2011 People Worth Knowing and InSights Holiday Party donor: Susan Dorbeck of Susan’s Drapery Designs

Today’s feature:

A 48” two sided throw and two 18” feather pillows, nature inspired leaf
patterns and shadow stripe fabrics with a soft cotton brush fringe in
beautiful hues of green and earth tones. Bundled up and tied together with
a silver bow, ready for that special someone on your Christmas list. Retail value $260

 

A note from Susan:

 

I began making window treatments and home decorating items part time for friends and neighbors, and my work quickly turned into a full time endeavor through referrals. Most of my clientele are concentrated in SE Michigan, however I have shipped my work across the country and internationally to many clients.

 

My work is innovative with a primary focus on quality and personal service and is done to meet the specific needs of my customers. I offer a wide variety of services including design consultation, fabric selection, installation and your cost is ultimately much lower than at any department store or specialty shop.

 

If you know of anyone who wants to warm up their windows and cozy up their homes, send them my way.

 

Hugs,
Susan

Push the Button

10 Rules for a Blissy Life Push the ButtonWhy is there such fear tangled up with that final step? Why do we get 99.99% of the way there, and then hesitate? Why, after all our hard work, do we shirk from actually shipping it?

Whatever the why, the feeling of pushing through and actually pushing the button is wild. Relief. Exhilaration. Satisfaction. And suddenly, the fear seems so silly.

I pushed the button. My book is now available for sale through Amazon’s Create Space self-publishing portal. The process itself, from a technical perspective, was relatively simple. The mental exercise was exquisite…watching where the fear bubbled up, the insecurities, the hesitations. It’s done — the roof didn’t cave in, no lightning struck. Turns out pushing the button is kind of a kick.

What button is in front of you? Are you ready to push it? Try it. Bliss follows, I promise.

Appreciation – thank you Austin

I was invited by a friend of mine (yes, we are Facebook friends!) to check out a youTube Channel focused on appreciation – people appreciating one another. When I went over to take a peek, I found this one, by a guy we know named Austin, so of course I had to click play.

What a great surprise – yes, appreciation does exactly what Marilyn and Scott share in their youTube channel, The Appreciation Project

This channel is designed to start a global conversation that affects how we relate to each other at work, at home, and in our communities. Expressing genuine appreciation builds bridges and brings out the best in all of us.

It sure got me smiling today! Austin, we appreciate you!

A new local venue: Studio West – Site of the InSights Holiday Party 2011!

For those of you who have been anxiously awaiting the release of the top secret location for the InSights holiday party – it’s been announced. You see, there were lights in a window in what used to be vacant warehouse space behind Bagger Dave’s in downtown Brighton last week. I saw the lights – set up in what looked to be a gallery – and I was intrigued!

 

Being curious, as I was walking past the night of the Holiday Glow, I stopped in – and sure enough! It is a newly designed space featuring an art gallery…

Studio West, a Work Skills Corporation venture provides people with disabilities and others we serve with an opportunity to express their artistic abilities by creating artwork in a multitude of mediums and then taking pride in selling their art.

 

The Studio West interior is the perfect location for us to celebrate our holiday cheer. All are welcome at this open event. Please RSVP here!
