September is here and just knowing fall is around the corner makes me want to put a cozy sweater and boots on! I love the fall with new activities, delicious soups, returning to Bible studies, college football, pumpkins and the brisk breeze both in the morning and evenings.
For Peony Market, we have some new beginnings and we are celebrating Marilyn Amburgy who has been with me from the beginning helping with all of the accounting. I have been so thankful for the differences we bring to the table. We dined at Rays on the River with our spouses and signed the operating agreement. I found it humorous and interesting that Marilyn wore a white dress and I chose a black dress to celebrate the occasion. It was a true picture of our differences.
Differences are crucial to making businesses, friendships, relationships and marriages work. We bring unique gifts to the table which makes them all thrive. We are made for working together and not missing out on how others add beauty to our lives. I am grateful for the addition of Marilyn who is an intelligent, creative, godly woman who loves deeply and cares about women who have been through traumatic situations. She is a gifted individual with accounting and business skills. She loves helping women find their true identities in God. Marilyn and I share a heart for ministries such as Uncaged and Victoria’s Friends both of which care for women in need. We look forward to collaborating with these organizations to give back to the beautiful women they serve. The gifts we curate are to bring beauty while encouraging women in all walks of life. Peony Market’s vision is to curate unique gifts to love and cherish those in our path.
In order to make that happen we will host a gathering October 15th and 16th. You will be receiving an official invitation with details soon. So, mark your calendars for the day that works best for you! The gathering will be held inside and outside of my home. We will have a lot of sale items as well as new items for you to consider. We look forward to seeing you and are grateful for your support.
Gratefulness is discovering the differences in your relationships and the unique gifts they bring to the table. I am truly thankful for the relationships God has given me. They help me by their encouragement, prayers, support, talent and enrich my life.
Before the next event, I have a suggestion. Write down those you are so grateful for and and bring your lists so you can find gifts to say thank you for being in my life. This will be a good opportunity for early Christmas shopping and even gifts for your home!
