This is me…
Hi there. Thanks for stopping by!
My name is Michelle and I am the founder of Souly Inspired Living. My purpose here is to help you create a home that reflects who you are. In my last post, I promised that I would introduce myself and my home to help illustrate the ways in which a home can reflect who you are as a person. So here it goes!
I’m in my late 30’s and refuse to let my age define me. My friends tell me that I have more energy than anyone they know and am always busy doing something. I have done and been a lot of things in life: a corporate monkey, a makeup artist, a realtor, a general contractor, a construction project manager, an entreprenuer. The list goes on. Aside from what I DO, who I AM is more complicated. I’ll take you on a quick tour!
I’m a Cancer through and through, for those of you who follow astrology, and an ENFP for all you Meyers-Briggs nerds. I’m a mother to two young boys who my world revolves around. I’m ultra sensitive, intuitive and nurturing. I’m an artist, creative in my way of thinking and love solving problems. I am very close to my family and also very sentimental, finding value in things that are passed down or that have a story. I am passionate about self-awareness and discovery and enjoy learning as much about myself as I can. The deeper I go into learning about myself, the more clear my life path becomes. I’m into things some would call eccentricities, like crystals and tarot cards. I sage my house frequently and always have a candle or incense burning. I am guarded (hello Cancer crab), with a hard shell and really squishy insides. I will openly fly my freak flag with those I am closest to but most of the world won’t see that side of me. My circle is tight but broad: I have a lot of friends but very few of them know me in my entirety. I am equally balanced between the left and the right brain, equally creative and logical. I love dancing and am most inspired by music that makes me want to move. World cultures and religions are fascinating to me and I am a perpetual student of life. I dream big and believe there is nothing I can’t do. I am smart, confident, bold and unafraid. I love a challenge and prefer to find alternative ways of doing normal things. Thinking outside the box is a core competency and something I enjoy. I am passionate, decisive and impulsive, led by my intuition and feelings 99% of the time.
Obviously getting to know someone is more than reading a few paragraphs on a blog. But as I share my home with you, I hope you’ll be able to identify some of the traits that I’ve mentioned reflected in my decor. Oftentimes the stories I share about how I came to decorate a space will point to my personality, which is my goal with every client.
Thank you for joining me on my home tour, I hope you enjoy yourself while you’re here!
