There are certain times when an idea becomes reality, whether big or small, that feels so completely rewarding. Last night, feeling the warmth of our outdoor fireplace on my back, I felt a specific comfort from not only the crackling heat of the hearth, but also in the perseverance of my husband and the knowledge that hard work, research, and motivation can land us in a place that felt for so long like just a dreamy idea. My hat goes off to my husband for creating something that I started off by saying, “I would love a ……”. Our hands and our hearts can do wonderful things.
