The Story of how Cozy Home began
They say, “Home is where the heart is.” For me, “home” began as an empty lonely place. My passion for home is inspired by my past and longing for stability. I was homeless at the age of nine and put into foster care. From the ages of ten to sixteen I was placed back with my bipolar mother who struggled to care for me. Finally, I became a ward of the court at the age of sixteen when my mother left and I again became a foster child. I pressed into my faith and began healing through creative outlets such as art, design, and songwriting.
​
Several years later and more hardships including the passing of my father, nearly losing my own life, and a tragic divorce brought about the desire to rise above and "be the change I wish to see in the world” (Mahatma Gandhi). Life is about perspective. I choose to find joy in the middle of pain and have found a deep desire to help those around me find their joy too. My business began as a creative outlet in July 2015. I partnered with a local designer and mentor who gave me a platform to stage in the Tour of Homes in 2015 and 2016. I worked two jobs as a single mom and finally made the leap to be full-time in July 2021. I have since had the privilege of staging a multitude of homes and have been touched by the lives I have encountered. Cozy Home continues to grow and I am excited about what is coming next!
Homes will be broken. Hurt and pain may always be within reach. I count it a blessing for my many
trials. My journey has given me an eye to see the potential beyond the chaos and Cozy Home has given me a platform to use décor as a tool to bring an atmosphere of peace into my clients’ homes. If home is where the heart is at, then it should be filled with
love, peace, and a place of refuge. Not everyone has a house, but everyone deserves a place to call home. If home is where the heart is at, then my heart is you. Thank you for taking time to get to know me. May your home be filled with joy.
​
Blessings.
