I have a thrilling new job.

You all know how I feel about local love. Supporting local shops and businesses is important to me. I am thrilled that I get to make this happen.

Leaving the newspaper after 14 years was heart-wrenching. During my last week, I drove around town listening to songs about lost love, and all the lyrics applied. I’ll continue my work as a journalist in freelance forums now, and I’m excited to make that great. And this blog, as ever, will continue right here.

REstyle Source is about everything I love: design, beauty, restaurants, cities, small discoveries, large dreams and the joy in sharing that with others. What an opportunity to be a part of something so right.

So, come find REstyle Source on Facebook and Instagram (@REstyleSource), where it’s all Christmas, and all kinds of fun. (Just WAIT til I show you the gift wrap we’re working on for next week.) Don’t forget to get on the list for our launch here. Come share the local love.
