Celebrate! Celebrate!

June marks the one year anniversary of my business, Walk in My Shoes! My business license renewal showed up in the mail yesterday and that's what reminded me. It was great timing because yesterday was also the five year anniversary of moving into my home in Durham.

Two wonderful events in my life worthy of celebration!
I have enjoyed the first year of Walk in My Shoes. I have been surrounded by amazing, wonderful people who have mentored, supported, and guided me along the way. I have also had the privilege of traveling all over NC and meeting people who are working to end domestic violence.

I have also enjoyed making my house a home over the past five years. It's been so great to be in a space where I felt like I belonged. And the best part has been taking a jungle and making it into a yard with beautiful flowers and plants. My house was empty for almost a year before I moved in and the yard was a veritable sea of poison ivy! It has come a long way in five years!

That's what I hope for Walk in My Shoes as well - to continue to train advocates across NC and beyond - to take a startup with a very successful first year and continue to work to end domestic violence. With the help of my friends, family, and mentors - all my goals are possible!

I look forward to year two of Walk in My Shoes and year six in my home, Amelia Hill. (named for one of my heroes, Amelia Earhart).
