Thank you, Santa! What I wish for Christmas is already here. Jack, Rooney and Coco are snuggled in bed. Mackenzie just left the house to start her early work day. And I woke to these boots and a solo sock,
reminding me that Zach is upstairs and home for Christmas. Feeling blessed is an understatement.
2014 has been a full year. Mackenzie earned her Master’s degree, Zach his Bachelor’s degree. I launched Out of the Weeds; this blog, and began my career in manufacturing and distribution. I turned 50 years old. I’m grateful that my children are living their dreams, and get to watch me live mine, no matter the age.
I love where we chose to live and am grateful each day for the warmth and sunshine, the birds, the sea and the sand.
I am thankful for friends, near and far, old and new, and although I don’t get to see most of you often enough, I know you’re here, and for that, I’m grateful.
I am grateful for the big grey ghost that shares every moment of every day with us, and our crazy-ass chihuahua, who made it through a life-threatening experience this year (although the experience didn’t humble her one bit).
Memories . . . thank you for the memories that are so raw this time of year. Memories of Christmases past. Of loved ones lost. Of loved ones who’ve chosen to go. Grateful for the bittersweet memories.
I live each day with love, with a man who supports my unfaltering devotion to my children, my need to travel and explore the earth, and my commitment to grow a business while he is trying to quiet his professional world. Gratitude seems too small a word to describe my feelings for Jack. Thank you, again, Santa.
Most of all, I am grateful just to be here, living life, experiencing the wonders of it all, with both the joys and sorrows that are a part of the journey.
I wish each of you holidays that are equally happy, healthy and memory-making.
Cheers,
Robin
Very sweet and very inspiring. We are indeed blessed! Happy holidays to you and your family; I know you’ll thoroughly enjoy all of the magic!
Thank you, Andi, for your part in my 2014. And the very best to the Kuhn and Graham clan.
I love the photos of the dogs as well as your poignant words. A very Merry Christmas to all your family!
I’m so grateful for your part of my 2014, Juliann, and look forward to many new memory-making opportunities in the near future. Merry Christmas!
What a pretty and sweet tribute to the past year! Merry Christmas!
Thank you, Ester, for your friendship through it all! Here’s to 2015. Merry Christmas!
You are never at a loss for BEAUTIFUL, INSPIRING words
Oh, Janet, your kind words help keep me inspired. I just looked at your grandsons’ pictures from the weekend. They are so handsome. You are truly blessed. My love to you and your family always, but especially at Christmas.
Beautiful Robin! We are surely very blessed and have so much to be thankful for! Merry Christmas to you and the family! xo
You’ve had a year of wonderment as well, Tanya. My love to you and your family and hope to see you soon. A catch up is required! xo
Life is a challenge, but you have found your niche my dear. HAPPY NEW YEAR to you and yours.
And a very happy Christmas and 2015 to you and your family, Marsha. Hope to see you soon!
I truly am so grateful to have you in my life & for the INCREDIBLE year you/ALL have, had!!! You ARE an inspiration!!! Your LIGHT gives us ALL hope, as we travel the road on our own journey to our DREAMS!!!
Thank you, my Friend. YOU ARE A BECON(sp?)
I LOVE YOU, ALL!!! Merry Christmas!!!
May 2015 be EVEN MORE ENCHANTING!!!
Your friendship has meant so much to me, Patty. Thank you for your love and support, decades worth. I admire your courage and strength, and YOU inspire me. I wish you and your loved ones a blessed Christmas, and I look forward to seeing you in 2015.
There aren’t enough hours in a day for an entrepreneur. But in the short time I’ve been lucky enough to get to know you, Robin, you have filled me and so many others with your devotion of time, wisdom and never-ending optimism. Your words are beautiful and bring to light the ‘reason for the season’ … you are a genuine inspiration. May your holidays with friends and family be joyous and bright and as full of love as the love you so generously share. And P.S. — so far the recipients of your already-infamous Out of the Weeds dressings are totally psyched with their gifts! Feeling so blessed to know you, my friend.
What joyous words to wake to this Tuesday morning, two days before Christmas. Our friendship reminds me how important it is for busy, driven and inspired women to lift one another. My wish for you this holiday is that you get to rest, and slow your world down just for a short time, as you are surrounded with the love and peace of the season. I am grateful for the art, beauty and creativity you bring to not only my world, but to the city of St Pete, and will enjoy sharing it with loved ones this week.
Here’s to a 2015 filled with continued growth and success for each of us, and a little more free time so we can sit together and savor it.
Cheers, oh special lady,
Robin
Robin, it’s so sweet and touching, I am so glad we got to work together on launch of your dressings and for all your help (when one door closed for me new one’s opened at 3birds) and for that thank you so much, wish you, Jack and your family Merry Christmas
We wish you the merriest Christmas ever, Petra. I’ve so enjoyed working with you, am happy to have you as a part of our Three Birds family, and look forward to working on new things together in 2015.
Cheers!
Just keeps getting better. Waiting for more.
Thank you!
Cheers
