Nothing but a Wisp of Fog
James 4:13-15 The Message (MSG)
13-15 I now have a word for you who brashly announce. “Today—at the latest, tomorrow—we’re off to such and such a city for the year. We’re going to start a business and make a lot of money.” You don’t know the first thing about tomorrow. You’re nothing but a wisp of fog, catching a brief bit of sun before disappearing. Instead, make it a habit to say, “If the Master wills it and we’re still alive, we’ll do this or that.”
Dr. Seuss wrote, “How did it get late so soon?” The older you get, the quicker time passes. The older you get, the more you understand the seasons of time, the qualities of time which have made up your life…years of struggle, moments of pure joy, seconds of pure terror, and vast stretches of boredom. I remember when summers seemed to last forever.
More than smartphones, computers, and tablets, the clock is the most addictive and controlling technological device we own today. In our culture, we learn lessons about the time along the way, like, “time is money,” and “wasted time is wasted opportunity.” We are are a culture that has found time so abundant we could kill it when we thought we had too much, with thinking like “I had some time to kill.”
Does the clock tell us what is most important in life, does it tell us that it is the time of beginning or end? That now is the time to break or reconcile? The time to rebuild or break down? We need to realize that the clock does not answer these questions. The ways and wonders of time are much more complicated, much deeper, much more sacred than we assume. It takes inner wisdom, cultivated purposefully and in quiet, deep spaces to learn how to really tell time.
Let’s spend our Time and Energy being creative, being kind, being an asset to your community and family. And, not worrying, not being fearful, not being pity and not listening and joining into the negativity. Be the Stewardship of Your Time!
It’s More Than A Lavish Luxury
SMALL BUSINESS CONCIERGE
Small businesses sometimes need extra support for specific projects or ongoing needs, without the need or hassle of hiring an additional employee.
If you don’t want to take on the added expense of a full or even part-time assistant or additional employee, you can still get the help you need… just when you need it.
A cost-effective solution, our team can serve as a personal small business concierge that makes phone calls, arrange travel or other bookings, provide internet research or complete to-do lists.
As part of a growing trend of outsourcing business tasks, small business concierges are playing an important role in today’s business workplace by providing cost-saving benefits to businesses and individuals.
Concierges can perform many of the same services as office-based employees but without the associated costs such as payroll tax, worker’s compensation, superannuation, sick, and other leave, or training, office space, cell phone, etc.
The list is endless; just let us know what your goals are and we can create a customized program to suit your business needs.
Please communicate the details – the more specific information from you helps to ensure the fastest and most accurate response possible. Feel free to contact Cheryl @ CC Home Concierge Co. to schedule a 30-minute complimentary consultation at (860)961-6824.
Say “Oui!” To French Country Ya’ll
French country design often incorporates ruffles, distressed woodwork, mixed patterns, and both vibrant and subdued hues.
While many people are under the impression this type of design is too gaudy to fit with today’s tastes, I think that could not be further from the truth. French country design showcases elegant simplicity at its finest — and, if given a chance, could become the next twist on rustic design.
The easiest way to achieve the goal of French Country is through your color palette. While the dominant shade in each room should still be fairly neutral, French country’s dependence on subdued hues means you can stretch that definition a little bit further than usual. Focus on colors that are inherently warm and subtle — such as tans, creams, and soft yellows — to fill this role.
Choose Subtle and Warm Colors –
Where your accent colors are concerned, you’ll want to choose shades that tune into French country’s traditional roots. Choose colors such as rust and antique white, which will infuse the room with a subconsciously historical feel.
Look For Furniture with Flowing Lines –
With this in mind, you want to follow many of the same rules as you would when putting together a traditional rustic look. Concentrate on incorporating plenty of natural materials. The shape of these pieces. However, is where this aesthetic sets itself apart. French country furniture boasts a variety of sophisticated, flowing lines to add plenty of visual interest in addition to function and purpose.
Embrace Your Weathered Textures –
One way to do that is through your finishes. Rather than having design elements that look as though they’ve come straight from the store, you want the impression that your rooms have seen a bit of history! When it comes to selecting flooring, furniture or even architectural elements like decorative wooden beams, choose finishes that are a bit distressed, or imperfect and rough around the edges.

We hold these Truths to be self-evident, that all Men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness—That to secure these Rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just Powers from the Consent of the Governed, that whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these Ends it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its Foundation on such Principles, and organizing its Powers in such Form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.
America has always been “Great” – We need to make it “Great” for everyone!
