My Thoughts on Oprah's 2020 Vision Tour

February 11, 2020 0 Comments

So to really sum it up...it was one of the most incredible events that I have ever been part of. There were goosebumps, tears shed, empowerment, affirmation, a-ha moments, spiritual thoughts, dancing, Oprah swag bags, new friends made, meditation and words said that are so thought provoking, I will remember this for the rest of my life! It was O-MAZING!

A Full Circle and Oprah

You either love her...or you don't. I'm talking about Oprah. I happen to love Oprah and this past weekend I was able to check another item off my bucket list by seeing her on her in Minneapolis on her 2020 Vision Tour. Something happened there and brought me full circle.

New Day, New Year and a New Decade!

January 01, 2020 0 Comments

It's funny, I have sat down several times to write my decade in review and all of those times I have deleted my writing and started over. The last couple of weeks I have been super reflective and introspective and thought I would share all that has happened in the last 10 years. As I wrote and then deleted, I realized that so many amazing things happened and also many things that I definitely want closure on so I can move on.

Non Negotiable

When was the last time you thought about things that were really important to you and things that only happen "over my dead body!"
I think a lot of times we make decisions, like BIG decisions without sometimes considering what are our non negotiables. READ MORE...

Connection

September 05, 2019 0 Comments

A few weeks ago I did a huge brain dump, thinking of all the ways that I can best serve my customers. As I transition into this next chapter, I feel it is important to stay connected, reflect on the things that have and the things that haven’t worked well in my business and fill the days ahead with reasons to show up.

My Brown Dresser Re-invented

I thought? "What's the big deal?"

...and then it really got me thinking. Not about painting dressers, but life! Like my dresser, we all need a little change in our lives. Some do better with change than others. Some crave change (like me) and others fight it and only make changes when they are forced too.

The She Shed

Or the Wine Shack. Or the Jewelry Hut. Or the She Shack. Or the Shedio. Whatever the name of it, I knew I wanted to build a workshop of sorts in our backyard that would give all those things back to me and it was't long before my research and planning began. I thought I knew what I wanted until I started looking at what was out there!

Exclusive Collections

I have been at this for a long time, making handmade jewelry for over 11 years now and I still love the moments best where I can sit down and just create; where time gets lost and my hands can't move fastest enough for the ideas spilling out of my brain. THOSE are the best days!

It is with a sad heart and new excitement that I am announcing a huge change with Marni LuHu Designs, studio and boutique...

Aha!

I had an "Aha Moment" yesterday. We've heard Oprah talk about those for years on her talk show...did you know I share a birthday with that amazing woman? sure do!

From Trash to Treasure

June 14, 2018 0 Comments

...But you've all heard the saying, "one (wo)man's trash is another (wo)man's treasure". This has become my creative mantra since discovering Cottage Paint/Milk Paint. You would not believe the amount of furniture and decor items I've found at thrift stores, garage sales, my own basement, or even dumpsters (more on that to come) that I've entirely transformed into something lifestyle-magazine worthy using only a paintbrush and some good ol' Cottage Paint.

My Heart Will Go On Part II

It was soooo cold, like teeth chattering cold, as I lay on my bed in the operating room waiting for my team to show up. Bursting through the door they came! Being the smart ass that I am greeted the docs with, "Did everyone wear their capes today?"
