Citizens of yayaville

Yayaville started very innocently. Originally it was decided that it was a " woulda, shoulda, oughta" kind of thing. A group of decorator's got together during a conference and soon found a want to keep in touch with one another. What started as a group thrown together by the love of all things decorative, blossomed in to a friendship where daily chatter was no longer about decorating spaces, but also decorating one an other's lives with laughter, support, encouragement and comradery. In a business usually very secretive and competetive, we found that our businesses actually started to flourish because of our ability to share resources and support. Women helping women to succeed. We have since had many a story of successes and defeats. We've had moments of jubilation and heartbreak. We have laughed out loud while sharing tales of weight loss and menopause, hair mishaps and parenting. We have also been shoulder's to lean on when one of us has suffered a loss be it a friend or a family member. That is how the Power of 7 was born. There are 8 yaya's in all. When ever one of us is in need we call on the power of the other 7 to pray or send positive thoughts our way. We have all felt the need and felt the strength of knowing that we are never alone. What are some of the other things we have learned...well real women do drive trucks...BIG ONES IN FACT and can look real sexy doing so...socks and crocs is not a style of dress it's an attitude...fucowee isn't a destination but a starting point...lemon drop martinis are better for the soul then any old chicken soup. It's not what you drink...it's how you drink it...PINKIES up ya'll.

How does a nice girl like me end up in a place like this? It all started so innocently. I was just a simple decorator with a simple wish...to make the world pretty one room at a time. Do I still get to do that...Oh Thank God Yes! But has my life become so much more then what I envisioned it would...yes again! And for that I owe a great deal of gratitude to my fellow decorating yaya's.

Join me as we take a journey to a place called yayaville. Come meet the characters and learn, live, love, cry and triumph with the Power of 7. The journey can be far more thrilling then the final destination.
