Greetings!
I am Diana, better known as Renaissance Woman in my online
communities. I am so pleased that we
have this opportunity to connect here.
Though my new title as a contributor speaks of home renovation,
I’ll let you in on a little secret: What we are really doing is renaissancing
our spaces and the way we live in them.
As a woman who is passionate about renewing herself every
day, by learning and growing, I love to join with others who appreciate vibrant
living, and being in spaces that feed into that positive energy.
My home improvement life began very early. When I was 21, I helped construct a room
addition for my duplex. That first taste
of expanding my life by expanding my space was all it took to hook me on the
do-it-yourself lifestyle.
Though I have been improving living spaces ever since, I only
recently returned to my writing (in 2010).
I didn’t realize how much my life would change when I joined the writing and publishing community. Not only have I found beautiful people who
are now the best friends I could ever hope to have, but I have also discovered
that in writing about my passions I get to enjoy them over and over again.
I invite you to join our creative community. First there was HGTV and the DIY
Network, now there is our DIH Network (Do It
Herself or, if you’re a guy, Do It Himself).
We can be the Design Stars of the show we call life and living well. I’ll even go so far as to say we can be
divine designers just like Candice Olson (my hero).
We can make our network anything we want it to be. Just like my HGTV mentors, each of us can
present before and after features, share “how to” tutorials, write reviews of
our favorite products, and share tips.
Best of all, we can celebrate our successes together.

ReplyDeleteDelighted to know the Renaissance - Renovator Woman! You have me wanting to master my glue gun so I can trade it in for an auto-feed screw gun! I look forward to all the DIY projects you and those in your network share.
ReplyDeleteYou could tag team with Charli to publish a hilarious review on glue guns (or a feature about going from glue gun "disaster waiting to happen" to Glue Gun Goddess of the DIY Universe. It would be a fun lens to do with your writing gal pal. I double dare you two. ;-)

ReplyDeleteThanks, Mandee! We're going to have fun on this journey.
DeleteI truly enjoy diy projects and home renovation. I love the sense of accomplishment that follows doing a job myself, especially one that I found challenging. It is awesome that you are on Squidoo and here with us on Review This! I have always enjoyed reading your articles and I absolutely love "celebrating our successes together!"
ReplyDeleteIt is a privilege to be in this together. Can't wait until you take the plunge with your next total home make-over. And yes, it is always a joyous accomplishment to create something wondrous in your own space.
