Welcome to Our Journal!

A new year is upon us which makes for a great time to focus on personal growth and development. New years mean new chances to reflect on goals and aspirations, and the steps we must take to achieve them. Starting over when the calendar resets is a great way to start on a clean slate. But when we say we need to start over, what does that actually mean?

The power of journaling can be a life-changing one. As a business owner constantly working on improving, my journal is my home base. It reminds me of why I started this journey, and looking back at old entries reminds me of how far I have come.

Winter can be a gloomy and dreary time of year, but let’s be honest, adding anything bright and green to the inside of our homes during these cold, bleak months is advisable for morale, and a reminder that warmth is on the way. Whether it’s Lilies that fill my home with the most beautiful fragrance, or Poppies that sit in a vase like a painting come to life, flowers brighten space and mood in ways that cannot be duplicated.

This past year I have noticed a global celebration of the social, economic, cultural, and political achievements of women. We are using our voices to bring awareness and much-needed change, and the data is on our side.

Dry January is upon us, and many of us are thinking about ways to refresh and detox from the myriad of Holiday comfort foods and drinks we gobbled down. One way to do this is by incorporating healthy habits into our daily routines, like eating clean, cutting the alcohol, and making time for self-care.

HALF UNITED has been broadening our mission of fighting hunger so that, through our work, people in our community and around the world may lead more full lives. As we gainfully employ artisans and manufacturers to bring our designs to life, we are making an impact. This impact continues as you carefully curate your holiday table with HALF UNITED products and share those with others.
