Purple 2.0

I once worked for an interior design firm. Most of our clients were very wealthy and came back to us time and time again for our services. The average life span of an interior design job done well for an extremely wealthy person is dependent on three things:

• How quickly they recover from paying that final invoice
• How quickly they get bored with all their new pretty things
• How soon after the completed project they decide to purchase another home

This life span was approximately 5 years across the board for every single client. So, knowing this, it comes as no surprise that Purple (having just celebrated 5 rewarding years) is on the brink of some really wonderful changes. It seems to be time to reinvent ourselves. Reinvention is the Mother of all succesful people/entities....Madonna, Apple, you name it, its either getting reinvented or regressing. It feels like the perfect time for a new image, a new niche, and new fresh attitudes.

Needless to say, June has been a busy month and it's been exciting to think about all the possibilities.....a new edgier vibe, remodeling the farmhouse from top to bottom, remodeling the barn for additional living space, the options seem limitless! So call it what you will, Purple 2.0, Purple squared, New and Improved, the changes on the horizon will be for the better. I'm so excited, I'm already thinking about Purple 3.0!

You Gotta Start Somewhere

As the new administrative assistant of Purple Inc., a long-time supporter of all things Purple, and the wife of one of the owners, I have taken on the responsibility of keeping up with this blog. I love Purple for several reasons:

1. Most importantly, we help the most important group of people in the world (that's my opinion, of course)-alcoholics and addicts! I personally believe if all the alcoholics and addicts in the world got sober at one time, there would be world domination. Seriously, the smartest most intuitive people I know are alcoholics and addicts. So be nice to your neighborhood alkie....
2. Two of my most favoritest men own the facility-my amazing jedi husband, Brett and my sweet sweet father-in-law, Joel.
3. Purple now provides my pay check.

I think that about sums it up. The purpose of this blog is, well.....we're not really sure. Possibly to entertain the light-hearted side of addiction, possibly to educate on the not so light-hearted side of addiction, or possibly to reach someone who needs help. More likely, a combination of all three. Happy Reading!
