Hello my dear sweet friends!  Enjoy your Monday Mantra for this week!  Do your best, forget the rest… There is a sign next to our door.  The door I use every day to leave and enter our home.  It is there purposefully, as a reminder, and sentimentally. The same sign hung next to my Grandmother’s door.  The door she used every day to leave and enter her home.  It was there purposefully, as a reminder, and what would become a mantra. If you look at it closely, it is just a simple frame.  It isn’t elegant, the furthest thing from...

Hello Friends!  Welcome to M2 and madisonmoyer.com.  For years I have been wanting to start a blog.  I have made every excuse in the book not to… no one will read it, who am I to feel that what I have to say is important, I’m too busy, etc.  Yet, time and time again, my heart kept coming back to this and I knew it was something I needed to do.  2019 is the year that it becomes a reality and I am so excited to welcome you to this space!  Before we jump into posts, let me introduce you...
