Keziah Design

“The name Keziah is a Hebrew word.  It describes a tree that has aromatic bark or berries.  This “spice” tree produces berries that have a sweet smell.  Birds often pick these pure berries for a delicious treat.

Keziah Design can be summed up in three words – fresh, relevant and creative.

What I do and how I am different!
Anyone can make a logo or design, but not everyone can make creativity relevant to your specific needs.  Simply stated, it takes a partnership and collaborative, creative thinking.  I bring ideas that are unexpected and fresh.“

Hey everyone, I just wanted to highlight a little design company I’ve been working with for over a year now.  My good friend Dave Butler is the owner of Keziah Design and he has helped Retread with all of our branding.  He’s currently working with us to develop a logo and membership card for our Jubilee Kids Club and he’s also helping me with the design and branding for the personal photography business I’ve started.

The reason I continue to go back to Keziah Design when I need something designed is because of the personal hands on relationship that’s formed between Dave and any person he’s working with.  He cares about what you want and will work with you until YOU are satisfied!  So, go over and check out their website today!

Especially his illustrations!  If you’re looking for someone to illustrate the children’s book you just wrote, Dave’s your guy!!!

Oh Christmas Eve

It’s Christmas eve and I’m sitting in my game room waiting for my U-verse to reset since I just upgraded to receive their HD package.  I’m excited!  They gave me an awesome deal and even with the upgrade my bill will be dropping.  Yes!  Christmas comes early for the second time this year.

I was reminded this morning, as I took my son to purchase a gift for his mother, how excited children get for opening up presents.  I’m either getting really old or it’s just not as exciting for me anymore.  Maybe my perspective has changed from gifts to friends, because as I shopped this morning all I could really think about were friends.  Friends from high school, college, and current friends who are really important to me, like the ones who sit on my board of directors for Retread.  I value and appreciate them so much.

This year has been incredibly challenging and I’ve had to overcome some major personal struggles.  I’m still working on some, but I’m confident I wouldn’t be where I’m at today, if it weren’t for friends.  It has really been a defining year and it’s helped me realize how important my friends truly are.  I’ve learned I can’t live my life alone and the importance of community, friendship, and being surrounded by people who I love is vital to my ability to exist. 

I’m confident this Christmas eve will continue to be filled with memories and thoughts of friends and those memories and thoughts are such a wonderful gift to me this Christmas.  I’m excited about the new year and what it holds and look forward to developing new friendships, redefining old ones, and spending more time with the friends who are currently in my life.

I hope today, you’ll spend some time thinking about your friends and consider the true gift they are in your life.  Merry Christmas!!!
