Join us this week on Christian Devotions SPEAK UP! when Scott McCausey learns more about how we can live a life of hospitality with guest Roxanne Packham.

Born into a circle of highly creative designers and entrepreneurs, Roxanne considers her family a constant source of inspiration and encouragement. Her maternal grandfather, Allan Adler, "silversmith to the stars," was not only her dear, sweet grandfather of whom she was immensely fond, but her greatest inspiration when it came to design advice. Spending many nights at her grandparents’ home while attending both USC and FIDM, her grandfather’s design advice on numerous projects, which she completed at that time, proved life-changing.

Roxanne often found herself learning this legacy around the family table. All of these precious life lessons, encouragement, laughter, and fun were exchanged at the always beautifully set family table. Privileged? Yes, but not in the way you would automatically think. Roxanne feels this privilege was the gift of listening to these hard-working men, and women. You know the quote: “Behind every great man stands a great woman!” This is our heritage and where she gets her inspiration... wanting to set the stage for others to pass their heritage down through the generations. Her mission is to use design to help other families set the stage to instill their family legacies around the table, be it farmhouse, dining or picnic table...this is Roxanne's dream.
