This week's episode: Dedicated in Celebration of Linda Luttrull Harmon's  Life | Artist & Owner of Design Studio 407

In this week's episode I remember and honor Linda Luttrull Harmon and the lessons I have learned and seen from her life. Linda was an artist and the faithful owner of Design Studio 407. Design Studio 407 is a magical boutique of art, design services, home accessories, vintage finds, gifts and candles. Linda was a wife, mother, sister, believer, artist and it was evident she was a friend to all she met. Most importantly she was a supporter and cheerleader to me personally in my artistic journey. She brought hope everywhere she went and I would have loved to interview Linda on Design Chats, but I am honored to have known her and celebrate her life through the dedication of this episode. I discuss how we can be inspired, empowered and challenged to continue to share the hope of Jesus we have. Join me today for the rest of the conversation!

Read about Linda's life and her creative journey!
