About Me -- Loving the southern lifestyle
Valerie Davidson
Good Things Lifestyle Newsletter was born in 2020, the year none of us will forget.
The year 2020 proved to me the significance of pursuing and savoring the simple, beautiful and good things in life. There's nothing like going through a pandemic to show you life's priorities! Living in the Lowcountry of South Carolina has made it easy to relish slower days, bask in the sunshine, and appreciate beautiful scenery and towns.
Thanks to a propensity for research and adventure over the years (I'm over 50), I have learned about and discovered products, places and practices that are too good to not share. Some of these discoveries have been so profound that I often wish I had known about them when I was in my teens, 20s and 30s. As I am now a mother of college students (this above photo was taken in 2005), and my perspective on being a mother has evolved and sharpened in focus. I often think, "if only I knew then what I know now."
If I could rewind the clock and be 20 and 30 again, the Good Things Lifestyle Newsletter is the publication I wish I had read. The lessons I have learned over the years about organization, planning, health, fashion, home design, decor, budgeting, working, exercising, and traveling have stirred my vision for a newsletter dedicated to what is good in life.
I also look forward to learning from you about your favorite discoveries, products and places to visit. Please feel free to send me a message or comment in the blog posts.
Here's to embracing the beautiful Southern lifestyle -- no matter the year or wherever you live!
