Mistakes are knowledge waiting to happen -- You can't always choose what you keep, but you can choose what you let go -- The thing with having a big mouth is that you have to back it up -- Own the process or the process will own you -- Sometimes you have to skip the lemonade and deal with the lemons -- Passion allows the phoenix to rise from the ashes -- Live your normal, because there is no "normal" -- Make your home, friends, and family your sanctuary.
Summary:
Nicole
Curtis
, the star of the megahit HGTV Television show Rehab Addict, reveals her private struggles, her personal victories, and the inspiring lessons we can all learn from them. Part celebrity memoir and part self-help book, go behind the scenes with an entrepreneurial single mom who worked her way from waitress/real estate agent to home renovation expert, preservationist, and television star. Eight lessons told through her life story and through several of the homes she has remodeled, including the private and personal struggles not seen on TV. Working in Detroit and Minneapolis,
Curtis
has opened her fans' eyes to the beauty of older homes and the value of reclaiming and reusing authentic original materials rather than sending dumpster loads to the local landfill.
Curtis
applies the same principles to her personal life - valuing old friends, rescuing dogs, and advocating for the wounded, the elderly, and the disadvantaged. Readers will find inspiration to apply to their own lives supplemented photos of
Curtis
and the homes she renovates.
