As we wind down 2010 and look forward to 2011, I can't help but look back at this past year and be profoundly grateful for our many good blessings, both personally and professionally. From a business perspective, the company continues to draw amazing clients that put their faith and trust in us to design and build their homes....this is only possible due to our ridiculously dedicated and talented staff who work tireless hours under a particular taskmaster, yes, I am talking about my husband, Jeff - the founder and owner of Whitney Blair since our beginnings in Chapel Hill some 25 years ago. Jeff's continued persistence for excellence in himself and Whitney Blair keeps us all on the right path - well, at least we try.
From a personal perspective it's been a tough year for me with the unexpected loss of my mother. My mother was Whitney Blair's biggest fan, clipping out newspaper articles on the company, talking to her neighbors in SeaTrail about Jeff and the company...well, really it comes down that my mother was Jeff's biggest fan, and Whitney Blair was (and is) just an extension of him. My mother's passing has helped us to remain grounded on what's really important in life: your family, your health, and your faith to see you through those tough times...how you treat others...selflessness opposed to selfishness.
And that's really all that is important when all is said and done.
We welcome 2011 with a renewed outlook and outreach to our Whitney Blair family of staff, homeowners, and current clients.
