There’s nothing quite as icky as a throw blanket that looks like it’s covered in dust or pet hair and hasn’t been used in years. Here’s a helpful hint, though: wash your throw blankets routinely, so they look and smell fresh. Like pillows, you can choose the material, color and design of your blanket to display your personality in your living room.īlankets, though, are wonderful for keeping you –or your guests – warm when you get chilly. I don’t think anything else in a living room can be as comfy as a blanket. Add a pop of color or funky design to create a one-of-a-kind space. One bonus with throw pillows is that they’re affordable enough that you can use them to decorate your room. They’re cozy for leaning on, stealing a quick nap, using to boost you forward if you happen to be short, or to plop on your lap. PillowsĮvery living room needs pillows, whether they’re on couches or chairs.

I really did start to dream bigger and by doing that, God has blown my mind.” On the last day of the ball, there at the gospel brunch, I was asked what I thought, and my response is in this short clip. “In that very moment, I decided to UP MY DREAMING!!

When I was sitting at a table with Yolanda Adams I said out loud, “What am I doing in this room?” She turned to me and said, “YOU BELONG IN THIS ROOM!” And I never forgot it.” While recalling a moment when gospel singer Yolanda Adams told him that he deserved to be at the event, he stated, “One of the things that helped me heal was being in that room. Thank God I got past it.”įurther in the caption, Perry also shared that the ball helped him heal through the trauma he endured growing up and the feeling of unworthiness. And trust me, I know how hard it is to feel worthy, especially when you grow up in an abusive household. Feeling unworthy can cause you to miss your greatest blessing. He added, “But hear me clearly, I had to do away with that feeling because that is a dangerous mindset.
But what I now know, looking back from my 52 years of living in this body, is that that feeling comes from the abuse I endured, the things that were said and done to me as a child.” I often felt small, like I didn’t belong. You see, at that age I struggled with feeling worthy of good things. Perry said, “Being there in that moment, something happened that changed my life’s path. The 52-year-old wrote, “When I was in my early 30s I didn’t know Oprah very well, but she gave me an experience that changed my life and set me on a path that has allowed me to try and do the same for many others.” Perry continued the post by saying that the ball forced to shift his mindset when being at an event with renowned individuals.
