The Legacy beginning

My name is Mitzi Galason, CEO of Legacy Design Group, Interior Designer and Mommy of Addison, Kaden, Isaiah, Jonathan and Rebecca, and MANY other children around the world.   I grew up in the small town of Duck Hill, Mississippi.  If you have ever heard my husband Ken talk about it, you would know that he swears it is the center of the universe.  He would ask you something like this, "Have you heard the story of Adam and Eve?"  Jokingly most people say yes!  Ken would respond with something like this, "Well Duck Hill is where the story of Adam and Eve took place."  To this day, I have not figured out if Ken's perspective is a good thing or a bad thing, but for me, I find it to be great truth in the aspect of my life personally.  For me, Duck Hill, Mississippi is the beginning, it is where my story began, and I am forever grateful that God chose for me this community to establish my foundation and my beginning.

I grew up in a home where we didn't have an abundance of things and life wasn't always a bouquet of roses.  I faced many challenges in my life, but these challenges and the choices that I made throughout my Journey are what made me the person I am today and for that, I wouldn't change a thing.  My prayer is that the Lord uses my testimony in the lives of many across the world to reach people for His Glory.  When people see me, I want them to know that I am a broken mess in the hands of a Creator that restores and gives broken new beginnings.   I am the person I am today because the Lord never gave up on me.  I am also thankful that He chose to use my family as well as the community of believers who never gave up on me to breath life, hope and who loved me in the midst of my darkness. 

The roots of my foundation run deep in the rich soil of Mississippi, and the people of my community as well as people in communities around the world have invested so much into this little heart of mine, creating a passion for people and a desire to give back in ways that are beyond my level of comprehension.  
May God be Glorified....

ENJOY THE JOURNEY FRIENDS.....
You Are Loved!

Interesting article. I too was born and raise in Duck Hill. My roots and my beginning has mode me into a lifelong educator and a love for children. May God continue to guide you and your family.

Mitzi, please tell your husband that Adam and Eve lived in the garden of Kilmichael. My family has strong ties to Duck Hill as well. Thank you for sharing your Journey.
