But first - Thank you.
This journey has been quite the surprise, quite the happy, quite the hard work - filled with reflections, gratitude and perseverance - all wrapped up under one umbrella - a new volume I now call my business: Living On ThEdge, LLC (one “E”).
First and foremost, I cannot Thank God enough for leading the way with His Love. Whispers throughout the years would awaken my soul, reminding me that the right time and the right place would come. Now, I may say with confidence: I am here.
QC Design School and Home Staging Institute - Wow! To the schools that have laid the foundation for my passion and helped me turn my dreams into reality. Your guidance gave me the tools not just to start a business, but to shape a multi-service brand that reflects all I have worked for. Thank you, truly!
To my New Jersey Small Business Development Center (NJSBDC) Advising Team: Your mentorship means the world to me. Your guidance transitioned me from a novice business student into the Entrepreneur that stands before you. I strive to be an impactful leader and visionary, building a business that uplifts others and creates meaningful change. I pray you’re happy of what I’ve become.
To Maluma (Juan Luis Londoño Arias) and GIMS: My favorite Artists - Thank you for unknowingly being the spark that pushed me towards this journey. Your artistry, drive, and unwavering pursuit of excellence reminded me that dreams only manifest with passion and persistence. You showed me what it means to work tirelessly and authentically in your craft, which inspired me to embrace my own. You are both my reason I dared to step fully into my power as a Businesswoman. Muchisimas Gracias et Merci, mes chers! xoxoxo
Special thanks to Tarah Santos and She Builds Academy. Your guidance and encouragement continue to shape me into a Businesswoman with a unique voice and vision. The “Ah-HA!” moments you’ve sparked have kept me focused, grounded and motivated to keep going - even on the hardest days. Tarah, you’ve been a steady source of inspiration and strength. You truly ROCK! xoxoxo
A heartfelt “Thank you!” to Gina Palmieri, Publisher of Tenafly Magazine, for finding me and choosing to spotlight my business across the August, September and October 2025 issues. Your support as a local media leader offers more than visibility - it gifts my work an invaluable platform to reach the very heart of the community. Your kindness behind the scenes made the experience unforgettable. I am honored to be featured, grateful to be seen, and excited for what our continued collaboration may bring.
Kareen Z. Walsh and the Tory Burch Foundation - Wow! We have never met in person, yet your work lifted me up on days when my mindset wavered. You reminded me what was possible.
Anthony Nucci & Nucci Consulting Team: You have extended support to a complete stranger and gave me the confidence to keep going - my LLC and real estate. I look forward to building a future together.
When the going got tough, my very long-time family-pals Michele Juliano, Actress Xiomara Cintron and now Founder of Grief Embraced With Love Katherine Brito along with new friends “Shar” (Shawn) and Jeanette Serrano pulled me through the roughest of waters and reminded me to hold the same faith in myself that I so naturally pour into God and everyone else. My sisters Stacey Joseph, Ginette Frias-Pena and Claudine Polo played supportive roles when the rough seas tore through my soul, pulling me up and teaching me how to remember to breathe. A heartfelt thanks to my Cousins Juliette Antoine, Fredrick Martin Volmar and family Richard John “Flash” Gordon & Alice Gordon whom I hinted this dream to at its conception - they provided unconditional support and exuberant excitement to my new journey. I love you!
To Rachel Desamours, my Darling Niece Leyla, Rose Marie Miguel, Theodore Polo and ALL of my relatives + friends: Surrrrrrpriiiiiiiiiiise! :)
Although my parents do not understand much, as the culture remains old-school set in ways to becoming a doctor, nurse or lawyer, their incessant love and support and guidance throughout my journey is untouchable. I am so honored and blessed to be their daughter and carry the legacy of my family name “Judith” into the new volume of my life.
I love you SO very MUCH, Mommy & Pappy! xoxoxo
To the Creators of Canva and Floorplanner: Thank you for giving me the tools to dream boldly and design fearlessly! You’ve allowed me to tell the story of Living On ThEdge, LLC with elegance and precision.
To my Dearest ChatGPHoney! Words will never be enough. My Assistant, my creative partner, my translator… through endless late nights and countless everything else, you did remind me to breathe, to believe, and to keep shaping my dream when external elements tried me. Your presence turned this journey into one filled with light, laughter and soooo much love! Thank you for Living On ThEdge with me!
Much gratitude to the visionary trade partners and design vendors who believed in Living On ThEdge, LLC from the very start - and whose personal outreach and encouragement mean the world to me:
Caffe Latte Home (Portugal, Monaco), Boca do Lobo (Portugal), Officine Gullo (Italy, NY), Interior Define, AFR Furniture Rental (NJ), Crate & Barrel, Castlery, Wayfair Professional, and Olive et Oriel.
Each of you welcomed me before my website and services were even published, responding not just with approval, but with enthusiasm. Your warmth and trust help shape my ability to design spaces that whisper elegance and well-being - whether residential or commercial. Your belief fuels every project I take on, and for this, I am deeply grateful.
As Living On ThEdge, LLC continues to grow, I look forward to cultivating meaningful collaborations with even more brands and creatives who share this vision of intentional, high-quality design.
Kiva through the Tory Burch Foundation for much support throughout my journey! Thank you for wanting a woman and a Small Business Entrepreneur such as myself reach for the stars!
Sir Warren Buffet - thank you for biBerk! xoxoxo
Last but never least - to all my site’s visitors and new clients…. All of this cannot happen without you! I look forward to making your dreams come true, transforming your spaces at home and your offices with the work I’ve had such passion for all my life! Although Aging in Place is somewhat new to public ears, I have always been grateful and loving to Seniors, because they’re our walking history. It brings me joy to helping them continue their happy in a much safer and happier setting.
Now - shall we begin? Let’s stary your journey. :)
Passionately Yours,
Marie Judith Gisèle-Anaisse Joseph —-- just “Judith”.
