Meet Cathy Dewalt of UR Special Day in Spring
Today we’d like to introduce you to Cathy Dewalt.
Cathy, can you briefly walk us through your story – how you started and how you got to where you are today.
I was born & raised in the small town of Port Gibson, MS. Moved to The Woodlands 18 years ago where I work in the Oil & Gas Industry. I started my business about three years ago but had to close it due to a divorce. Let me just say, THERE’S LIFE AFTER DIVORCE! It was one of the hardest times of my life…. but God. I wanted to give up on life so many times but I kept praying and asking God to give me strength for the day, one day at a time. Today I can say, He has restored my joy & peace and I’m excited about life. I have an awesome support team of family & friends that encourage me to keep moving forward and don’t look back. My parents, sister, and my three beautiful children (Jazleigh, Reggie Jr., & Vincent II) are always there for me. My divorce was final in Dec. of 2019 and that’s when I started working toward my dream again. In 2020 I established UR Special Day.
Great, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
It hasn’t been a smooth road. I’ve constantly learning and taking classes to educate myself about owning a business and learning new things. The biggest challenge for me has been building a client base. However, I know my company will continue to grow and I’ll be able to produce jobs for others.
UR Special Day – what should we know? What do you guys do best? What sets you apart from the competition?
UR Special Day is a decorating firm that specialize in event decorating and gift giving. Our vision is to share the gift of love through celebrations. Every customer is VIP. I’m an Accredited Event Designer & your personal shopper. Who doesn’t love to shop! I spend a lot of time with my customers in order to tailor the event to their personality and style. My designs and center pieces are custom made. No two events are the same. If I’m creating a custom keepsake gift basket, I add an extra touch of inspiration. It could be in the form of a note, inspiration paper weight, etc. They are called keepsake baskets because the container is something you can use that’s aligned with the gift idea. I’m most proud that my company is birthed out of my God given talents and gifts. I get excited about every event and every basket.
Is there a characteristic or quality that you feel is essential to success?
My faith and positive outlook on life. I truly believe, even with the disappointments I’ve had in life, that Love is the key in solving any problem.
