Let the decompression begin…
3 days being home and I don’t think it’s completely sunk in. The only thing I can really say to describe what I feel is that I genuinely left a piece of my heart in Honduras. Perhaps as I reflect over my notes and remember my time I will be able to encompass the experienceContinue reading “Let the decompression begin…”

Gifts
Have you ever had a moment when you thought, “geez, I just don’t deserve this” and you didn’t even think it in a negative way…you just simply meant, “how on earth could I possibly be this blessed?”.

Holley writes, “You are the only you we have. That meansContinue reading “Just be YOU!”
Endless Possibilities in the Hands of the Creator…
This past Saturday I had the sheer pleasure of being photographed by Amanda Driver of Driver Photo. Today I’ve looked over those captured moments several times. I’m not vain, trust me..it’s hard for me to look at pictures of myself, but with each glance of the pictures I notice the perfect shading of colors allContinue reading “Endless Possibilities in the Hands of the Creator…”
Sunday Sundaes…Give it a Try!
As parents, we do our best to teach our kids what is right and what is wrong. We’re blessed to be a part of a church family that values teaching us parents how to implement “faith at home” too. In 2010 my family and I had endured some major changes and I wanted desperately toContinue reading “Sunday Sundaes…Give it a Try!”
Business of Confidence Boosting
When I signed my beauty consultant agreement 7 years ago I honestly didn’t think it would become anything other than a way to get the products I wanted at a discount and maybe sell products to a few close friends and family members. I found myself attending my first meeting and when asked to introduceContinue reading “Business of Confidence Boosting”
