Values
I was at a conference last weekend where one of the speakers asked us what our values were? What do we want them to be? immediately I had my husband forward me my typed out framed family values we have on our front table and I started thinking about my personal list in my journal [...]
A Moment In Time
I love when people ask me what I do. It pulls back the curtain for an incredible story to be shared. I have a very unique profession. At some point in their life, every girl dreams of becoming what I profess as my vocation. Before I go into that, let me start from the very [...]
