from the girl who said she’d never do the young living business…
This is my third attempt at network marketing… did you know that? I ran with two other companies with this business style. The first was horrible. I hated it and was happy when I was out. The second I still share and stand behind but it’s not something I do full-on anymore. But this one […]

intentions for autumn – 2023
Alabama doesn’t have the gradual transition into Fall as other states do. Ours can be abrupt and I can find myself impatient while I wait for it to feel like Autumn.
