Where Will You Find Your Inspiration?

Here begins my journey: juggling children, business, physical health, and spiritual wellness; searching for inspiration along the way, and sharing it with others.

Looking to my friends and family for guidance and advice, I eventually found my inspiration to take the necessary leap of faith.
