Vision Board: Ask, Believe, Receive

Like many of you, I am reflecting on this year right now and thinking about what I hope for the new year. I've been thinking a lot about my vision board and how helpful it's been. This was the first year I created a vision board. I'm glad I did. I got to see where my head was at at the…

I really wanted a glitter blue polish but the technician was really trying to steer me away from it. I think she thought I would hate it and she would have to redo it. She m…

The Passion Test

A couple of weeks ago, I received a complimentary ticket to The Passion Test with Janet Attwood via Inspiring Social Media. It was right up my alley and I am so grateful for having had this experience. I have so many ideas, plans, wants, and desires floating around in my head. It's hard to foc…
