A journey in joyful living

 
I'm a mom of eight, with #9 on the way, living life with intention. Control of my time is more important to me than getting a dollar through punching a time clock because it allows me to spend time on the important things like my church, building a strong community, and guiding my children. Every Sunday, we have as many as 30 people join us for dinner and fellowship - and I love every minute of it. I have an amazing life. 

But it takes work and intention to have this life - it means eating real foods, and using supplements and home care products that support our bodies in good health. It means managing sleep, stress, and good mental health practices. It means watching what we keep around our personal space. Let me help you get a life you love too - let's look together at what your daily activities look like and what you need to embrace - or let go - to reset and renew your love-affair with the life you live; let's form a friendship that encourages you and nurtures your spirit.
