Happy 33rd Anniversary

🎉 Happy Anniversary to Me! 🎉

Today marks 33 years since I made one of the biggest decisions of my life—to become a Work-At-Home Mom and launch my web design, graphic design, branding, and marketing company.

What started as a leap of faith at my kitchen table has grown into a 33-year entrepreneurial journey filled with incredible opportunities, amazing people, lifelong friendships, and countless blessings from God.

Over these 33 years, I’ve had the privilege of serving thousands of clients, building multiple six-figure businesses, and operating almost entirely on referrals. That alone is a testimony to the power of relationships, integrity, and consistently serving others well.

Along the way…

➡️ At just 19 years old, I owned a custom blinds company, became the #1 salesperson, and earned an all-expense-paid trip to the Bahamas—my first taste of what was possible through hard work, persistence, and serving customers well.

➡️ I began my direct sales journey in my early 20s with Tupperware (yes, I earned the van! 😄).

➡️ I became a top leader in a health and wellness company in my later 20s.

➡️ I spent many years as one of the Top 20 leaders and a corporate trainer with a greeting card and relationship marketing company.

➡️ I had the honor of working alongside industry leaders, helping build online systems, coaching entrepreneurs, and supporting events that featured some of the greatest personal development speakers in the world, including Zig Ziglar.

➡️ I built a speaking and training career that has now spanned more than 25 years, speaking to audiences around the country and around the world.

➡️ I became a bestselling author, co-author, and contributor to multiple bestselling books, with another project on the horizon.

➡️ I founded and led successful networking organizations, trained hundreds of thousands of entrepreneurs, and helped business owners grow through marketing, branding, relationship building, and leadership development.

➡️ Today, I continue to coach, train, mentor, and lead teams internationally while helping people discover natural, non-invasive wellness solutions and build businesses that create both income and impact.

And the learning never stops…

📚 For more than 30 years, I’ve averaged reading approximately a book a week on business, leadership, marketing, personal development, faith, and health.

🎓 I’ve invested in countless courses, certifications, conferences, and training programs to continually grow both personally and professionally.

📖 And now, at a stage when many people are slowing down, I’m going back to school to earn my Doctorate in Naturopathy because I believe God is still writing new chapters.

But perhaps the greatest lessons weren’t learned in business.

Thirteen years ago, my world changed forever when I unexpectedly lost my husband, Bryan. Suddenly, I found myself navigating unimaginable grief while raising our four children and trying to keep moving forward.

There were days when simply getting out of bed required faith.

There were moments when I didn’t know what the future would hold.

Yet even in the darkest seasons, God never left my side.

He carried me when I couldn’t carry myself.

He provided when I couldn’t see a way.

He healed what I thought would always be broken.

And in His perfect timing, He brought unexpected blessings, restoration, and a second chance at love when I married my wonderful husband, Kevin.

What once felt like the end of my story became the beginning of a beautiful new chapter.

That journey taught me that resilience isn’t about being strong enough—it’s about trusting God enough.

The journey hasn’t always been easy.

There have been victories and setbacks.
Mountaintops and valleys.
Joy and heartbreak.
Loss and restoration.

But through it all, God has remained faithful.

Every client.
Every stage.
Every book.
Every business.
Every opportunity.
Every blessing.
Every lesson.

None of it would have been possible without Him.

If there’s one thing I’ve learned over the last 33 years, it’s this:

👉 Never stop learning.
👉 Never stop growing.
👉 Never stop serving.
👉 Never stop believing.
👉 Never stop trusting God’s timing.
👉 And never underestimate what God can do with a willing heart and a step of faith.

Here’s to 33 years of entrepreneurship, leadership, service, resilience, faith, and impact—and to whatever God has planned for the next chapter.

Thank you to every client, team member, student, coaching client, speaking event organizer, business partner, friend, and family member who has been part of this incredible journey. You have blessed my life more than you’ll ever know.

And most of all, thank You, Lord, for every open door, every closed door, every lesson, every blessing, and every opportunity to serve.

❤️ All Glory to God! ❤️

“It is in your moments of decision that your destiny is shaped.”

Thinking and meditating, more and more lately on my life, situations and things that have happened, where I am at, where I am going……make decisions, pray, ask for guidance, seek counsel, and don’t be afraid to take that step!


My life has changed in SO many ways the last several years – some bad, some good, some great! Some because of things that have happened to me…….Some because of things that I made a choice on….Some because of things I am setting in plan for my future….


I was talking w someone the other day, and I just said, “I pretty much just LOVE my LIFE”


How many people can say that?How many people want to say that?
Are you making decisions in your life TODAY, that might allow you to be able to say that in the future?


Like they say, if you keep doing the same things, you have always done, you will keep getting the same things you have always got…..
Do you want to be normal?

Do you want just what is there for you?

Or do you want ALL that God has for you?

Are you working, praying, reaching for those stars?


Even if you fail *some*……landing somewhere in the skies and heaven – might not be such a bad thing 🙂


What is your DESTINY?
What is your DECISION today, that will effect your FUTURE tomorrow?

Not every mountain is worth the climb……

Define what is meaningful to YOU. Just because one coach or trainer says work 24/7 like no one else does so you can play like n one else does later…..doesn’t mean you have to, or that you are not giving it your all if you don’t.


What is meaningful to YOU?For me, my FAMILY has been #1 all my life.I started my journey back becoming self employed in 1993 when I was pregnant w our 2nd child……


Things have been rough, I have had some $10 months, some $100 some $100 months, some $10000 months (and many other numbers over the years……


But my FOCUS was and still is my FAMILY.


If you work so much that you neglect your family, you may be successful one day, but lose your family in the process…..then is that worth it?


I have heard many trainers say “treat your business like a business not a hobby” but in that some also say, if you are not working it 10-20 hours a day you are treating it like a hobby and not serious.


That is their opinion, and I disagree. This world and this life is about relationships…..Even if you are not married and don’t have kids, you still have other relationships in your life.


But everyone is different – you need to figure out what is important to you – and then yes, figure your schedule and WORK when you are working time on your schedule…..


Be PRESENT with your FAMILY and other RELATIONSHIPS when it is that time….


I have not always been perfect, and I have a workaholic mindset…..but I watch myself, and I have learned to schedule myself…..still a work in progress…..every day.


But I work consistently and productively when I am scheduled to work. that is the difference, and one of the big secrets to my success 🙂 <3
