How do you like my new headshot? Behind that smile is so much gratitude for my little business and for you, my customer. Thank you for trusting me and believing in me. I promise to continue to strive to be the most knowledgeable and responsive rep in the business!
Behind that smile is also a lot of stress regarding how to keep growing and operating at a high level. Prioritizing family, work, volunteering, and friendships can be tricky. The good thing about being a solopreneur is that it is all up to me. The bad thing is it is all up to me!
For this issue I picked a few of the most popular products from my manufacturers to highlight so you will be up to date on the latest. Please reach out if you want samples or need to know more.

Book Rec: Building a Non-Anxious Life | |
|
I don't consider myself to be an anxious person. Sometimes, however, it seems that information is coming at me faster than I can process it. I often have multiple screens going at one time. Between work emails, group texts, social media posts, etc. it can be overwhelming. The one thing I took away from this book is that our body sends signals telling us when enough is enough - kind of like a fire alarm. We should listen to those signals.
Dr. Delony gives six daily choice you need to make to build a non-anxious life. Choose reality, connection, freedom, healthier and healing, mindfulness and belief.

Cheering for my Cheerleader | |
|
Many of you know that my daughter, Lucy, is a competitive cheerleader. We spend most weekends in the Spring cheering for her and her team. Next up is Atlanta, Dallas, then Orlando. She is learning so many important life lessons like perseverance, getting along with others, and discipline. The memories we are making bring us closer together, and there is nothing I would rather do than spend a weekend road-tripping with my girl, blasting Taylor Swift!
