    Positive Change From a Lay Off

    April 8, 2015 - By 

    I want to take a moment to introduce you all to someone very special to me. This person is my dear friend and coach, Erin. I’m going to tell you all a short story about Erin and her amazing journey and bravery.   For the past 8.5 years Erin has been working at a corporate job. She has been working 40 hours a week doing a job that she has been miserable doing for the past 8.5 years. She has been going to work everyday, sitting in front of her computer, building someone else’s business and hoping that she gets…

    Half Marathon – Another Goal Reached

    March 30, 2015 - By

I finished my first half marathon and I’m actually pleasantly pleased with my time. I’ve been a casual runner for 3 years now. I went from absolutely hating running.

    Persil ProClean New to the United States

    March 18, 2015 - By 

      The Persil® brand provided me with a sample of Persil® ProCleanTM laundry detergent in exchange for a product review.  However, all the opinions expressed here are my own. I stepped out of my comfort zone to do this review for you all. I’ve been using the same laundry detergent for years and I’ve been very happy with it. It’s inexpensive and easy on my sons sensitive skin. I’ve been sent a package of assorted detergent by the brand Persil. I’ve never heard of this brand so I’ll be honest, I was a little nervous about trying something new, even…
