Rescued Is My Love Language


I appreciate being an Event Manager with Amazing Dogs Rescue and helping Rescue Dogs shift from survival to find their safe Furrever homes, thankful for all the love and support. I love fostering, boarding and doing what's possible ❤️ 

I am also thankful to be a part of Delta View Cats supporting abandoned kitties around Pittsburg, being a part of a community that cares. For us that includes our own colony that came with our home 🏡 

I appreciate my PT gig with Logiciel Inc a small but mighty tech company supporting B2B and Newbies with ease, including an app, whattt

I love that in December I'll be with Young Living for 10 years about 20 since I was gifted my first bottle and 9 when I became a Brand partner. I incorporate YL still in much of our life 🎊 And can talk your ear off about it, if you ask 😀

I love the home's we care for (cleaning, maintenance, organization, doing lil extras as needed) in appreciation for what's needed and budgeted too. Every bit adds up, 1 piece/room at a time.

I appreciate the struggle and journey for my passion of Oils, wrapping Crystal Pendants, repurposing or recreating and reselling secondhand items, appreciating fellow Crafters, Creator's, Rtist's like me, just outside the box 😉 Including opening up Rtist's We R shop in Old Town Pittsburg for 14 month's 😘

Why am I saying this?  

Today marks 7 years since my 18.5 year career ended, I appreciate all the lessons and blessings along the way. I was devastated, lost and confused 🤔 on the ride home that day. My Faith was wavering, I went from Dreaming Big building my Dream to What the Fluff am I going to do now. I received a message about a dog we knew needing rehome, now. 😢 And I came home to get King, now Zen, the Rescue who rescued me.

That summer 2018, I started Dreaming big and full out, opening my own Rescue, Building multiple income streams while serving others, finding & doing more and more of what I love, spending more time with Jazz and Tam, fam too, being more loving, kind, present, finding more inner peace, calm, community, connections and so much more.

I'm saying all this to say, I am, We are doing it. See above for reference, it's all part of the Dream. I didn't know how, we didn't know and still don't know how on some things and I've gained so much more than. 💜 The struggle was real it broke me and us so many times over the last 7 years especially. And it was me, I struggled with myself. Believing in me, loving me, honoring me, my thoughts, feelings, emotions, actions, reactions all of it along the way. Before this journey I believed in everyone but me, pushing everyone else to their best(sometimes not so gracefully), while sometimes forgetting about me. Placing others first and running from me 😳

Thank Goodness, it's me 😀😎😳 That's the only thing I can change, me 💜 More on the journey from there til now, coming soon.

Thank you for your patience this year especially 🙏 Closing the Physical shop took a toll on me, Mind, Body and Spirit. I'm thankful I took a step back before moving forward. 

Life's a Cha cha, knowing when to dance or sit it out is up to me to figure out 💜

Btw, if you'd love to check out some of the things I'm up to the links are in the pdf. Message me with any questions. Thank you for sharing this journey with me 💜🙏🏊‍♂️🐕🎊😎



Wow, many lifetimes lived for me in the last 33 years...Thankful for my journey to here...

In the journey towards achieving our goals, be it in business, personal aspirations, or health-related objectives, the path is often fraught with challenges that can leave us feeling stuck or overwhelmed. It's essential to recognize these difficult moments not as endpoints but as integral parts of the journey toward success. By embracing resilience, we learn that setbacks are not failures but opportunities for growth, teaching us persistence and the capacity to overcome.

Incorporating wellness practices, such as the use of essential oils, can play a significant role in enhancing emotional well-being during challenging times. Diffusing uplifting scents like lemon, orange, or peppermint can help create a positive atmosphere, while lavender or chamomile can support restorative rest, maintaining balance and strength amidst adversity. This approach underscores the importance of self-care in bolstering resilience and maintaining a positive outlook.

The process of striving towards our goals also teaches us the value of celebrating every small victory and finding lessons in setbacks. Reminding ourselves of the initial motivations behind our goals can reignite our drive and focus, helping us to appreciate the journey as much as the destination. Every challenge faced and overcome enriches us with wisdom and experience, making the journey toward achieving our dreams a fulfilling and transformative experience.

Unlocking Self-Love: Tips to Build Inner Confidence and Achieve Business Success as a Parent


As a busy working mom, it can be tough to balance the demands of building a business while also taking care of yourself. Self-care is crucial, especially as we get older and our bodies and minds require more attention. So, how can you learn to love yourself while building a business or just living these days? 

Here are some tips:

1. Set achievable goals: It's easy to get overwhelmed when trying to build a business or run a household. Setting small and achievable goals can not only give you a sense of accomplishment but it can also help you avoid burnout. Make sure to celebrate each goal achieved, no matter how small.

2. Prioritize self-care: When building a business & life too, it's easy to neglect self-care. Remember, taking care of yourself is not only good for your health but it can also help you become more productive and motivated. Whether it's taking a bubble bath, going for a walk, or reading a book for half an hour, make sure you prioritize your self-care routine.

3. Surround yourself with positivity: Surrounding yourself with positive people who uplift you can make a world of difference when it comes to building your business and loving yourself. Join support groups, engage with like minded people, and take advantage of the resources available to you from your business community.

4. Use essential oils: Essential oils can have a powerful influence on our emotions and can help us manage stress and emotions. Young Living has many blends specifically designed to help with these issues. Using essential oils as part of your daily routine can help you feel more relaxed, focused, and uplifted.

5. Believe in yourself: Self-doubt can be a major obstacle when building a business, but it's important to remember that every successful business owner started somewhere. Believe in yourself and your abilities, and trust that you can achieve your goals!

Remember, building a business is not easy, but it is possible to build a successful business while also loving and taking care of yourself. Prioritize your self-care, surround yourself with positivity, use essential oils, and believe in yourself!
