Hey everybody!
As I mentioned a couple of weeks ago, a 2014 recap:
January and February were months of transitioning and growth for me. They were all about transitioning from splitting my time between college and business to utilizing all of my time into my business, Purple Butterfly Publications. Time is a gift that is shared with others. I have learned that fact during my transitioning time. I found that I can not control everything, but I am firm in my belief that God is in full control of all things.
I am going to call March 2014 “Milestone March”. With a desire to be more involved in my community and to learn from other local business owners, I joined the Toccoa-Stephens County Chamber of Commerce as a business owner of Purple Butterfly Pages. Joining the Chamber of Commerce had been a professional goal of mine since 2010. Check mark: Goal reached!
In April, I was blessed to be able to be a sponsor of the Power House for Kids 3rd Annual Race. The race raised funds and awareness for the child advocacy center which serves families in Habersham, Rabun, and Stephens counties in northeast Georgia. Child abuse in your community affects you whether you know it or not. Please be informed on how you can help YOUR community in the fight against child abuse today.
May was the actual race day. I had an absolute blast joining over 100 runners for the 5K run in support of the Power House for Kids! A race with perfect weather, a serene location, and an organized coordination, all led to bounding success! My personal goal was to FINISH the race no matter how long it took me. I finished in roughly thirty-seven minutes and without injury. Yeah! Next year, Purple Butterfly Pages will have a FULL TEAM participating in the 4th annual Power House for Kids Race!
June has found me counting the many blessings the year has brought me so far (including another birthday).
hello 23!
I promise to not wait so long in the month to post July’s blog, but just in case…..
I hope you all have a very happy Independence Day on July 4!!! Celebrate the freedom to read whatever you want!
