It was three years ago this month that I shook things up and launched a business. This dream was born in me long before that, though. When I was a little girl, I played bakery at my Grandmom’s house. I called myself “Betty Crocker” as I baked cakes and decorated them with fake flowers I found around the house. That wasn’t enough for me, because I also pretended to run the bakery.

I thought I was going to be a nurse from a young age, when I was a little middle schooler and someone asked me about a dream career. But really nursing wasn’t a dream, it was a plan to benefit me toward my dream of motherhood. To be honest, I didn’t have a career dream or even a vision of what loving my work could look like.   Y’all, the Lord’s plans for us are so much bigger than...
