QUOTE OF THE WEEK - “Motivation is what gets you started. Habit is what keeps you going.” -John Rohn

Sorry ladies that it took me soo long to get it together.. Its been a crazy week/weekend. Here is to a better week for all of us. I would like for us to send prayers out to a little boy in my community who passed away today. He was only 7 years old, and he had been battling cancer for a while. Keep his family and friends in your thoughts in prayers. With that said, try to always remember, even when we are having a bad day, its not where as bad as it could be. I cant even imagine how it is like being a parent going through that. Makes me more grateful for my life.

Have a great week everyone.

Until next week.
