The Holy Mother-preneur of the Week! | The Willow Boutique & Salon

This contest has turned into something WAY beyond what I envisioned and I'm SO thankful for that!! I'm so thankful that I can dream big and make even bigger things happen!! You can too ladies! You just gotta start and try and the BAM!!! That's how ALLLLL this got started in the first place! I prayed and asked God what he wanted me to do. He showed me the way! And I'm following him! It sounds simple and I know our brains can make things WAY more difficult than they are worth! But I would like to encourage you to ask God, "What are my God-given talents? What do you want me to be doing, Lord?" The answers may come fast than you were prepared for!!!

Today we are starting our Holy Motha Giveaway!! I will be featuring a Holy Mother-preneur of the week and the gifts we have up for grabs! Each winner will receive a copy of my e-cookbook, Thirty Nights of No Thinking, Just Healthy Eating, Four Grocery Lists and the Meal Plans too!!
