I'm pretty much the worst about talking to people about my business. I'm always scared to bring it up or worried that they won't like it. Not because I've had a bad experience, just because I've always been a shy person. But you seem so outgoing and fun! Nope, I'm the most shy, introverted person you'll ever meet. So I've made it my mission to start being better about telling people what I do and why I do it. Starting with business cards. It's SO EASY to leave a business card for my waitress or hand one to a stranger in line at the grocery store that I overhear talking about pictures, feeling run down and needing to do something for themselves, or even just seeing an engagement ring and throwing a bridal boudoir card at her. Baby steps. I'm working my way to being that fun outgoing person that everyone knows because I truly want to be her.

I've always loved reading - for myself. I refused to read a book if someone told me to or a teacher made me, but for myself, I would pick up any book and just get lost. I have a giant closet FULL of unread books and it is my goal to read them faster than I buy them so that my closet becomes empty and they all move to shelves where they deserve to live with the rest of my already read books.
