“I cannot do all the good that the world needs, but the world needs all the good that I can do”

Jana Stanfield

Being part of the community and serving in many different ways is very important to Rachael.  Part of why she is a small business owner is to not only provide for her family and provide an amazing service for her clients but also to be able to give back to her community.  We have each been given amazing talents and gifts and when you can use them in ways to serve and lift up others, that is where you can find great joy in your life.
