Attitudes shift as life twists and tests in a million different, wild & wonderful ways. Since 2010, we have had to re-shape family priorities, faith and bonds. Unexpected favor shows up in our minimizing. Simplifying allows pursuit of greater passions with less distraction. Joy runs deeper & hearts are more tender. We savor daily miracles & hilarious moments. We are closer to one another and to God, beyond mundane ritual and routine. Giving tastes sweeter, when you do not really have the means to give. Adversity, thankfully, reveals genuine gratitudes and real relationships.
Being a mom changes your heart forever. Dylan turned 25 last year. He is kind, out-going, funny. God has prepared great things for him. Samantha is a Senior. A brilliant artist and writer, loyal friend, an amazing poet laureate and pseudo psychologist. Madeline is 15. A true cowgirl, vegetarian, super talented and an outgoing, compassionate friend to everyone. My kids are a phenomena to me. It blows me away that I did not know how much my heart would change, expand or break - good thing!
personal note:
I have enjoyed incredible successes in my career and learned very humbling, shocking lessons. The platform God provided to grow me, bless me and break me has been crazy wonderful.
My family joys, triumphs, celebrations, great grief and losses have shaped my heart.
The next best days of our careers are happening and as we re-build our fortune and live boldly, I am more in love with my life and family, than ever! XO, cat
Hope lies in our Entrepreneurial Victories and Divine Interventions. I encourage you to believe in the potential for serendipitous opportunities.
After 21 years, as income-earner in my household, in 2014, I chose to take a more active role at home, and allow myself time and space to think.
I am focused on truly waiting. There are invitations, from beautiful people, in amazing companies, all of the time. I am awed by the opportunities that surround us. I am blessed by relationships that motivate me, daily.
May 1993, I was a single mom with very few possibilities. As a young woman, with a deep desire to do better, the opportunity that showed up, changed me forever.
I attached to a company and a very clear mission: "Circulate finances to make life better for so many, by empowering women to huge success with a healthy skin care business."
The impact of this simple dream, as a great catalyst for selfless deeds and mindful service, has impacted millions of people and will live on for generations. It taught me the vital importance of a powerful purpose. To have true and joyful success - We need a purpose that lives outside of us and serves others in a powerful way.
In that, my association with Beautycounter simply makes sense. I am only a messenger, user, gatherer...

Randy's Real Estate Business is great! We are super blessed by a dynamic company & managing broker, plus an incredible mentor. Randy began this venture in April 2014 and just passed $10,000,000 in transactions. That translates into so many families finding home, and I know my husband has loved and served well. Randy's tremendous work ethic, calm personality, servant's heart and analytical mind are the perfect combination for being a great help in the home-buying process. After being a stay-at-home dad for 16 years, I am unbelievably proud and inspired by my best friend, every single day.... Read his bio.
I love being married.I waited a long time for a guy who allows me to be ME. I am the loudest girl in the room (according to him) while he quietly observes and takes it all in. Do not get it twisted though… quiet rivers run deep. His passion for our family and life dreams keeps me on my toes. And, I keep him present, in the adventure. While we are polar opposites, we share the same beliefs, values and drive for dreaming big and working hard.
