Hello friends --This is a HUGE week for me.  If you've been following me for awhile, you know I've been on the countdown for my youngest child to go to college.  Well - the time has arrived. 😥  TODAY she turns 18.  Sunday, we drop her off at JMU.  I'll be leaving a big part of my heart in the mountains of Virginia.  I was smart enough to have planned the launch 🚀 of the Patients Getting Paid Membership Community for September 13th - to keep me incredibly busy and distracted. I may not even notice how very empty my nest will have become for quite some time.  Here's hoping.  🤞🏻  Be sure to get on the waiting list so you don't miss the limited time to get in - for the lowest price it will EVER be offered.
