Item Special Note

Inspiration for Your Journey Starts Here: Life is a constant movement. With every second passing there is always something shifting and creating movement. Every moment is different somehow and it is impossible to repeat the same ting twice in life unless you can reverse time to the moment in which something occurred. With everything you do in life you must think of how you want that moment to be for you. Your free will gives you the chance to make that choice. This is your one life to live from being born to the moment you are no longer alive. What direction will you take? Your journey starts here…

Inspiration for Inspire the Journey: Children are so pure and learn from their experiences. Children grow physically, mentally, and emotionally at a rapid rate in comparison to adulthood. Beth Ann appreciates children for how they are. She is inspired by them. Beth Ann has the fortunate opportunity to have her own children and work with them daily. She strives to motivate them to care about themselves, what they can do for others, and accomplish great things in life. Beth Ann hopes to give them all the best out of life. The best she can give is her love.

 

Beth Ann also had the opportunity to teach art to students in their early teens. She thinks of how she can make a difference in their lives daily. Sometimes she takes moments out of the scheduled school day to just listen to their thoughts, ideas, achievements, and frustrations. Beth Ann hopes to give them the opportunity to grow and change for the quality of themselves and for the future adult they will become. She is very thankful to have a hand in inspiring young minds for our future generation.
