“What is your SPARKLE? It’s your spunk, your confidence, that thing that is uniquely yours. We all have a light within us, your light ought to be so bright that you SPARKLE!”
Inspired by Matthew 5:16
“We need time to be together and share; some special time to get away.”
“Gail’s presentation was so refreshing and so encouraging….”
“Come to get rejuvenated!”
“The balance of education and fun was perfect!”
