When you read those words do you read them in the late David Bowie’s voice? I know I do. How do you feel when you read the word change? I know I’ve been one who doesn’t like change but my life seems to be one of change. Those of you who know me, know that I love dragonflies. The Lord sent a dragonfly to me in a time of great trial in my life. It is said that the dragonfly represents change. How much I did not know the dragonfly would be the perfect “spirit insect” for me if you will. Most of you who had been following my blog know that I’ve put it on the back burner for a while. My last blog post was right before we listed our house for sale. In July 2015 we put the house we had been living for 12 years on the market. This was the house Jon and I moved into shortly after we were married. This was the house we had both of the girls in. We had so many beautiful memories in our house, but it was time that we move on. It was a great house, just not for us anymore. We took a leap of faith and put our house on the market. Within 72 hours we had a contract. There was a neighborhood we were going to build in but the day after the option period ended, our build fell through. Here we were now without a house. We rented an apartment and trusted the Lord would provide something for us. Two weeks after moving into the apartment, we found our perfect house. There was a few bumps but nothing bad and November 1, we moved into our new home. We were finally at peace after a crazy couple of months. Moving was quite the ordeal. We were still in the middle school and there was not a lot of settle time. That was okay though because we were home. Another change that happened shortly after the move was a change in direction of coaching. I loved coaching and I loved entertaining. I wanted to merge the two but soon realized that was not what I was supposed to do. I loved helping women feel better about themselves, but there was something else I felt I was supposed to do. I also felt myself going in a different way with essential oils. I love them and everything about them but my time as an essential oils educator was coming to a close as well. So I sat in limbo for a few months. What was I going to do? I prayed for something to come along. Something that I could call my own and make a car payment. See I’m going to need a new vehicle at some point and I really wanted to have my own business that will pay for it. Enter Agnes & Dora. Selling clothes was the last thing on my radar. I remember saying, “Lord with all of my body issues and the fact I hate pictures, you want me to sell clothes?” He said, “Yes I want you to sell clothes.” I listened and signed to onboard with Agnes & Dora. I had bought a few items and for the first time in a really long time realized I was feeling more confident about myself. When I got my inventory and started selling, I noticed another phenomenon, my friends were also feeling more confident. I’ve been selling Agnes & Dora for 9 months now and it has truly been life changing not only for me, but also for the women who have bought from me. I’m excited about this new journey that I am being taken on. I found my inner sparkle again and so have the women who have purchased Agnes & Dora.

So what does this mean for the blog? Well now that I’m starting up the blog again, it will truly be tidbits of life and not so coaching focused. I may sprinkle in some life coaching applications here and there but it will also be about clothes, homeschooling, food, entertaining, and other tidbits. This is the type of blog I’ve wanted to do for quite sometime. A blog focused on everyday life and content that has something for everyone. My goal is again to do a blog post twice a month as our school schedule had changes too. So as the late David Bowie sang, “Time may change me, but I can’t change time.” I hope you come along side me with these changes and are blessed with my tidbits from Andrea. There’s a sparkle inside you, shine on my friend!
