You have a very big purpose! Your story is so important! It took a very dark place in my own life to realize that living inside of my comfort zone was keeping me from finding the beautiful purpose, treasure, and healing in my life where miracles were waiting. I look forward to sharing some of those personal “Bain There Done That” stories, adventures, and blogs with you! I hope these stories will encourage and strengthen you to step outside of your comfort zone, finding freedom, healing, and miracles in your own story! You may even discover a renewed purpose in life! It is time to step outside of the box where the miracles and treasures are waiting! Let’s go!
