Inspired: Maggie Bratcher & Elaine Richie

You have been with me since day one. I have always been inspired by your entrepreneurial spirit and creative talents. There are no limits to your kindness and generosity towards others. Growing up, I watched you help people in need and care for all animals. You have a “can do” attitude towards everything you put your mind to. Nothing can stop you from achieving your dreams. Success has followed you throughout all of your business endeavors. There are no limits to your creativity.

Your hard work and dedication have not gone unnoticed. Your inspiration and reassurance gave me the courage to open up my own online business 18 years ago. This allowed me to work from home and raise my girls during the most precious time of their lives. For that I can’t thank you enough. You have always inspired me to “take a leap of faith” because you know the blessings that wait on the other side. 

I have also watched you over the last 40 years make your health and fitness a priority in your life. As a little girl, I remember sitting in the aerobics room at the YMCA eating my ice cream sundae while watching you work out. With you as my role model I have also lived a healthy and active life and feel amazing every day. My girls are also following in the same footsteps as you because your inspiration is generational. You are an amazing woman and I am honored to call you my best friend, but most importantly Mom.
