Redeeming Restoration is a full service Emergency Response, Mitigation, and Restoration company. The business was created when Sheri began to realize exactly what had been making her horribly ill for seven years...Read More »

Fabulous Female Entrepreneurs – Val Cook – Journey to Your Dreams
September 5, 2014
I met Val Cook at an event of Laura Ponticello''s, for Laura's List: Books for Women. Val and her writing partner, *Dr. Jill Little, had just released their book, Sharing the Medicine of Love - a non-fiction paperback about celebrating the many stages, struggles and successes in life, and the connections to spirit in everyday life.

Fabulous Female Entrepreneurs – Sandra Gardener – The Visible Company
May 30, 2014
I first met Sandra at a Women TIES event. I instantly connected with her quiet and relaxed nature; however, I sensed that there was something about her I couldn't put my finger on. There was a spark there I couldn't quite articulate... After seeing her again and chatting with her a few times online, I figured it out: it was the musician in her. I had initially met the business woman, the website designer, the visually creative person - but I felt something else there, and that something was the love of music. Just like you can sense and "click …Read More »
