Being bold takes a large amount of courage and bravery, which can come as a challenge to many in my generation. Personally, it is a huge trait I feel I am struggling with, however, I recently overcame this by creating my small business. I have always been a crafter at heart, and always have some sort of project going on. These products have made me a small amount of money through sales with family and friends, but I wanted to sell on a bigger platform, and that's when my small business, Jena's Craft Co was born.

My rescue mutt's name is Nikita, and her story is extremely unique. My family had been on the search for a dog for years, however we hadn't found our match. We then found Nikita, she stuck out in the midst of the chaos in the shelter. While filling out the paperwork to bring her home, someone approached us asking if we were adopting her, she was upset because Nikita was going to be put down that afternoon. Since we adopted her she has been the sweetest dog, and we are grateful we were able to give her a second chance.
