Her business is called A Rose in the Road.  Originally a greeting card company, it was named because she believes that sometimes life is a difficult journey, and it is good to find a “rose” on the road of life. That rose can take many forms, but most often is a person who lifts our spirits, tends to our soul, or is the truest friend we could ever hope for.  Her original business name was Pieces of Dreams and that was her designer/dressmaker business, mostly bridal and formal wear.  She still alters clothes, but she prefers to help people alter their lives, and imagine their dreams into reality.

Her website is www.aroseintheroad.com
