jggreenthinking-jenniferNext time you go to the Saco Market in Biddeford, make sure you experience the therapeutic scents from Green Thinking.

I met Jennifer Greiner at the market when I overheard someone asking her about her ‘Grounded’ and ‘Happiness’ rollers and I went over to investigate. She invited me to try out some of the samples, and I had a hard time picking out a favorite. She suggested I put it on and wait a little while, sort of sit with it, until I was sure. This was a great strategy. Keep reading

The BRAVE Interview #6 January 2017: Linda Buoncuore

Hello! Here is The BRAVE Interview for this month. ENJOY!

lindaI guess it’s not the biggest thing anyone has ever done, and of course many have already done it, I am sure.  I am an introvert in many ways. Going to work everyday in sales is a challenge for me, as many people are not very nice, as this society has changed so much. I brave going to work everyday, and holding my composure to many that think that the world revolves only around them.

Welcome to Interview #4 with Kristen Conley Leighton!

  1. WHO are you? Share whatever you want to about yourself personally.

Wow, so we’re starting with the hardest question!  Most days, I’m not really sure.   That statement can be traced back to the day I was born.  See, I was switched at birth.  Truly.  I was somehow confused with another baby girl born at almost the exact same time.  The next morning, a nurse arrived in my mother’s room with the wrong bundle. “That’s not my baby,” my mother said to her.  “Go back and try again.”    Keep reading
