"The Last Shall be First" Glimpse of Love founder La'Tiara Love visited Shantell's Just Until restaurant in Sanford, FL this summer. "The food and atmosphere was amazing." Throughout the restaurant she saw pictures of Bessie Stringfield, the first African American women to ride a motorcycle across the United States. Bessie was also a civilian motorcycle dispatch rider for the United States Army during World War II. Shantell has made it her mission to share her idol Bessie Stringfield story. Shantell Williams is also a motorcyclist who's made history. She also traveled across the United States on a motorcycle, she did it solo and she did it in the record time of 27 days, Shantell's determination compelled Harley Davidson to create the Shantell Williams Mileage Award in her honor. Her story is so inspiring and has touched so many people and organization including Netflix, Her show " Shut up and Ride" is anticipated to come out next year. We are excited to watch her story; a business owner, wife, and mother of 10 who journeys across the united states on her motorcycle for a second time. "Congratulations Shantell we are cheering for you" "So powerful is the light of unity, it can illuminate the earth"

Updated Five years ago we decided to make a total life change and partner with TLC. TLC had some amazing products and they were also giving people business opportunities. I am happy to see that in 2020 More Celebrities have decided to go on the TLC journey also. check out the slide show and see what people are saying about this amazing company. ” "Brown Like the Honey, Like the Deer, Like the Ground" I am just fascinated by all of the beautiful things I've discovered out in nature. I've reached the highest point in Massachusetts and touched the ocean floor in Sliver Sands! On my way to the sugar-loaf; I came across a group of fellow hikers and their dog Ody. We were all amazed by the dynamic trees and foliage around us. I even saw a huge bear paw print, that looked fairly new to me. We didn't encounter any bears that time ,but we did cross paths with a few enthusiastic chipmunks and two deer. There was such an intense feeling of happiness and gratification once we all reached the mountain top! My time at the mountain was only a glimpse of nature's beauty. Walking out into the middle of the ocean was really exciting and intimidating at the same time. I had to race against the rising tide; which was quite the adrenaline rush. Luckily I was able to collect a bunch of little treasures on my way back to shore. Nature's gems are all around us,we just have to be open and receptive of them. "Brown Like the Honey, Like the Deer, Like the Ground" This is a Glimpse of Nature's Beauty! "Look Into My Eyes And Tell Me What You See" "The eyes are the gate keepers to the soul." I really believe that; I think someone can tell you a full story with just a glance. My friend Kaitlyn knows a thing or two about Glamour. She gave me a Glimpse into her new project,and so far it consists of runway shows, photo shoots, a personal stylist, hair and make up team, and non stop traveling. What's most alluring about TCM's Next Top Model is her gentle spirit. The "Beautifully Tempting" model shared a very personal experience with me recently;and her ability to still emote warmth, kindness and charm is what makes her glamorous! She's very angelic,there's so much life in her eyes. This is what you call a Glimpse of Glamour. Kaitlyn also revealed that she loves taking selfies. She says its' the best way to learn your body and explore different looks. Kaitlyn's advice on taking glamorous photos are to find your light ;and make sure you accentuate your eyes. "Beauty and femininity are ageless and can't be contrived, and glamour, although the manufacturers won't like this, cannot be manufactured. Not real glamour; it's based on femininity."- Marilyn Monroe "Look Into My Eyes And Tell Me What You See" "Love Is What Dreams Are Made Of." Glimpse of Love is finally here and I couldn't be happier. I've been talking about having Glimpse of Love Day Spa, and selling natural products for years now. When I graduated from The Isenberg School of Management. I had my degree in one hand and my business plan in the other. I remember my first day at UMASS- Amherst I told my adviser I wanted to be apart of this business school to learn all the necessary business practices for Glimpse of Love. I've spent the past few years traveling and conducting primary research. I had a good time doing it to! :) I've befriend so many people from different walks of life. I have learned so much, and had some unforgettable magical moments. Glimpse of Love exist because of all of the moments I've shared with people that have lasted a lifetime. Glimpse of Love is really a Glimpse of forever. My mom would always say "Do not despise your small beginnings" and it's true a small moment, conversation encounter can live on for a lifetime. Thank you for your Love and Support! Welcome to Glimpse of Love |
