Hello, everyone! My name is Donna White and my husband and I have been wanting to get into REI for quite some time. I have been a dental assistant for almost 20 years and have loved it until my bout with severe plantar fasciitis, then was diagnosed with osteo-arthritis, at which time I freaked out worrying how to help support our family. My hubby is a letter carrier and 4 years away from retirement, (yay-passive income, finally!) We finally decided to jump right in with both feet, and here we are. I have to say even though we are doing this only part time and are so worn out at the end of the day after being at our job and trying to get this off the ground, I find it hard to sleep because we are so excited about where this will take us! Thank you for welcoming me into your fold, and in the very near future I foresee us doing the same thing for other newbies, and offering advice on how we keep a thriving business alive and growing!
