Our Story

When you receive something good, you want to share it with others. After years of study, growth and transformation, we decided it was time to pay it forward…

“When there is light in the soul,

there is beauty in the person.

When there is beauty in the person,

there is harmony in the home.

When there is harmony in the home,

there is honor in the nation.

When there is honor in the nation,

there is peace in the world.”

—Chinese Proverb
