I received an email from an old friend with a link to a podcast that’s a must listen! Melody Ross is an icon in the scrapbook industry. I first learned about Chatterbox when we opened Scrappy’s in 1998. At that time, she had two little books of sayings for journaling and 3 journaling templates. All of the Chatterbox product that we bought for our grand opening sold out our first day of business in that 150 sq ft retail space.

Melody is gorgeous, one of those people that you wonder about…wonder ‘what it’s like to be her’ kind of thoughts. I’ve always had so much respect the impact she’s made in the industry and how nice of a person she is and what an awesome mother all while having a super cool air about her.

Well, she’s been through some struggles and changes and is coming out on the other side of her journey. This is a long and amazing listen. But it comes with a WARNING! Listen when you have plenty of time to dedicate your mind to it. It’s very compelling and you will want to really pay attention. And this warning comes from first hand experience. I started listening this morning and proceeded to burn the kids’ cinnamon toast and the last 6 pieces of bread in the house. Then I started again after 1 pm and Gracie flooded the bathroom by sitting on the counter and turning the water on with the drain closed. So seriously, when you start listening, you won’t want to stop.

Here’s the link to the podcast.

Enjoy!
