About Myrtle
Myrtle's role as a mother of 4 is fulfilling and challenging at times. Her previous life as an elementary school teacher should have prepared her for motherhood- but God has a great sense of humor! She enjoys learning more about the people around her and encouraging them to be who God has called them to be. Her passions include baking, cooking and connecting with other women. Myrtle is a regular attendee at Carruthers Creek Community Church where God is being revealed to her in a very real way. Myrtle's newest project is Marmee's Circle at http://www.wix.com/ajaxsite/marmees-circle, where she promotes awe-inspiring products made by women.Website: http://myrtlesturtles.blogspot.com/
