ways in which to create unique and creative shopping experiences for her customers that will provide an additional wow factor. We’re just about to wrap up the interview when I thank Kelly for her generous time and hospitality. She gives me a big hug (“because I am a hugger” she says with a smile) and gives me a list of names, ideas, and thoughts to help with some of my own interests that we had discussed. I realize in that moment that behind her Southern accent and joyful spirit, Kelly is above all a witty, smart, and creative businesswoman who is happy to share. Her bright and colorful stores are indeed an extension of her brain and her heart. It’s evident that she sees both her past and current life as an extension of helping people. If I were to guess, however, I’m sure she’s had much more fun dispensing colorful jewelry than pills!
