xo, angel and brian

Angel and Brian Holmes’ meeting was Sipindipity. After running into each other unexpectedly at a restaurant the two never frequented, while neither was looking for a relationship, and bonding over tater tots, it was clear something was special. They decided to go out but wanted to keep it casual. But God had different plans. A serious bike accident a month later had Angel in a place she had never been—hospital bound, with some painful surgery in her future and without insurance or the ability to move across the country—something she had been planning for over a year. Brian stepped up to the plate and took care of her around-the-clock. It was a love story straight out of the movies…but that's not where it ends.

They quickly fell in love, married, and decided to take a deep look at their lives and what they wanted to do with it. And even though it's a journey and not a sprint, the two are now working together to change lives. Long-term, they'll be based in a tropical paradise location, and today they are focused on building a life that helps others by providing amazing resources and opportunities for people like you. We welcome you to the journey and hope to connect with you soon!

our story

God has blessed us again with a new business offering that has become super exciting and fun to work on. The Brighter Side Society is an exclusive community for heart-centered female entrepreneurs and ambitious women in business who believe in doing good while doing well. 

The Brighter Side Society

Looking for a cheap date you can do together? Snag a puzzle. There's a design style for everyone and you can do easy or difficult ones. It's a great way to hang out and do something fun together. We prefer 1000 pieces and have found some friends who also love puzzles and trade with us after we finish them (reuse and recycle at its best!)

Puzzles

We never thought we would love baseball as much as we do. But once Chase started playing a year or so ago and got into it, we began to understand why the sport is so fun to watch. We love our baseball family and love watching him get better and try more positions each season.

We have been on a music kick and hope to continue the trend. We've been lucky to see several of our favorite artists this year including Beyonce and Gov't Mule! We went to Bourbon & Beyond and got to see soooooo many greats--everyone from Wayne Newton, to Duran Duran and Blonde, to the Killers, Billy Strings, Ryan Bingham, and the Avett Bros. Cannot wait for the next one!
