Interview: Katie Carter - Yoga Teacher, Community Builder
By Shawn Tuttle

Putting a puzzle together can be a very satisfying experience. You recognize some shape or color on a piece and know what area of the puzzle it belongs to. As the pieces click together, a cohesive image slowly appears, encouraging you to continue and connect the surrounding parts.
The image on the box cover guides you in the same way that an inspirational vision drives the entrepreneur. However, the pieces of her vision are dynamic, and tend to morph as she and her business grow.
