Hey friends, welcome to Girls Night. I'm Stephanie May Wilson and I'm so happy that you're here.

Hey, thank you for having me. For women who haven't gotten to meet you yet, can you tell us who you

are, what you do, and a fun fact about yourself? Yeah, I am a mother of four. I have been writing

for forever when we had blogs. This is when we did something called a blog spot and I'm older than
