The Birth of Many Milestones
After departing from her government position, Talisha came home and started homeschooling their youngest son Jaxon. They had a regular routine with homeschooling as well as Talisha spent the remainder of her day renovating their home room by room, most with her own hands. In July 2023, JB encouraged Talisha, that he felt she needed to start the in-home day care. Talisha was reluctant to do care in their home, as it was her dream to own a stand alone facility. JB repeatedly reminded Talisha that she was gifted to care for children and their were families that needed her kind of care. In that moment it became important to her too obey her husband and submitted to what he saw in her. So, Talisha immediately put together a flyer and posted it on Facebook. Within a couple of hours she had 2 families to schedule appointments to meet with her to view her program. After meeting with the families they immediately informed Talisha that they wanted her to care for their children. One of the things Talisha teaches her family is "obedience brings a blessing". Talisha's willingness to be obedient to her husband and his warm encouragements has brought countless blessing and that is what she will give to the children and families she serves. And the rest is Many Milestones history....
