Going through my attic in the quadrant reserved for Corey, the books and papers she saved are thoroughly inspiring. Beginning with the turn of the millennium, she was focusing on creativity, the divine feminine, beauty, sacred dance, and healing the body. 

Her bookshelf here included:

*Sacred woman, Sacred Dance: Awakening Spirituality Through Movement and Ritual
*The Divine Feminine: Exploring the Feminine Face of God Around the World
*Healing Dreams: Exploring the Dreams that Can Transform Your Life
*The Female Body: A Head to Toe Guide to Good Health and Body Care At Any Age
*Thai Bodywork
*Fundamentals of Anatomy & Physiology
*Native Americans: An Illustrated History
*Secrets of Attraction: Universal Laws of Love, Sex and Romance
*Scarves to Make
*The Simple Joys of Quilting
*Riding in Cars With Boys
*Abnormal Psychology in a Changing World (textbook)
*Sark's 2005 calendar

Her bookshelf in California included: (I gotta get back there to finish this list)
"The Secret" by Rhonda Byrne

For much of 2011 and 2012, Corey mixed different natural ingredients to make these creams and potions absolutely perfect for skin.

For the label, Corey chose a photograph of my mother, Troyanne Ross, on stage in a Little Theatre play in Charlotte (now Charlotte Repertory Theatre). My mother passed away in 2003 of emphysema and this label is a heart-filled tribute to all that she was: bold, sassy, beautiful...much like Corey.

I have legally transferred the company to my name and Corey's fiance's name, so that we have the option of one day realizing Corey's vision for Napa Valley Beauty products.
