Just For You

Next time a sunrise steals your breath
or a meadow of flowers leaves you speechless,
remain that way.
Say nothing and listen as heaven whispers,
"Do you like it? I did it just for you."

Support Locally Owned Businesses

Here is a small (but great) way to make a huge difference in your community!

Decide on an amount, even if it is $5, that you would be willing to spend
at a locally owned business each month.

It can be spent on something you would normally buy,
such as a book at a bookstore or a salad at a restaurant.

Take a friend with you and enjoy the experience!

Encourage others to do the same thing.

Every little bit helps, probably more than you realize.

"No one can do everything, but everyone can do something."



Each customer is valuable! Thank you for doing your part.
