I'm excited to announce our upcoming mission trip to Belize, starting this Sunday. A special thank you goes to Amy Beery and Harmony Closings LLC for their generous support in providing essential items for the children and caregivers we'll be serving.
With these contributions, we'll engage directly with those affected by trafficking and trauma, offering care and hosting a retreat for staff and volunteers. Our SAFE Hearts program will empower children to protect themselves, focusing on prevention and healing.
Thank you, Amy Beery and Harmony Closings LLC, for your dedication to making a difference. Your support with these items is about to bring hope and healing to many.

ReMARCable Event at Meadville Area Rec Complex
I was thrilled to be a vendor at the ReMARCable event, a vibrant community gathering at the Meadville Area Rec Complex. The day was filled with engaging activities, swimming, local bands, and a variety of vendors. It was a fantastic opportunity to connect with the community and celebrate togetherness. Thank you to everyone who made it a memorable day!

We were thrilled to celebrate the grand opening of @Hue , a unique store designed by our dear friend @selfpartneredtherapistandcoach Kayla , a talented therapist, alongside her partner Kim, who is also a therapist. This beautiful space, located in the heart of our community, was dedicated to uplifting and inspiring everyone who visited.
Hue offered an array of products carefully curated to enhance well-being and promote positivity. From soothing aromatherapy candles to inspiring books and wellness tools, each item was selected to support mental and emotional health.
In addition to the wonderful products available at Hue, we were excited to announce a special partnership with "You Matter." This collaboration brought exclusive merchandise to the store, with items that carried messages of hope and empowerment. Every purchase of You Matter merchandise supported initiatives that spread awareness and provided resources for mental health.
As the Master of Ceremonies for this event, I was honored to welcome everyone to this celebration of community, healing, and growth. Kayla and Kim poured their hearts into creating a space that not only served as a retail destination but also as a sanctuary for those seeking comfort and encouragement.
We came together to cut the ribbon and officially open the doors to Hue. It was a joyous occasion, marking the beginning of a journey towards wellness and positivity.
Thank you to everyone who was there and supported this incredible venture. Here's to a bright and colorful future with Hue!
