Today, my heart feels full as I sit down to write this. Consider this a little love letter to you, our incredible community—not just here in Door County, but to all of you who gather with us online as well. Over the years, I’ve been moved time and time again by your unwavering support. This place, this community, has a way of showing up like nothing I’ve seen before. You have this unshakable belief in lifting each other up, in ensuring no one stands alone, and it’s one of the most beautiful things I’ve had the honor to witness. Whether it’s rallying around one of our "Support a Cause" candles or stepping up for someone in need, you always find a way to make space for generosity and kindness. You ask the same questions, again and again, with genuine intent that never wavers, “How can I help? What can I do? How can I assist?” I’ve heard those words so many times, and they never lose their warmth. There’s a kind of quiet magic in knowing that when it really matters, this little corner of the world won’t hesitate. It’s no small thing to show up, again and again, with your hearts wide open. That kind of steady love and care leaves a mark—not just on me, but on everyone fortunate enough to witness it. And to our remarkable online community, please know you’re just as much a part of this as anyone here in Door County. Every word of encouragement you send, every time you share our mission or offer your support from miles away, it makes a difference. You, too, show up, proving that connection transcends distance. The sense of togetherness we’ve built isn’t confined to one place; it ripples outwards, spreading love and compassion further than we might ever know. I’ve said it before, but I feel it deeply every time I do. This community shows up. For each other. For those in need. For what truly matters. From the bottom of my heart, thank you for being the kind of people who care. Thank you for showing up. Thank you for making a difference. You remind me every day that we are stronger, kinder, and better together. ??Christiana

Today feels like a good day to pause, even just for a moment, and take a deep breath. How often do we rush through life, checking off tasks, chasing the next goal, only to realize we’re barely present for the moments happening right now? I’ve been thinking about how easy it is to get wrapped up in the busyness of "more"—doing more, achieving more, being more. Sometimes, without even noticing, we push ourselves to the brink. I know I do. Even when I’m running on empty, I catch myself striving to keep up. This weekend, I spent most of my time packing boxes, trying to get everything out because people were waiting and emails keep coming in asking about their shipments. And while I’m grateful for every order and every moment, I also realized I hadn’t stopped to just be. Somewhere between the hustle and the endless to-do list, I forgot to check in with myself. I think we all have those moments. We want to give our best to everything and everyone, but we have to remember that our best also means taking care of ourselves. It’s okay to slow down. It’s okay to not rush to the next "thing." Life isn’t a race, and no matter how much we accomplish, the finish line will look a whole lot better if we can say we savored the trip. So, give yourself permission to pause today. Light a candle. Let the soft glow remind you to breathe a little deeper. Open that book you’ve been meaning to start. Or maybe just sit quietly, letting the world swirl around you while you stay still. You don’t have to be chasing something right this second. Be kind to yourself. Give yourself grace. There’s so much beauty in moving slower, in taking it all in, in letting yourself just be. Someday you’ll look back on this season of life and realize how special it truly was. Don’t wait for "someday" to appreciate it. ??Christiana
