Honoring a brave local hero
Our community recently suffered a tragedy.
One night, terrible fires were set all all around our neighborhood here in Northampton, Mass. Over a dozen fires were set, and some of them grew to awful proportions, causing serious carnage. In one such case, people died.
A client and friend, Bernadette Giblin, lost family in that fire. Following that night, she held vigils and worked to help the survivors of the arson incidents, making a difference and inspiring the community.
As a gesture of our sympathy and thanks, we’ve donated a site to Bernadette to help with her business, Safeground Landcare. Our hope is that it will help a local hero to rebuild and grow, and we appreciate your help with her efforts (such as the Paul’s Garden Memorial Project).
We regret the tragedy deeply and profoundly, but are also inspired by the courage you’ve shown in the face of it, Bernadette.

Distract yourself with wonderful shiny things
I recently had the wonderful pleasure to meet Mandy Carroll-Leiva, and her inspired jewelry is certainly worth checking out. Browse through many delightful clusters of gems, marvelous spheres, and smooth, shiny forms. Her jewelry now appears in the Lori Warner Gallery in Chester, CT, so stop in and see the work in person if you’re in the area.
Don’t you like it when people treat you this way?
You know that feeling: on some level, you have a context of professionalism to maintain. So how do you synthesize that with your lucidity, your frankness, and that emotionally-articulate communication guru inside?
However you want to phrase it, it’s about coming from the heart. In this insightful appeal, Val explores what it means to be heart-centered in business, and beyond.
It’s kind of a meaningful article for me, because my conversation with her played a part in its creation, as a response. And that response is quite inspiring.
Thanks, Val.
