This Week’s Reflection …
I love living in a small town.
I grew up in a small town where adventure was just a bike ride away. In mere minutes we could cross from one edge of our world to the other, the breeze in our faces and endless possibility in our hearts. There was a quiet magic to the independence and safety we felt.
After years in sprawling cities, a decade in Flat Rock has brought me back to that magic. Life moves more slowly and more gently here. I can’t walk through town without a familiar wave, a kind word, or a shared smile. The merchants are more than names, they're neighbors and friends. I’ve found kinship on the trails at Sandburg and The Park at Flat Rock, where friendships are forged between breaths of mountain air.
Evenings bring cool relief as the trees exhale the sun’s warmth, and on winter nights, the stars are bright whispers in the dark and feel close enough to touch. It’s not perfect. But here, community is real and gratitude comes easily.
In this quiet corner of the world, I’m reminded daily that life - simple, sincere, and rooted - is a beautiful thing.
I love living in a small town.

When the final chords of Beautiful: The Carole King Musical rang out after a spectacular opening performance on Friday night, few in the audience that roared its approval could have guessed just how much went into that triumphant moment.
