Grab a coffee. Shop with friends. Stop for a delicious lunch. Sounds like a perfect day.
I know online shopping is easier. We are all busy. But we also deserve a day to reboot. And the power of shopping local is vital - and it’s ours. It trickles down to so many aspects of business in our community. These owners are our neighbors and our children go to school with their children.
What makes a city unique is every local shop and restaurant. If we don’t have them, then our city will look and feel just like any other - with the clusters of Home Depot, Hobby Lobby, Olive Garden on every corner. Celebrate what makes our city fantastic - or we may not have them to celebrate. Every little bit helps. Especially now.

Molly will also highlight why intimacy is important for overall well-being and offer practical steps to help women improve their s*x lives on their own terms. Whether you’re facing challenges or simply looking to enhance intimacy, this talk provides valuable insights and actionable advice with a lighthearted spin.
