This winter has been a hard one in our small Northwoods community. Over the past couple of weeks, three friends of ours have been involved in two separate life altering accidents. One friend was involved in a severe snowmobile crash a couple weeks ago and has been in the hospital with multiple injuries including bleeding on the brain. He has thankfully come out of the coma and is awake, but still isn’t able to speak yet. Last night, two more friends were struck by a car while leaving snowmobile races. One is currently in critical condition in an induced coma, and the other is recovering from a broken hip. These are good people with families who love them deeply, and right now those families are facing some very heavy days. If you’re the praying type, or someone who believes in sending good thoughts into the world, I’d be grateful if you kept them and their families in mind today. Sometimes life reminds us how fragile it all is. Hug your people a little tighter tonight.

So earlier today I saw a post in @Heather Boers community, Wilder Profits, and saw what @Kristi Rieke created for her Pinterest marketing for her products. So I thought I would play around in ChatGPT and get creative and create my first Pinterest image for my community and business. Check it out and let me know what you all think....I think it is good! It is definitely my first of many.
