☀️ Consider Your Weekend Planned + Suicide Prevention Month


This Week's Welcome

Yes! We are back at the Black Swan Venue from 9am-1pm this Saturday! Last time, someone told me how they appreciated the assortment of vendors. Less duplicates and overlap. Well, this week is 80% made up of completely new vendors for the LKLD EDGE! We're so excited for you to come see them and hopefully do a little shopping!

Many will be at the Downtown Farmers Curb Market, so please stop by and cool off in our cold A/C!

It's also Friday, so that means it's time for a "deeper" podcast episode. It just happened that I realized it's "Suicide Prevention Month."

With that said, this podcast episode digs into my own story of coming through suicide ideation as an entrepreneur, small businesses owner, and mainly a human being. I’m either crazy or just crazy enough to share about my life and past. I share three tips that you probably won’t hear elsewhere. And sorry, when I get nervous or excited, I do say “hmmm” a lot. Nonetheless, not one to be missed! Let’s go! 🚀🔥

That's A Wrap!

How many weekend markets was that?!

Don't say I didn't tell you so!

Hopefully you can make it out to some of them!

I don't think I can make them all due to our own and we're vending cookies at Sunday's Heritage Harvest market.

Anyways, if you see me running around, be sure and say "Hi"!

Until next time,

This Week's Welcome After a couple weeks off, we were back at it - but outdoors! We had a pop-up market at the Kitty Cat Lounge this past Saturday 😻 Thanks to all the vendors that were a part of it, those that came to shop and see the kitties, those that donated (we ended up with about 100lbs of cat food in the end), those who purchased these fundraising totes, and for KCL letting us setup there!
