| Company | Hillsboro Title Company |
| SHARE Your Solution | Kindness is contagious and we can start spreading it more often.
I feel so often people don’t see the value of how a simple good morning, opening a door for a stranger or sending a text to someone and telling them to have a good day, or you’re thinking of them can go so far! We don’t know what people are going through. A simple kind gesture can change someone’s entire day. |
| CONNECT | I have found from my past; I could have used a kind word or word of encouragement. Truly we don’t see that anymore in our world, but we also don’t see it on social media platforms. I have made it part of my day to greet a stranger in public, give a word of encouragement to someone, leave behind inspirational coins, do something for someone that you would like done for you. Even when I’m having a bad day, if you do these things, it changes your mood too. My mission is helping others, whether in their business or personal life, feel better about themselves! Spread the LOVE. |
| SUPPORT | A few years ago, JCGA came to me and talked to me about a women’s group. This group has blossomed into women supporting women. Not only has it helped many ladies connect for business or get resources to help with a solution, but it is also to walk away feeling valued, important and blessed for the life you lead.
You are in control of your path in life, and we only get one life to live. Make it a happy one. I love supporting people in our community, I love helping our local nonprofits, our local chambers, and most of all our community. How can people support me? Connect me to someone, share a local nonprofit’s page, give a helping hand, it’s not always monetary donations these places need, time is so valuable and if you don’t have the time to physically help, share their social media events, like their page, tell others about them, you have no idea how much that helps, and it only takes seconds! How does my mission support OurFESTUS? Because Sara is on the same path, I’m on but with her beautiful words. She helps spread the word of a business or a person and her words make it that much more valuable. We both want to help others in the world and uplift others in the community. |
