We are not obliged to like anyone; but we are under a binding obligation to love everyone, love, or charity, meaning a vivid sense of impersonal good will. This has nothing directly to do with the feelings, though it is always followed, sooner or later, by a wonderful feeling of peace and happiness.
— Emmet Fox, Sermon on the Mount
It is with great sadness that I share with you that last Friday night, a local family, the Hartmann’s lost their home in a fire. They have lost everything. Besides the loss of their possession’s, the hardest part of this tragedy is the loss of their best friends, their dog’s Jazzy, Bella and Cupcake who their lives in the fire.
As you can imagine their lives have been turned up side down. The overwhelming feeling of losing their dog’s, their house and their possessions all at once is something many of us could never imagine, and God willing, none of us will ever have to experience, something so tragic.
Although they have insur
ance it will be a very, very long process before they are able to rebuild their lives. For this reason Packs for Prosperity is working to support the family by reaching out to each of you to lend a hand or share the compassion within our community of friends.
If you are able to extend help in the form of gift cards, restaurant cards or wish to make a contribution, please contact Packs for Prosperity and we will make sure it get’s to the family.
Please continue to send them good thoughts and blessings so they will know they are not alone.
I have attached two pictures, the first being their ‘Best Friends’, and the second is a picture of what is left of their house.
All our best to each of you.

All Women are INVITED to attend!
What is the Sisterhood of Super Women?
I founded the Sisterhood of Super Women in 2009 because I found through my motivational speaking that so many women were feeling like they wanted to do more to not only empower each other but to pay it forward to the super people, places and organizations helping to make our community a better place.
We’ve grown up hearing about Super Man – but not nearly enough about Super Woman. Super – not because we have extraordinary powers – but because we are a community of passionate, strong, smart and giving women who don’t give ourselves or each other enough recognition for all we accomplish.
One Sunday every other month we select a different charity to learn about and support through monetary or in-kind donations. We spend two hours over lunch getting to know about the great work happening in our community while getting to know each other better and the various causes that fuel our passion. We are the Sisterhood of Super Women because we are making a difference in the community we live.

This past weekend was amazing. I spent the weekend at the art show “Artists for a Cause” in Scottsdale, Arizona. The sun was shining and it was a beautiful 85 degrees. The mountains were the backdrop to the show of 22 artists. To top it off we were blessed with the beautiful sounds of Joshua Isaac and Nicki Park.
The Artists for a Cause hosts art shows two weekends per month at the Mercado in Scottsdale on Via Linda. They donate a portion of their proceeds to a different “cause” each month. Packs for Prosperity was chosen as the “cause” for the month of February. We are grateful for the opportunity to be a part of your show and to help support the amazing artists who are supporting our community.
The next show is scheduled for February 26-27th. Visit their website for complete details, directions and to see the Artists who will be attending.
