What’s Your Story? Join LeeAnn & Laura on this gentle journey into the story you’ve been carrying-and the one emerging. We all live by stories—some inherited, some chosen, many never questioned. What’s Your Story is an experiential, heart-centered workshop that invites you to gently uncover the stories that have shaped your life and consciously choose how you want to live the next chapter. Through reflection, guided inquiry, and meaningful conversation, we explore, listen deeply, soften old narratives, and reconnect with your authentic voice. When we name our story, we reclaim our power. When we listen to it with kindness, we create space for healing. And when we consciously rewrite it, we step into a life that feels more aligned, honest, and whole. What’s Your Story is not about fixing yourself—it’s about remembering who you are.

Authentically You is a free, inclusive community event created to celebrate individuals who embrace their authentic selves. Children deserve to see themselves represented, in real life and in literature and this space is designed to make that possible. Thanks to our sponsor, @beingbetterneighbors, the entire event is now completely free, including the VIP experience. Their support helps us continue breaking down systemic barriers to participation, including financial barriers. We’ll also have two create‑your‑own snack stations to make the after‑school window feel fun and kid‑centered: - A build‑your‑own trail mix bar - Our playful “strawberry” nachos station with fresh strawberries and toppings Our VIP Paint the Sky Experience includes: - A meet‑and‑greet with author, Lulu Buck - A signed copy of Sue’s Sky - An interactive painting activity inspired by the book There are only 25 spaces available!

We spent this weekend meeting some wonderful people and organizations at the Jefferson County Connectivity Summit put together by @theproductionalliance. Fun community event full of conversations, inspiration from Commissioner Heidi Eisenhour and making great connections! I spent the end of the day sitting at North Beach reflecting on all the shared wisdom of the day. #community @oly_cap @porttownsendpsychedelicsociety @ptkiwanis @theelvenwizard @jvsanders1972,

A morning of stories, community, and shared joy. We were honored to host Laura Hope Whitaker’s book tour for The Joy Exchange at Raptis Rare Books, made possible through the generous support of Brittany, founder of @loverlygrey Laura is the CEO of Extra Special People (ESP), a nonprofit dedicated to creating transformative experiences for individuals with disabilities and their families. And @java.joy, a branch off of @esp_inc that gives people of all abilities employment opportunities. A beautiful reminder that books, and stories, have the power to bring people together. 🤍 #ExtraSpecialPeople #TheJoyExchange #RaptisRareBooks #WorthAvenue #PalmBeach

Last week’s Spring Awakening reminded us that stories bloom in unexpected ways. We heard tales of stillness and transformation. Of nature’s quiet lessons. And hidden lives behind the curtain. There were Batman masks and the thief of time. Capsized boats and unreachable finish lines. War stories and collisions turned revelations. That’s what happens when people gather to listen. One room closes. Another opens. Fort Walton Beach — you’re next. See you March 25 at @gannetcreativehouse for another sold-out crowd!

The Ritual: Take one deep breath for the woman you were yesterday. Take another for the woman you are becoming. You are enough, right here in the stillness. Today’s Invitation: The doors are open until 6:00 PM. No yoga or meditation tonight—just the warmth and a space for you to simply be. #forharrietandagnes #wantagenj #restretailritual
