What a day it has been—a rewarding journey indeed! I started off by visiting a church rummage sale, and what a treasure trove I discovered! My finds included: •3 gold necklaces, •3 pairs of gold earrings, •1 pair of silver earrings, •1 designer silver and pearl adjustable necklace, •1 long silver chain with a striking palm tree pendant •1 jewelry music box All this for just $31.50—an incredible bargain! Later, I had the pleasure of attending a friend’s business event. It was filled with great food, small business vendors, and vibrant networking opportunities. I’m thrilled about the connections I made and am hopeful that some of them will join us here soon. What about you? What’s something exciting you’ve done today or are looking forward to doing? Maybe you’ve uncovered a gem thrifting, supported a local business, or just treated yourself to something you love. I’d love to hear about it!

Here's a sneak peek: --- **The Urban Pirates’ Guide to Treasure Hunting** Ahoy there, mateys! Do you want to be an urban pirate? Do you want to find the treasures hidden in plain sight? Then grab your eye patch and your hook, and listen to this book! We’ll teach you how to spot the clues that lead to shiny loot. We'll show you where to look and what you need to do. But remember, be real careful and respectful too! First, let’s start with the sidewalks where people walk and run. Sometimes they drop their coins or rings when they’re having fun! Look for cracks and edges where these treasures might get stuck. But don’t pick up anything sharp, that would be bad luck! Next, let’s visit some stores and gas stations where people buy their things. Sometimes they leave behind their earrings or necklaces or shiny diamond rings! Look under the displays and registers where these treasures might fall. But don’t touch anything that’s not yours, that would be wrong after all! Then, let’s go to some churches and temples where people pray and sing. Sometimes they lose their bracelets or watches or other bling! Look on the ground outside where these treasures might lie. But don’t take anything that belongs to someone else, that would make them cry!
