Gratitude for the Little Moments of Community

There’s something special about the ebb and flow of community support — how it always seems to show up right when you need it most.

As I continue to put myself out there with Northcast, I’m constantly reminded how much we all truly need each other. It’s not just about business or sales — it’s about showing up, being kind, and encouraging each other to keep doing what makes us happy.

Tonight at the Elk River Indoor Market, I really felt that. It was my first time participating, and even though it was a slower evening, the energy stayed light and positive. We laughed, connected with our neighbors, and kept each other’s spirits up — and that’s what community is all about.

As someone still new to this area, these moments mean everything. I’m so grateful for the people who take the time to stop, chat, share a smile, and support small makers like me. I’m looking forward to showing up more, growing roots here, and continuing to build something meaningful together.

Here’s to the beauty of showing up — even on the slow nights. 🌙💛
