Madi
Many tears today, and the last several days.
Today was the funeral of a sweet little girl, Madison Kay Douglas. Madi and her family are in our church, and in the time I have known them I have seen them strengthen and uplift everyone around them. Shortly after her third birthday, and about eight months ago, Madi was diagnosed with a rare brain tumor.
Today we were among serveral hundred people wearing shades of purple (Madi's favorite color). Between purple ballons and purple decorations everywhere, lots of children singing, profoundly beautiful words shared and a deeply touching slide show put to music, I came away a changed person.
One of my favorite parts of the slide show was a video clip of Madi spashing in a puddle with her arms wide out to her sides, and her head thrown back singing in dramatic fashion "Laaaaaa, Laaaaaaaaaaaaa, Laaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!)
Madi lived every moment of life to the fullest. She ran hard. She jumped high. She smiled often and laughed hard. She gave lots of kisses and hugs to her her family. Because she lived her life with such vibrance, I feel inspired to live with more energy, gratitude and vibrance in mine. Thank you Madi.

Name Badges
Media Marketing and More! Inc.
Who'd have thought that getting name tags would take over 5 months? Not me!
The design didn't take too long. Once we had our business cards, we knew we wanted something similar. It needed to be the same colors with gradient and everything. Finding a multi-color print-complicated-image-on-plastic with magnet attachment was a challenge.
We have a strong local-business-loyalty. Unfortunately, the availability was just not there to "go local" (our several-month search). Online search brought us to a company we are very happy with.

This beautiful little place is unique in many ways. My favorite thing is that they encourage people to visit them! Literally in the middle of an orange grove, the path to the building is picturesque, and the smell that greets you at the door is deep cedar.
