There’s something really special about being home more lately. It’s given me the chance to slow down, reconnect, and pour into the place I love most.

I’m SO excited to be collaborating with some amazing • new • local small businesses and dreamers who are helping make our community shine. ✨

There’s magic in building something right where your roots are, and I can’t wait to share more of what’s coming.

In the meantime, go follow:

• The Sally Social 🥞🥤

• The Sweet Spot 🍦🍨

• Just Baked 🍪 🍋 (Added THIS business after meeting and trying their delicious cookies!)

Stay tuned to find out when you can experience BOTH of these adorable businesses right in the heart of my Downtown Elizabethton I have worked so hard to improve.

My dream for my Downtown Elizabethton has always been simple: to improve, to innovate and to inspire.

When I hear laughter, see people lingering a little longer or catch a glimpse of a sweet moment being made, I’m reminded that it’s all working out.

A precious celebration yesterday.
Old friends, old stories, new chapters.

Happy 78th, Poppy. 🖤

If you recognize ANY of these beautiful, brave and talented women - contact them right NOW and offer your congratulations, encouragement and support!

In a time (I encounter my high school bullies •30 years later• and STILL experience trepidation!) where these youngsters face IMMENSE pressure, social media dictates how they should dress, music influences their language and style, their makeup has to be perfectly blended and flawless, they’re hearing messages confusing worth with ideal weight, and the expectation that they should be prioritizing future goals or they’re not ‘focused’ - not to mention the demands of academic, extracurricular AND scholarship obligations. (How did we survive?)

I wish they could see what I see in ALL of them and ask for you to take a moment of your time to recognize this too.

Please build these beautiful young women up today. YOUR influence could be the voice they hear a week from now, years later or even decades down the road. It matters; TRUST ME.

They were all SO brave to put their name in this hat. Their talent, their poise (they’re mostly sophomores and some looked like they were professionally trained!) their smiles that hid their obvious nervousness and uncertainty - how proud I am for ALL of these beautiful women.

Elizabethton High School should be elated to have been represented so professionally last night and I think they ALL won a piece of my 15-year old heart that cries out to them and says, “YOU ARE ENOUGH.” ❤️

Due to the amount of inquiries we have received for Building 520 this winter, we have decided to put off some of the major renovations and open the venue back up, effective immediately!

(Peep the new windows when you drive by!) 🥰

Thank you for your continued support; I am blown away with the love you have shown me in Downtown Elizabethton over the years and will NOT stop moving forward for YOU. I heard you, we threw the venue back together and are ready!🫶🏼

Now taking reservations! 🙌🏻
