🌊🇺🇸 **Remembering D-Day at the Bedford, Virginia Memorial** 🇺🇸🌊 (program starts at 11:a.m)

Every year, me and my family pay tribute to the brave souls who stormed the beaches of Normandy on June 6, 1944, during the historic D-Day invasion. This year, we're heading to the D-Day Memorial in Bedford, Virginia again, a place that holds deep significance for us. Remembering my father a WWII veteran.

The D-Day memorial staff do an outstanding job on this event every year. As an event planner I am always so always so impressed at flawless ex*****on.

The memorial beautifully commemorates the sacrifices made by the soldiers, especially the local heroes of Bedford—who suffered the highest per capita losses on that fateful day. It's a somber yet inspiring experience to reflect on their bravery and resilience.

Visiting the memorial each year reminds us of the importance of honoring our history and the incredible courage of those who fought for our freedom. We are grateful to be part of this remembrance, ensuring that their sacrifices are never forgotten. 🌺

🌧️ **A Bright and enlightening Morning Despite the Rain!** ☔

I had a wonderful time at the Lynchburg Regional Business Alliance procurement meeting this morning! It was informative learning about some of our large influential businesses in our community. There was plenty of discussion about how we can collaborate and provide our services to support one another.

Despite the rainy weather, the atmosphere was filled with positivity and camaraderie. The exchange of ideas and insights was invaluable, and it's clear that there are many opportunities for fruitful partnerships ahead.

Thank you to everyone who attended and contributed to such a productive gathering! I look forward to working together to strengthen our local business community.

Head shots. Embracing the Fun: Joyful Moments with a Professional Photographer! 📸**

Last week the weather outside wasn’t exactly cooperating, and I wasn't feeling my best—definitely a bit weathered! But sometimes, all you need is a fun friend and a little creativity to turn things around. I had an amazing time with a professional photographer and fellow Lynchburg Regional Business Alliance member, Stuart Twery and despite the gloomy skies, we made the most of our little photo shoot g at the AquaZoo in Lynchburg.

Laughter and fun can lead to some truly decent art. I can't wait to share anf use these pictures! They not only capture my silly side but also provide some much-needed headshots.

Here’s to the power of professionalism and the magic that can happen behind the lens—who knew a bad day could turn into such a good one?
