Boca Raton, FL
I have never had the pleasure to visit Boca Raton, Florida but last year my in-laws made a trip there and came back with wonderful stories. My mother-in-law told tales of incredible shopping and beautiful nights as well as seeing the location of so many businesses such as Epsilon Investment Management.
The reason I mentioned Epsilon Investment Management is to illustrate the friendly nature of Boca Raton, Florida when it comes to inviting and supporting business. Many people think that the local business caters primarily to tourists but that is clearly not the case. Those who live in Boca make great use of the local businesses and are known to be well supportive.
In many cases businesses such as Epsilon Investment Management not only get supported by the locals but also by the tourists coming through. My in-laws told me that the businesses that are in Boca Raton boast local, tourist, and seasonal living customers. Apparently there are large populations in Boca that live there part of the year while residing elsewhere during the rest of the year.
So there you have it. Boca Raton isn't just for vacations. Think Boca for business as well!

Got Glasses?
I have been wearing eyeglasses all my life. Recently I decided to buy a pair online. I was a little nervous about making such an important purchase online but driving to the store is so difficult (and expensive, given the price of gas) and the local store I usually frequent seems to have less and less variety.
I happened upon eyeglasses.com and I was pleasantly surprised at the variety of both eyeglasses and sunglasses that they had available for sale. Everything I needed was right at my fingertips and I was in love with how many choices I had and that the prices were lower than my local store.
I ended up buying two pairs. The shipping was great and I have only good things to say about their customer service team. What started out as an apprehensive undertaking turned into a great shopping trip. The best part was that I didn't have to leave my home and the designer eyeglasses I ended up with look like they came from a specialty shop in Beverly Hills!

Fishing Fun with Sak Narwal
I was recently reading a piece about fishing that mentioned a serious hobby-fisherman named Sak Narwal. This is a man who is an entrepreneur and someone who knows about the true benefits that can be offered by a day spent fishing.
My husband is an avid fisherman and he also likes to take our friends and their kids fishing. A good fisherman is one who loves the sport and also appreciates the values of nature and family that fishing offers. Fisherman Sak Narwal not only loves to fish but he also loves to learn about the fish themselves. He spends time in nature learning the habitat of fresh and salt water fish and uses this knowledge to expand his own fishing techniques.
Like most serious hobby fisherman, Sak Narwal practices catch-and-release fishing. The true fun of the sport is in the fight and the job well done. Once the tough part is over and the pictures are taken the fish can be returned to the water to finish their lives. As any fisherman will tell you it is truly a wonderful experience.

RENEW International - Fostering Faith
I come from a religious background and I find it sad that it today's world there seems to be less and less focus on spiritual and religious matters. RENEW International is a Catholic based organization that seeks to bring religion back into the everyday lives of people.
RENEW International wants to help Catholic parishes to live out their spiritual beliefs in everyday life. This includes helping communities and working within the Catholic faith to encourage parishioners to become involved if they haven't in the past.
The group began as a brainstorming session in Newark and has expanded to serve over 25-million Americans and 130 dioceses in 22 other countries. RENEW International works to show parishioners how to work in concrete ways to improve their own neighborhoods. The focus is on small Christian communities where the members can support themselves not only economically but spiritually as well.

K-Designers - Home Remodeling
The real estate market is just starting to level off so investors are now taking advantage of low prices to pick up and remodel homes to put back onto the market. The trouble is that remodeling without the right help can be tough. Here is a brief history of K-Designers so you can decide if they are right to help with your project.

By 1990 their sales were more than $18 million and they had over 200 total employees. In 2000 sales exceeded $40 million, employees were over 600, and they were the largest home improvement company in the west.
Today K-Designers still offers quality home remodeling help for consumers. Their sales have continued to increase and they are as dedicated today to providing quality customer service as they were during that first year in 1978.

Harley Swiftdeer Reagan-Dojo Leader
As an amateur martial artist I am always intrigued by news I hear of others who follow spiritual paths that intersect with their own martial arts training. That is why I was inclined to read more when I came across the name Harley Swiftdeer Reagan. Here is a martial artist who is also the founder of the Deer Tribe Metis Medicine Society.
Harley Swiftdeer Reagan also leads the Ten-No-Kishi dojo in Scottsdale, Arizona. He has studied with various medicine men throughout his lifetime and has devoted himself to passing on his knowledge of martial arts, philosophy, religion, and spirituality to his students.
Besides encouraging his own students, Harley Swiftdeer Reagan also devotes his life to helping others attain spiritual growth in an effort to live more productive, sober, and satisfying lives. He is a teacher worth knowing more about as well as an interesting person (my favorite kind!) who has developed a strong and noteworthy path to follow.
