Baby Boomer Recognition Day

Baby Boomers Recognition Day is August 17. We couldn’t be more thrilled to honor a generation who are among the largest population in the country. The “Boomers” (1946 – 1964) are now between the ages of 61 and 79. Theirs was an eventful era; early Boomers were prime instigators of cultural movements and significant societal changes, and powerful forces to be reckoned with, they lived through a number of significant events: first generation to receive polio immunizations, first manned space mission and first lunar landing were also witnessed by boomers. Baby Boomers represent almost a quarter of the population.  We celebrate you!

Boost Performance & Prevent Injury

Warming up before a round of golf is essential to improve performance and preventing injuries. A proper warm-up also reduces muscle stiffness and the risk of strains, especially in the shoulders, back, and wrists—key areas used in golf. It increases blood flow to muscles, enhancing flexibility and range of motion, which helps you swing more smoothly and accurately. Additionally, warming up also mentally prepares your focus and concentration on the course. Taking even 5-10 minutes to stretch can make a big difference in your game and overall comfort.

Health & Wellness in Every Project

Renovating or Building isn’t just about materials and blueprints—it’s also about creating safe, healthy environments that support physical and mental wellbeing, ensuring regulations are followed, and the end result is efficient yet welcoming.  From addressing safety and mobility concerns, to improving indoor air quality, addressing circulation and ventilation, to incorporating more natural sun light, larger more functional areas to ergonomic design to save money spent on utility bills.

This potent mix not only restores minerals but also stimulates soil biology, making nutrients more accessible to plants. Give your garden the organic boost it deserves for healthier, more resilient crops.

Let Kindness be Our Inspiration

Kindness is the gift that keeps on giving. It expands the light within us and touches the light in others. Small gestures inspire our hearts to open and be touched. It is one of the simplest ways to share our hearts with humanity. Whether it be letting someone go ahead of us in a grocery line, sharing our resources, opening a door, or finding ways to pay it forward. When we choose to act from the best place within ourselves, we nourish the seed of hope in others and lift the vibration of the world. Join me by putting one act of kindness into action daily. I can’t think of a time when we needed it more!
