Giving Back - Introducing Salt Washed Company

929 E Murray Holladay Rd.

Salt Lake City, Utah

Each time I have visited this store I am greeted by warm and friendly smiles. The women who have come together to create this co-op don't need to work hard at making you feel welcome, you sense the moment you walk into the store.

I wanted to take a moment to introduce a group of talented artists, artisans and collectors who have turned a small store front retail store in Holladay, Utah into a veritable feast of great finds.

As you weave through the carefully planned uprights and gift racks, your eye will certainly find something of interest whether old, new, contemporary or vintage. Much love and care is put into each piece placed on the floor for sale and it shows. Each item carefully and strategically placed to catch a glance or two. You never leave the store empty handed, most especially when there is a sale.

Unsung Exraordinary Hero - It's never to late to find your purpose and live your dreams

Ageism, what is it anyway? I had not heard that term until recently. I would have to say that age is not a criteria for being an Unsung Hero. In fact there is no age limit to heroism. We all can step through the door and create a life of meaning regardless of our age, status, education or creed. You are never to old to make a difference now. We all can learn from each other. Let me introduce our shooting star and unsung hero Garrett Hardy, who defies ageism, with heart, intellect, drive and passion is hot on the trail of manifesting his life's purpose. Garrett's innovative problems solving thought process, with the culmination of a dynamic team are on the path to solve a serious problem. This change is critical to the landscape and climate of Mental Health Awareness and care. With limited resources available for mental wellness something has to be done. The system of care is expensive and slow, leaving loved ones to suffer in silence. People innately want to help o

Unsung Extraordinary Hero - Glenn Marsden putting life and heart into Mental Health

The definition of a HERO based on author, J eff Sanderfer is someone who shapes events, who acts rather than watches, who is creative and brave."(1). When I think of an Unsung Extraordinary Hero, I think of the creator and director behind the highly acclaimed Imperfectly Perfect Campaign. This man epitomizes action, shaping culture - social values, creativity and innovation in his approach to put life and heart into Mental Health. As I sit pensively waiting for that moment to connect with none other than Yorkshire born, Glenn Marsden, I explore the world of Imperfectly Perfect Campaign.org. When you launch the web page, o ne is immediately intrigued by the stories and pictures that resonate a truth. Instantly you see unfiltered real photographs of influential public figures. The faces bear the grief and hardship of mental illness. These people live amongst us with voices that are neither yelling or screaming but talking, rather frankly and poignantly about their battle. We ar

Unsung Extraordinary Hero - A Journey to Fulfilling a Calling to Be a Voice

In the wake of current life situations with COVID-19 Pandemic the word HERO only synonymous with comic books has become a household word. We are in a time and place where we desperately need the visibility and creation of heros, heroines, people who are heroic. From a college course book in one of my business classes, the definition in this time and space is certainly appropriate. In the introduction, Jeff Sanderfer said, " heroic people - people who shape events, who act rather than watch, who are creative and brave."(1.) This is a moment to ask yourself the hard questions that often we ignore or pass over. What is the journey or path to becoming a #HERO. Is it at the root of what we have done most of our life, or did we receive an experience due to external influences or was there a singular internal event that changes our lives. Perhaps it is best described as a calling or as I read recently a VOCATION, which in latin VOCARE means "to call." Did you come to
