Sunday Morning Coffee

Sunday morning I usually grab a coffee and take time to catch-up on some stories I may not have had time to read throughout the week.  I thought you might enjoy them with your Sunday morning coffee as well.

South Shore’s Labelle Walkers lead the way

Love how this talks about the physical and mental benefits of a group walking practice. What a great way to start their day!

Why we built alone in the woods (Geodesic Dome Build)

I belong to a Nova Scotia Tiny House group on Facebook where this video was shared this week. I watched it one day with my lunch and was utterly fascinated and inspired by what these two have done. I can’t wait to go back and watch more of Tyler and Todd’s videos and follow along on their journey of building their dream off grid property.

Lunenburg Country Micro Lending Fund
Executive Director

This sounds like an incredible opportunity for someone who would like to support small business entrepreneurs during their journey.

The Lunenburg County Micro Lending Fund (LCMLF) is an exciting and innovative new venture that is designed to provide much-needed access to financial resources for small business entrepreneurs in Lunenburg County.  Born from a belief in people, it emphasizes the importance of nurturing ideas and opportunities that grow economically sustainable communities. The Micro Lending Fund seeks to empower entrepreneurial success through access to funds, not easily available from traditional lenders.

The Lunenburg County Micro Lending Fund is a locally driven initiative that strives to keep things simple for business owners, limiting paperwork and the lending criteria that can be challenging at traditional financial institutions.  But perhaps one of the greatest points of difference is the focus on the success of the borrower, not only from the standpoint of their ability to repay the loan, but in their ability to flourish and grow because of the support systems and coaching provided by the micro lending fund team.  This focus on long-term outcomes of the investment in small businesses is at the core of the micro lending fund model and is driven by a belief that economic resilience is a community initiative and can be driven by the community, for the community.

If a family home close to Bayview school and a short walk to all the amenities in this desirable South Shore town sounds appealing…you might want to check this place out.

Picture yourself this summer heading to The Barn for a coffee, then coming home with the kids to spend the afternoon in the garden. A bike ride in the evening and then book a babysitter and join friends for drinks at the Saltbox later that evening. Sounds just lovely doesn’t it?

This home is listed with Joe Baum of Engel and Volkers.

Thank you for spending part of your Sunday with us. Enjoy the day.
