I believe in the power of stories and that we all have important ones to tell. I enjoy writing and investing in my community and I think blogging is a lucky way I get to do both.

The internet is a vast and noisy place, and bloggers are a dime a dozen. I THANK YOU for stopping by at Fridley Patch and reading any of my articles. I am always eager to learn and write about events and/or topics that you think are important and I can help share (see website to contact me).

What are the kinds of stories that attract me most? The kind about people and community who want to do something good in the world for others.

(Please note: None of my blogs represent the opinions of any of the businesses I work with, unless specifically stated)
