I absolutely love variety and lots of options! I also love interesting places, sacred spaces, and healthy cooperation. While I’m grateful for online shopping options, especially since I live way out in the sticks, there is nothing like exploring the shelves on a hunt for unexpected treasures and sharing discoveries, stories, and presence with real live people. I also want to support community businesses even when ordering online or over the phone. Hence, I put time, effort, and energy into building symbiotic relationships that mutually benefit everyone… from the moment of creativity to the messengers and partners sharing special deliveries to the recipients and patrons. I see this as an important and worthwhile investment in community, interdependence, and independence. These are some of the wonderful places where you might find my creations (organized by state and country). If you have a favorite shop that you think would be a great fit, please introduce us! You can send them to ThriveTrue.com/Synergy or contact me.
