ITS FLOAT FEST DAY!

Float Fest 2026 is just one week away!

The City of Goshen is proud to support this community-driven event through our Community Partnerships program. On Saturday, June 27, residents and visitors are invited to enjoy an afternoon of music, art, food and outdoor recreation along some of Goshen’s most unique waterways.

Whether you plan to kayak, canoe or explore on foot, please make safety a priority. Wear appropriate flotation devices, use proper lighting when needed, and help keep our shared public spaces clean and welcoming for everyone.

Maybe it’s time I re-introduce myself…

Hi! You may know me as the publisher of Goshen Neighbors Magazine— but my passion for supporting local businesses and publishing goes far beyond the pages you see each month. Over the years, I’ve had the opportunity to work closely with different business owners, entrepreneurs, and community leaders, helping them build stronger visibility and meaningful connections both online and within their local communities.

Behind the work I do is someone who genuinely loves supporting local and helping them feel seen, valued, and connected in the communities they serve.

The magazine is only one piece of what I do.

I work with businesses through:
✨ Print advertising & community branding
✨ Digital marketing on Facebook, Instagram & Google
✨ Website & online visibility strategies
✨ Listings & online presence management
✨ Reviews & reputation growth
✨ Local marketing designed to keep businesses top of mind

But beyond marketing — I also love being a community connector!

Connecting businesses with people.
Connecting people with local resources.
Connecting communities through stories, support, visibility, and relationships.

Because marketing today is more than just advertising. It’s about building trust, creating relationships, and helping you become recognizable within the communities you serve. At the heart of what I do is a genuine love for helping you and our community thrive!

Sharing Wesley’s story and his mother Kim’s journey truly brought art to life in a way that words can’t fully capture. It was truly an honor to be trusted to share a story rooted in deep pain, but also in incredible strength, faith, and growth.

Walking through someone’s journey of loss, especially when it comes to su***de, is not something I take lightly. It’s sacred. It matters.

What stood out to me most is that even in the darkest moments, there can still be purpose… there can still be light. This story is a reminder that behind every smile, every family, every person—we never fully know what someone is carrying. And that awareness alone can change the way we show up for others.

If this article does anything, I pray it opens hearts.
I pray it starts conversations.
I pray it reminds someone that they are not alone.

There is growth after pain. There is healing in the process. And there is always hope—even when it doesn’t feel like it. Thank you for allowing me to help share something so meaningful. 💛
