💜 A Quick Update from Heart of Hanover

Yesterday, I shared that Heart of Hanover would be taking a short break while I focus on my health.

I've now posted a more detailed update on the website for anyone who'd like to know what's been going on and what to expect over the next few weeks.

Thank you for all of your patience, kindness, and support. It truly means a lot.

This is only a brief pause, and I'll be back as soon as I'm able. ❤️

Due to personal health reasons, Heart of Hanover will be taking a short break.

I’ll be sharing more details in an email a little later today. If you’re not subscribed, I’ll also post an update on the website by tomorrow.

This isn’t goodbye, just a brief pause while I focus on my health.

Thank you for your patience, kindness, and support. I’ll be back soon. ❤️

Over the last two weeks, our family fostered a little poodle named Nene through the York County SPCA.

Yesterday, we took him to meet his forever family - a retired couple that was looking for the perfect furbaby to love (and spoil rotten!).

And yes, I cried in the parking lot afterward like a completely normal person.

But fostering him also showed me just how much these organizations rely on community support to keep going.

Right now, the York County SPCA is responding to what may become one of the largest dog hoarding cases in their history. More than 50 dogs could enter their care in the coming weeks.

They urgently need:
🐶 Foster homes
🦴 Large breed dog food
📦 Large & XL dog crates
❤️ Adopters
📣 People willing to share adoptable pets online

And yes, they can accept clean used crates and opened bags of unexpired dog food.

I know fostering can sound intimidating. I was nervous too. But one temporary home opens one kennel. One open kennel creates space for another animal in need.

Not everyone can foster, but almost everyone can help somehow.

Donate if you can. Share this post. Drop off supplies. Talk to your friends about fostering. Community care matters most when it’s inconvenient.

This week’s Hanover 5️⃣ is live.

A handmade market, an oyster festival at Fat Bat, a coffee shop I gave a second chance (and it paid off), plus a few ways to actually show up locally this week.

I also shared a bit of what I’ve been building behind the scenes lately. 👀

Markets, oysters, coffee (finally good), and a few ways to show up locally this week. Plus a quick behind-the-scenes update.

Starting Heart of Hanover forced me to dust off my marketing skills… and lately I’ve been getting into sales funnels.

Turns out, I really like this stuff.

But I’ve hit the point where I need to practice on real businesses… not just fake ones.

So I’m looking for 2–3 local businesses who’ll let me build the first page of their funnel for FREE.

Want more leads? I’ll build you a lead funnel.
Selling something? I’ll build you a sales funnel.
Want more bookings? I’ll set up a simple booking funnel.

If you like the first page, we can build out the rest together.

No catch. I’m building reps and case studies. If you love it, I’ll take a testimonial.

If you run a local business and want to try it, drop a 👍 or send me a message.

🍩 Tried something new in Hanover…

Zodiac Donuts LLC (gluten-free, dairy-free, vegan — yes, all of it)

If you’re usually the one managing expectations when it comes to gluten-free desserts… this is not that.

I ordered the Mint Oreo Stuffed Brownie and fully expected it to be “pretty good for gluten-free.”

It was just… good. Like really, really good.

Rich. Moist. Held up overnight. No weird texture, no disappointment. If you’ve ever had gluten-free brownies, you know the usual trade-off. This isn’t that.

I didn’t even tell Greg it was gluten-free until after we finished it. He gave it a solid “3 stars…for sure,” which, if you know him, is basically a standing ovation.

Also: beautiful packaging, small batch drops, and pickup-based ordering.

📍 Home bakery in Hanover
(orders open in limited batches)

If you’ve been feeling left out of the donut conversation… this might be your redemption arc.

There’s a weird gap between knowing things are happening in Hanover… and actually going.

This is me trying to close that gap (for both of us).

Egg hunts, art, comedy, donuts, and a few things that might actually get you off your couch.
