The day doesn't just end; it dissolves into a profound blue hour, the world poised in a moment of transformation. Below, the solid, earthy grace of horses, their silhouettes a timeless anchor against the fading light. Above, the sky is a canvas of roiling, dramatic clouds, a final act of terrestrial turmoil before the heavens clear, revealing an infinite, piercing clarity. One by one, the first stars emerge like ancient embers, soon joined by the fleeting, modern comets of air traffic. And then, as if summoned by the date itself, the sky begins to dance—the sacred, silent fire of an unexpected aurora, washing over Sevierville in a wave of celestial wonder and cosmic energy.

But we are responding together. FeedTN.org is a new resource to connect those who need help with those who want to help.

Whether you're looking for food assistance or able to give support, FeedTN.org is the central place to start.

Got a great email today, from a client on the proof of his newest website.

"Looks fantastic! I'm going through and looking for items to change and can't find anything. I'm going to forward to the team and get their feedback. But job well done!!!!"

Ray and I love creating great websites and videos that position clients to make an impact in their industry.

Everybody knows I talk a bunch of SMACK
Are We Driving Our Business Away?

To my fellow tourism professionals in the beautiful Smoky Mountains, I need to share something that's been weighing heavily on me. I'm alarmed by some of the online remarks I'm seeing, and I'll be the first to admit, I've been guilty of it too.

We complain about traffic, we make derogatory comments about how our visitors drive, and increasingly, we take them for granted. But let's be honest: these visitors, and yes, even the traffic, are the lifeblood of our economy.

With the current economic downturn, it's more critical than ever to realize that consumers have choices. When we make negative cracks online about tourists, it's VISABLE to the entire world. This isn't just venting; it's a direct reflection on our community.

Each one of us and I'm not leaving myself out here needs to remember that we are ambassadors of the Smoky Mountains.

If we don't change our ways and lead by example, our loyal customers, who see negative comments from us and other visitors, will simply choose to go elsewhere.

Let's commit to showing appreciation and professionalism, both online and in person. Our future depends on it.

I want to brag on someone for a movement.

If you don't know Joy Maples you should take the time to get to know her. As a person and a friend, few are finer. As a businesswoman, she is a force to be reckoned with one of the most professional, self-motivated, sharp, and downright fierce competitors I’ve ever known.

She never loses sight of the goal. I genuinely love watching her create and build web and social media marketing strategies. Few marketing agencies can match what she is capable of accomplishing on her own.
