Welcoming my newest partner, Gisele Sardinha of The Perfect Lifestyle, who joined us at the last Coffee & Conversations at Plant City—and couldn’t have picked a better backdrop: EAT MORE PLANTS! 💚

Gisele is on a mission to help women feel balanced, confident, and in control through plant-based hormone support. I’m so excited to feature her in this month’s issue of Greet Barrington and even more excited about what we’ll create together!

Let’s go, Gisele! ✨

Alright, trivia buffs… time for the reveal!

What did a bold settler name his self-declared island republic back in the 1600s?

If you guessed Sophy Manor — you nailed it! 🎯

Yep, John Paine (gifted part of Prudence Island as a wedding present — classy move, right?) got a little too ambitious. He declared the island his own independent manor, called it Sophy Manor, and even started collecting rent like a lord.

His reign? A whole three months before getting arrested. 😂
Turns out, claiming to start your own government was a bit over the line. But he did keep the land!

This wild tale — and so much more — came straight from our June issue, beautifully written by Barrington resident and real estate pro Scott Bean.

Crazy how much history is hiding just off our shores…

Did you guess it right? Let us know below! 👇

There’s something special about partnering with Greet Barrington.

Every month, neighbors meet new neighbors, learn their stories, and feel a deeper connection to this town we all love.

It’s more than a magazine—it’s a celebration of community, connection, and heart.

And none of it would be possible without our incredible sponsors—the local businesses who show up, support, and make each issue happen.
Our readers notice. They remember. And they love giving their love back to the tried-and-true partners who help bring Greet to life.

"Being part of Greet Barrington has been such a great experience, not just for visibility but for building real connections in the community.
It’s more than advertising; it’s about being seen and trusted."

And the answer is… September 2024!
That’s when we ran a sponsor spotlight on in Greet Barrington.

But here’s the fun part:
Back in March, during my first meeting with them, I came across this ring. I wasn’t looking for it... but somehow, it found me.
And while the ring didn’t spark the proposal, it ended up being part of one of the most joyful, over-the-top, and unforgettable moments of my life.
I’ve always said I wanted to be part of a flash mob…
So I figured — why not plan one?
Even better? Make it a surprise proposal. 💛
It all happened at the N2 20th anniversary conference — while I was performing with the band. And Jason?
He was in the flash mob, completely unaware. 😅
He thought we were performing to celebrate someone else’s engagement (which had just happened a few weeks earlier), so he rehearsed the routine right alongside me… with no idea what was coming.
With help from Jordan at Empowered Movement dance studio, and amazing colleagues from across the country who secretly learned the choreography, it all came together in one wild, glitter-filled, heart-full moment.

At the end of the performance, Jason was brought onto the stage — still smiling, still dancing —
and I proposed.
And yes… he said YES!

Wednesday Trivia Time! ✨📚
Here’s a personal one…
What month did I find this ring during a local sponsor meeting? it would end up being part of one of the most unforgettable moments of my life.
(Hint: there was music… a crowd… and a twist he definitely didn’t see coming.)
Drop your guesses below! I’ll share the answer tomorrow—and the full story behind this very sparkly surprise. 💛

Trivia Answer Time!
The big reveal? We officially became Greet Barrington in January 2023!

And our very first cover feature under the new name was none other than the amazing Sarah Huard and her family. 💙

Sarah’s story set the tone for everything Greet Barrington stands for—resilience, purpose, and community. After facing multiple chronic illnesses and even a recent battle with early-stage esophageal cancer, Sarah continues to show up with strength and compassion. She’s not only a powerhouse REALTOR®, but also a passionate community advocate, co-chair of the Barrington Business & Community Association, and devoted dog rescuer.

As Sarah beautifully put it, she’s living her “chapter two”—and helping others find theirs too.

💬 Drop a 💛 in the comments if you remember this inspiring issue or if Sarah’s story speaks to you!
