The Buzz

It is being said by many that 2008 is the beginning of great change/shift; and I agree because there appears to be a greater intensity in energy and many are in flux or change.   Friend Syl Bruce makes her transition in locating her 20-year business from Downtown Lincoln to the end of High Street where she should be located in March, ready to continue business as Southwest Silver; we wish her luck in navigating this latest challenge.  Friend Linda Lareau, Owner of  Courthouse Coffee fights to hold her own against the mighty corporations who do not have the superior location across from the Historic Auburn Courthouse.  Fight on, Linda.  And then there's friend Donna Arz who oversees ten holistic practitioners at The Healing Light Institute in North Auburn.  Arz also oversees a teen program and manages to recreate with running, tennis and golf; so Arz is smart in providing recreation with the demands of  entrepreneurship as a single mother; and we wish success to Arz.  And welcome home to Liz Pope as she returns to Auburn to find her place in the media where she has learned much about in Reno working for a radio station there.  Others in the retail and restaurant and real estate and mortgate business will face hard challenges until the cycle balances itself out.
