✨ 𝗗𝗶𝗱 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗸𝗻𝗼𝘄?! For the past three years, we’ve had an amazing team of community volunteers willing to climb the rooftops of downtown McCook to help maintain our seasonal lights! 🙌 We’re incredibly grateful for their time, hard work, and (most importantly) their fearlessness when it comes to heights! 😅💡

But what if we could give our volunteers a little break and keep downtown shining all year long? ✨

That’s exactly why we’re fundraising to upgrade to a permanent downtown lighting system! Here’s what that means for McCook:

💡 𝗟𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗺𝗮𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗻𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 — fewer hours spent putting up and taking down seasonal lights (we love our volunteers, but we’d love to keep them safely on the ground too! 😉)

🌟 𝗔 𝗽𝗼𝗹𝗶𝘀𝗵𝗲𝗱, 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗹𝗼𝗼𝗸 — no more lights swaying in those Nebraska winds!

✨ 𝗠𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝘀𝗽𝗮𝗿𝗸𝗹𝗲, 𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝘆𝗲𝗮𝗿 𝗹𝗼𝗻𝗴 — because downtown deserves to shine beyond the holiday season!

We’re excited about the opportunity to bring a little extra glow to the heart of our community, and we’d love your help making it happen! ❤️

💛 Want to help us light up McCook? You can:

-Donate through the Southwest Nebraska Big Give on November 5

-Visit the McCook Community Foundation Fund website (Link in Comments)

-Message us on Facebook!

Every contribution helps us get one step closer to a brighter downtown! Let’s make McCook shine! ✨

This topic of conversation has come up a few times for me the last couple of weeks and I want to help bring awareness for people when researching therapists.

Don’t just look at prices-

Ask them about their credentials.

How long has the therapist(s) been practicing and what type of experiences does that time frame entail? Do the prices match that?

**Ask them how they received their certificates or licenses. Or, if they even have a state board license in general.

Unfortunately, there are many therapists who list and charge patients for services they simply watched YouTube videos or Facebook reels about. There is so much misinformation and misreprestation of qualifications that aren’t even factual or substantiate as compared to the “title.”

If a therapist has just received a credential or certificate, by all means- SUPPORT THEM! They need to grow, learn, and earn that reputation.

But please, don’t overpay for unqualified work that is inaccurately measured. Look for the certifications. Continuing education is not cheap and proves that a practitioner cares enough for their clients to pay for the development of their career.

If I practiced a modality on an elite athlete that I had no credentialing in and something went wrong, do you know how much trouble I would be in? How are you any different? Just be aware out there ❤️‍🩹🫶🏼

Just a reminder to all the hardworking people who are going to be up at the crack of dawn tomorrow to make this year's Heritage Days amazing, Lucy's is open at 6am, and we'll have grab and go breakfast sandwiches, quiche, pastries and of course, donuts!

Good morning friends!

Wanted to let you know I will be out of office Oct. 22-Nov. 2nd helping this amazing team of women in Plymouth, MI at the USA Hockey Arena before the Women’s World Championship in Denmark on Nov. 6th! So definitely make sure to tune in 🙂

As always, I don’t do what I do because I want any recognition. I do it because I’m blessed with the gift of sports massage and I love helping people. Period. And most importantly, to walk in my calling and give glory to Jesus and what He’s done in my life.

I was a dang good athlete in High School and College with two full ride scholarships but lost them to my poor decisions. I didn’t understand the weight and my desperate need for Jesus. He did lead me out, though, in supernatural ways, through people, others’ prayers and amazing experiences. He will for you too if you believe. It took time for me, but just like learning anything new- you have to go through those critical first steps.

I believe this is His way of honoring His living Word (it truly is alive) in my life.

Joel 2:25 “"I will repay you for the years the locusts have eaten…”

It’s never too late for God to restore and we get an eternity to live out the rest if you believe in Jesus. That’s it. Blessings friends. He is real. ❤️‍🩹

This little sweetie pie made the coolest church I’ve ever seen from a basket full of blocks we have at Elevate during her sister’s session. 💕

Absolutely love introducing sports massage to families. It’s so rewarding to see someone get back to playing the sport they love because massage was the modality that helped them. That doesn’t mean at times it doesn’t take a team of practitioners- but sometimes it truly does just take a good sports massage therapist.
