WE NEED YOUR HELP IN CREATING A CHRISTMAS MIRACLE

🐾 Artemis is up for Pet Grand Marshal! 🎄

Before Artemis became a therapy dog, she spent more than a year at the Staunton-Augusta-Waynesboro Animal Shelter, waiting for someone to choose her.

She watched other dogs come and go while she waited patiently for just the right fit. Then, after more than a year, Artemis finally found her forever home.

Today, she spends her days helping others on their healing journeys, offering comfort when it is needed most, and bringing smiles to nearly everyone she meets. Artemis is a true shelter success story and a beautiful reminder that sometimes the ones who wait the longest simply have not met the people they are meant to find yet.

Now, Artemis has the chance to lead the 2026 Downtown Staunton Christmas Parade as its first-ever Pet Grand Marshal!
Every $1 donated counts as one vote, and every vote supports SAWAS, the organization that cared for Artemis while she waited for her second chance.

Let’s bring her story full circle. From spending more than a year waiting in the shelter to leading the Christmas parade through Downtown Staunton, we cannot think of a more deserving girl. ❤️

Please vote, share, and help us crown this very good girl! 👑🐾

I want to vote for Artimus to be be the first Pet Grand Marshal!

A special thank you to Don Wetsel for sticking me with some needles today at acu-wellness! Sure I could poke myself, however it is much easier to have someone (who knows what they are doing) do it for you 😂

Three years ago, I recorded a video during one of the hardest seasons of my life.

I had a four-month-old baby, a three-year-old little girl, and I was struggling with postpartum depression while trying desperately to keep my head above water.

Personally and professionally, it felt like life had become one blow after another.

I had spent years trying to fit myself into the box of who I thought I was supposed to be.

I built a career in mental health because I genuinely wanted to help people, but the deeper I went, the more I began questioning the system around me and whether I still belonged in it.

For a long time, I thought something was wrong with me because I couldn’t just accept what didn’t feel right.

Now I understand that I wasn’t falling apart.

I was beginning to see the truth.

This is the story of what happened when the life I had worked so hard to build stopped fitting the person I was becoming.

Apparently, This Is My Life.
