When she founded Blue Meets Blue, Shahd Alasaly wanted to create a place where refugees could communicate in a common language, share their artisan skills, design custom garments, feel a sense of community and help one another grow… and prosper… and heal.

Whether she is driving the fire truck, leading others to

face their fears through adventure travel or making life a little sweeter for

someone through a gluten-free bakery, Lisa Greyhill is making a difference,

taking the challenge and inspiring others to do the same.

As you celebrate 2025, take a minute to revel. Be proud of

the things you’ve accomplished & the relationships you’ve developed. Be

proud of the difference you’ve made, living your purpose right where you are.

And as you head into 2026, gather those memories, friends & loved ones …and

Bring Your People With You.

Chase Brower & Temi Akinlua loved their electric vehicles but hated wasting time at

to clean your car, toys to entertain your children and services like windshield

repair and food delivery while you wait. Brilliant!

When Patty Atherton and her husband lost their son Dallas to

suicide, they found solace in nature, just as Dallas had. Together they turned

10 acres of their property into a summer camp with fishing, hiking &

kayaking for underserved kids. As they watched these children find joy &

experience healing...so did they.

While some people wrestle with what their calling might be,

Julie Drake’s was clear: Heal My People. As the co-founder of Advanced Innergy

Wellness Center, Julie uses state-of-the-art technology and therapies to

restore health and healing to the mind, body and spirit.
