Hello to you listening in Brittany, France!Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with 60 Seconds for Story Prompt Friday and your host, Diane Wyzga.As a storyteller for some 30 years now I can say this: when life is upside down and backward we call on the old stories. The old stories of who we are and where we came from ground us in the truth of the origins we might forget when distracted by shiny things, especially at this time of year.Shopping [by Faith Shearin]"My husband and I stood together in the new mallwhich was clean and white and full of possibility.We were poor so we liked to walk through the storessince this was like walking through our dreams.In one we admired coffee makers, blue potterybowls, toaster ovens as big as televisions. In another, we eased into a leather couch and imaginedcocktails in a room overlooking the sea. When wesniffed scented candles we saw our future faces,softly lit, over a dinner of pasta and wine. Whenwe touched thick bathrobes we saw midnight swims and bathtubs so vast they might bemistaken for lakes. My husband's glasses hurthis face and his shoes were full of holes.There was a space in our living room wherea couch should have been. We longed for fancy shower curtains, flannel sheets,shiny silverware, expensive winter coats.Sometimes, at night, we sat up and made lists.We pressed our heads together and wroteour wants all over torn notebook pages.Nearly everyone we loved was alive and we were in love but we liked wanting. Nothingwas ever as nice when we brought it home.The objects in stores looked best in stores.The stores were possible futures and, youngand poor, we went shopping. It was nicethen: we didn't know we already had everything.""Shopping" by Faith Shearin, from The Owl Question. © Utah State University Press, 2002.My mother always told us that we were rich we just didn't have a lot of money. When money was even tighter we weren't poor; we were just broke. Mom was right. The shiny things have come and gone but the richness of the stories - who I am, where I came from - those remain close to heart.“We Ain't Buying It!” is a nationwide movement to pause shopping from Thanksgiving through Cyber Monday with major corporations that are enabling the administration's lawlessness: Target, Home Depot & Amazon.

Although the 'Buy Canadian' economic movement picked up most of its steam shortly after US President Trump announced tariffs on Canadian goods, the momentum is still going, even amid affordability struggles.A new report from Square Canada says more than 60% of Canadians are willing to support local, Canadian businesses this holiday season even if it means digging deeper into their pockets.Host Mike Eppel speaks to Karisa Marra, head of sales for Square Canada to discuss how Canadians are feeling heading into the holiday season, and how shopping with intention can sometimes feel better than trying to find the best deals. Do you have a topic that's confounding you in this economy? We'll be happy to dig into it for you and get you the answers you need. Email us at: rogerspodcastnetwork@rci.rogers.com.

This week we share some great holiday gifts you can give from the Mitten, because who wouldn't want a bit of Michigan this season? We visit with our good friend Charlie Olson from Grand Bay Promotions, who shares a few of his favorite Michigan-made gifts to give this season, including our favorite, Original Murdick's Fudge. Fun flavored oils and vinegars from Fustini's ship like a dream and can make anyone a chef. One very unique idea from Charlie? A round of golf at the historic Wawashtemo Golf Course on Mackinac Island where his dad Chuck is the golf pro. We'll talk to Mike Laing about this newly released wine, their CCS Cuvée 1. They describe it as a "love letter to Detroit art and the people who make it." This stunner of a sparkling wine from our friends at MAWBY Winery is as delicious as it is beautiful, and with a great story to boot.From Mawby:Born from a partnership with the College for Creative Studies, this bottle began in the classroom and took shape in our cellar. Students developed label concepts for a special-edition MAWBY sparkling wine, gaining real-world experience; the project also funds scholarships through CCS to support the next generation of artists.As makers, we've stood with the arts for more than 50 years, and we hope wine lovers and art lovers find common ground in this collaboration.The winning label by CCS student Olivia Plochocki captures a city in bloom. We followed its lead and finished this brut cuvée with a botanically inspired dosage. Using locally grown Yarrow, Lemon Verbena, and Elderflower, we built a balance of herbal, floral, and citrus aromas and flavors. On the nose: yarrow and lemon verbena mingle with undertones of elderflower and a hint of mint. The palate reflects those botanical notes, lifted by bright flavors of lime zest, muddled lemon, and Asian pear. A touch of white pepper adds gentle warmth, extending the finish and allowing the herbal character to pleasantly linger.Have you heard about the power of pie? It's a true story from our friends at Grand Traverse Pie Company. And as owner Mike Busley tells us, they make totally incredible pies, first and foremost. Using Pure Michigan ingredients, each pie is made by hand by their talented bakers for maximum delight. GT Pie is also all about what pie can do, whether it acts as a way for people to come together or as a vehicle to allow the Busley family to give back to our Michigan communities in so many ways.With multiple locations throughout Michigan, you can always just stop in to grab a pie, or a slice, to go. Also amazing? They'll ship these beauties to wherever you'd like them to go, so your friends and family can understand you when you say Michigan fruits make the best pies.This year, be sure to check out the chocolate bourbon pecan pie featuring Iron Fish Distillery, the perfect partnership of two awesome family-owned Michigan businesses.We hope that you'll choose Michigan this holiday season, and spread some Mitten love around.

Why is it that in a town like Celina, Texas—where “shop local” is more than a mantra—so many homes are listed by real estate agents from Frisco, Plano, Dallas, or even Grapevine? In this eye-opening episode, Ron Lyons digs into the numbers and discovers a shocking reality: out of 20 active listings sampled in downtown Celina, only 4 are represented by local Celina Realtors. Ron Lyons brings over three decades of Celina experience to the mic as he unpacks: -How out-of-town agents often miss the “heartbeat” of Celina. -Why hiring local agents matters more than ever in today's shifting buyer's market. -The surprising traps sellers fall into with overpriced vacant lots and market-worn listings. -And what really separates a true professional from a fallback agent. From Friday night lights at Bobcat Stadium to the charm of the downtown square, Ron Lyons knows Celina like few others—and in this episode, he explains why that knowledge can mean the difference between your home selling fast or sitting for months. Whether you're a buyer, seller, or simply love hearing the inside story of Celina's growth, this episode is packed with stories, insights, and no-nonsense advice you won't hear anywhere else. #CelinaTexas #CelinaTX #CelinaRealEstate #RonLyonsRealEstate #TexasRealEstate #LifeInCelina #DiscoverCelina #DowntownCelina #SupportLocal #HousingMarketUpdate #BuyersMarket #SellersMarket #RealtorTalk #DreamHome #HouseHunting #ListYourHome #RealEstatePodcast #CelinaCommunity #YourCelinaRealtor #RealEstateAdvice

Fasika Tadele was driving from his home in Orlando, FL to Wichita, KS. While in the St Louis area, he was involved in a motor vehicle accident on 4/16/2022. A tow truck driver dropped Fasika off at a gas station in St. Charles approximately 1.2 miles from where the accident occurred. That is the last time Fasika is seen or heard from again. An unknown person had reported him missing prior to family ever being aware he was missing. Also, it has not been established if the two are related.
