One of our favorite corners at Branch. 🌿
These magnetic letters are a gift from the young men that were in the Life Exploration Program at Pioneer Center / Ross County Board of Developmental Disabilities after working together on life & job skills at Paper City Coffee (which I co-own!). The gift itself came from The Sweetbriar Collective, owned by my dear friend Ashley — whose pieces we use at Branch & love!
Emily, who leads the program, was one of my clinical instructors in college and has been a mentor ever since. Profession, friends, mentors, businesses — all wrapped into one sweet moment. Full circle moments of collaboration like this fill my heart. 🌿
Bonus: I love watching kids add their own personal touches to this board every visit 😂
