Park City, Utah: A destination full of surprises
If you’re ready for adventure, for serendipity and are ready to be entertained, fly, drive or run to Park City, Utah. It has everything rolled up in one fine, classy package with something for everyone, summer or winter.

Goodbye 2014! Come on in, 2015
Is it just me or does it feel like only yesterday we welcomed 2014 and sang auld lang syne into that New Year? Maybe it is me, but as I get older, time seems to pass more quickly. Workdays become weekends and then I’m back at the office before I really even have time to catch my breath.
New church proclaims ‘a better way’
No one probably knows how many religious groups are located in South Valley. One reason for this is new congregations seem to be constantly forming: population growth and a large percentage of religiously unaffiliated residents make this a good area for providing new opportunities to learn about and connect with God.

From that high perch, the full sweep of the Bay Area spreads out beneath you.
Brand new year, same old challenges?
Here we are, first week of January, clouds of holiday tissue finally swept from beneath our feet. A Christmas ornament, dropping from a dehydrated branch, plops on the rug, rolls hollowly onto the hearth. New Year's resolutions tap us on the shoulder, reminding us of our newly-minted vows. Get organized. Drop those Christmas pounds. Bring the budget back into check.
