In May 2007, a dream came true for 3 people in Ozark, MO. Scottie Snider, Randy Woods and Pam Maharg opened a new store. So a name had to be chosen, it was to be called…The Feathered Nest, and so it was. January of 2008 they decided they wanted a couple of birds in the store. With a name like The Feathered Nest, it only seemed right. So they purchased 2 Zebra finches and named them Martha and Stewart. After about 3 years, Scottie and Randy bought out Pam’s part of the business. After a few months had passed, they bought a few more birds: Paula and Dean, then came Onslow and Daisy, Hyacinth and Rose, Sonny and Cher, and the list goes on.

ph: 417.581.5090

Today the store has done away with many of the single ornate cages and replaced them with a new large Aviary. It has… as well as they can tell about 25 different birds of all kinds.

They also still have the 2 large cages of doves and a parrot coming this week. They also have 3 homing pigeons outside.

Today, they have many people that stop by just to see the birds, or to let their kids see them. The sound inside the store can be peaceful as a small chirp or a mind boggling array of the Amazon Forest. So if you are ever in Ozark stop by The Feathered Nest and visit their feathered friends. Located at 1603 S. 3rd St, Ozark, MO.

This pint-sized, charming shop is beautifully styled with French Farmhouse and Vintage Styled Décor.

Owners, Julie Dake and Lacy Mayfield fill their quaint space with old and new unique seasonal décor, restyled furniture, handmade soap, jewelry and so much more.

By Sher Peck MA, CRADC, LPC Grief is the pain and suffering experienced when someone or something you love is taken away.

It is natural and can be the result of divorce or relationship breakup, death, job loss, loss of health, financial loss, loss of safety, or retirement. Losses around change can also cause grief and emotional pain. You may be wondering if the pain and sadness will ever lift. Yes! There is hope for moving forward in life, in love. Psychiatrist Elisabeth Kübler-Ross identified 5 stages of loss noting that grieving is personal and different for everyone. She notes that the difficult phases of grief should become less intense and shorter in duration over time. If you have symptoms of profound sadness, emptiness, despair, yearning, deep loneliness for too long it could be that you are experiencing complicated grief or major depression. These conditions are not a part of natural grieving and can become debilitating.

Coping with Natural Grief: *Be patient and don’t ignore your grief (everyone

experiences grief differently). *Take care of yourself (sleep, eat, exercise). *Get support (friends, family, groups, therapist).

Call me for a free consultation if your grief does not lighten over time as it could be that your grief has become complicated grief or major depression.
