The Power of Women Supporting Women
In today’s fast-paced business landscape, one thing has become abundantly clear: collaboration is key. Now more than ever, women entrepreneurs are proving that success isn’t just about individual ambition—it’s about the collective strength of women who uplift, support, and inspire one another.
For many, the journey to entrepreneurship is filled with challenges—whether it’s navigating a male-dominated industry, balancing personal and professional responsibilities, or overcoming self-doubt. But when women come together, they create a space where each voice matters, each experience is valued, and each milestone is celebrated. It’s a powerful reminder that while the path to success may be difficult, it’s far easier to walk when you’re surrounded by a community that has your back. For women in business, these connections often become sources of inspiration, advice, and camaraderie. They offer a chance to share resources, brainstorm solutions, and, just as importantly, provide emotional support in the face of inevitable setbacks.
The benefits of networking and supporting one another go beyond just business growth. Women entrepreneurs often share a unique understanding of the challenges that come with balancing career aspirations and personal commitments. This shared understanding fosters an environment where advice isn’t just practical but empathetic. It’s about giving one another the tools to grow professionally while fostering personal development, all within a community that genuinely wants to see each other succeed.
The impact of women supporting one another reaches far beyond individual success—it can transform industries, communities, and even entire economies. When women entrepreneurs lift each other up, they pave the way for more women to follow in their footsteps, creating a ripple effect that promotes inclusivity and equality in business. The more women who succeed, the more opportunities open for others to do the same, and the stronger the network becomes.
As we continue to see more women step into leadership roles and start their own businesses, it’s crucial that this culture of support and solidarity remains at the forefront. When women come together, they are not just creating successful businesses—they are shaping the future of entrepreneurship.
SPOTLIGHT ON THE GLOBAL WOMEN’S EMPIRE

By providing events, workshops, and networking opportunities, the Empire is shaping a future where women support women in every sense of the word— whether it’s sharing business strategies, offering emotional encouragement, or simply cheering each other on.
The rise of “Babes in Business” groups is a testament to the organization’s commitment to fostering a culture of collaboration. Each group is tailored to local communities in North Texas, offering a space where women can come together to discuss challenges, celebrate wins, and provide much-needed support in a safe, nurturing environment. The result is a network of women who are redefining what it means to be successful in business, proving that when women unite, they are unstoppable.

Investing in Growth, Leading with Service
Sponsored by T Wilson
Anna continues to see strong commercial growth this spring, and with it, we’re welcoming new businesses that are already demonstrating what it means to be part of our community.
Home Depot officially opened its Anna location on April 23 with a Neighborhood Night event that featured a ribbon cutting, a kids’ workshop, and a special lighting of the water tower in Home Depot’s signature orange. But what has stood out even more than the celebration has been the company’s approach to service. Earlier in April, volunteers from a nearby location repaired a fence for one of our veteran neighbors—a Navy veteran who served in Afghanistan. Home Depot supplied both the materials and the manpower. It was a simple, direct act of service that made a real difference, and a strong signal that they’re committed to being more than just a business in our city—they want to be a good
neighbor. That kind of leadership by example matters. And they’re not the only ones stepping up.
We’ve recently welcomed a new downtown tea shop, Thrive Hive Herbs, as well as new management at Chick-fil-A, which is already engaging local students through job fairs. Holt-Cat is preparing for a job fair this summer ahead of their fall opening, and construction is underway on Jack in the Box, expected to open by early 2026.
Economic development is only one piece of the puzzle. It works best when it’s paired with infrastructure, amenities, and a strong sense of community. That’s what we’re building here—and it’s encouraging to see new businesses aligning with that vision from day one.
As always, thank you for your continued support.

As the temperatures rise, your HVAC system becomes essential for maintaining comfort in your home. A properly maintained HVAC system ensures efficiency, lower energy bills, and a longer lifespan for your equipment. George Kendrick, owner of KMI A/C & Heating for over twenty years, shares some crucial tips and tricks to make sure your HVAC system is ready for the summer heat.
1. CHANGE OR CLEAN THE AIR FILTERS
Air filters play a crucial role in ensuring proper airflow and indoor air quality. Over time, they can become clogged, reducing efficiency and making your system work harder. Replace disposable filters every 1-3 months or clean reusable filters regularly.
2. CHECK AND CLEAN AIR DUCTS
If your ducts are clogged with dust or debris, airflow can be restricted, making your system work harder. Consider having your air ducts professionally cleaned every few years, especially if you notice reduced airflow or excessive dust buildup in your home.
3. INSPECT AND CLEAN THE OUTDOOR UNIT
The condenser unit (outdoor component of your A/C system) can accumulate dirt, leaves, and debris over time, which can hinder its performance. To improve efficiency:
• Remove any debris around the unit.
• Trim plants or bushes at least two feet away from the condenser.
• Use a garden hose to wash off dirt buildup on the fins and coils gently.
4. CHECK REFRIGERANT LEVELS
Low refrigerant levels can reduce cooling efficiency and may indicate a leak in your system. If your A/C isn’t cooling as it should or you notice ice on the refrigerant lines, contact a professional to check and refill the refrigerant if necessary.
5. INSPECT AND CLEAN EVAPORATOR AND CONDENSER COILS
Evaporator and condenser coils should be inspected annually and cleaned if necessary. A professional HVAC technician can do a thorough cleaning to improve efficiency.
6. CHECK AND CLEAR THE CONDENSATE DRAIN LINE
Your A/C’s condensate drain line can become clogged with algae or debris, leading to water leaks or humidity problems in your home. You can clear minor clogs by pouring a cup of vinegar or bleach mixed with water into the drain line.
7. RUN A SYSTEM TEST
Before summer arrives, turn on your A/C system and let it run for a while to ensure everything is functioning correctly. If you notice strange noises, weak airflow, or inconsistent cooling, schedule a professional inspection to address issues early.
8. SCHEDULE A PROFESSIONAL MAINTENANCE CHECK
Even if everything appears to be in working order, a professional HVAC tune-up can identify potential problems before they become costly repairs. A technician will check electrical components, refrigerant levels, and overall system performance to ensure your A/C is ready for the heat.
9. USE CEILING FANS TO REDUCE STRAIN ON YOUR A/C
Ceiling fans help distribute cool air more effectively, reducing the workload on your HVAC system. Set your fans to rotate counterclockwise during summer to push cool air downward and enhance comfort.
10. CONSIDER UPGRADING AN OLD SYSTEM
If your HVAC system is over 10-15 years old and frequently requires repairs, upgrading to a newer, energy-efficient model can save you money on energy bills and improve cooling performance. Look for ENERGY STAR-rated units for the best efficiency.
CONCLUSION
Preparing your HVAC system for summer is essential for maintaining a comfortable home and avoiding costly repairs. You can ensure your air conditioning system runs efficiently throughout the hottest months by performing simple maintenance tasks. For tasks that require a professional, be sure to call KMI A/C & Heating to get your system working efficiently.

CHOCOLATE and WINE
The Key to a Successful Wine and Chocolate Pairing Lies in Finding the Right Combination of Flavors and Characteristics.
Pairing wine and chocolate together can be a delightful sensory experience that can elevate the flavors of both. While the concept of pairing wine with food is well-known, pairing it with chocolate may seem unconventional at first. However, when done correctly, it can create a harmonious balance where the flavors of the wine and chocolate complement and enhance one another.
Wine and chocolate have a lot of similarities to each other. Both contain flavanols (antioxidants) and polyphenols (compounds found in plant-based food) that are good for you and have anti-inflammatory properties. These characteristics affect flavor so it’s somewhat challenging to pair wine and chocolate together. The more polyphenols, the more pronounced the bitter taste.
For example, if you sip a delicious dry red wine alongside a hunk of dark chocolate, the wine will start to taste bitter and sour. The taste imbalance is coming from the heightened levels of flavanols (different types of tannin) found in both chocolate and wine that end up clashing against each other on your tongue.
While it might sound counterintuitive, a good rule of thumb is to pair a wine that is “sweeter” than the chocolate itself. “Sweet” doesn’t refer to dessert wines alone. In the wine world, the term “sweet” is often used to denote ripe, fruit-forward flavors in a wine. These characteristics provide a nice balance to the bitter flavors of cocoa.
Both wine and chocolate can have intense, dry flavors. In order to find the right balance, it’s best to choose wines that are a little bit softer and juicier than the chocolate you’re pairing it with.
We’ve done the footwork to find several wines that partner well with chocolate. Here are our guidelines for matching chocolate with wine and a few of our favorite wine and chocolate pairings. We hope you’ll try them and then get inspired to experiment and create your own.
ARTICLE BY HALEY WILLIAMS PHOTOGRAPHY BY CASSANDRA CASTANEDA
TIP 1: MATCH SUGAR WITH SUGAR
When it comes to pairing chocolate and wine, you don’t want to strike a balance, you want to match sugar to sugar. Sweeter chocolate like white chocolate does better when consumed with sweeter wines and bitter chocolate like dark chocolate enjoys being paired with dryer wines. Think of it as matching sugar with sugar. A good rule of thumb is to always pair wines that are equally or slightly more sweet than the chocolate being eaten with it.
TIP 2: MATCH INTENSITY WITH INTENSITY
If you pair an incredibly delicately flavored dark chocolate with a full-bodied, heavy red, the intensity of the wine will destroy any of the subtlety that might have been present in the chocolate. The opposite is also true: strong-tasting chocolate will blow a delicate wine out of the water. Keep this rule of thumb in mind: light-flavored chocolates enjoy being paired with light-bodied wines and intensely flavored chocolates prefer being paired with full-bodied wines.
TIP 3: PAIR FLAVORS WITH FLAVORS
Wine and chocolate both carry their own intense flavors. If the chocolate contains other ingredients such as nuts, fruit, or caramel, consider how these flavors will play with the wine. This is especially helpful to remember when enjoying truffles with wine. To avoid creating a palate power play between the two, do your best to match fruity or floral chocolates with fruity wines like Moscato or White Zinfandel. Enjoy chocolate-covered nuts alongside a nutty wine like a Madeira or Marsala. Chocolate studded with dried cranberries might pair well with a fruit-forward red with berry undertones.
A NOTE ON SERVING WINE AND CHOCOLATE FLIGHTS:
Just as you would with any other tasting, it’s best to start with light chocolates and wines, increasing the intensity as you go along. Start with white chocolates and light wines and save the richest, dark chocolates and wines for last. By doing this, you will keep your palate from starting out too strong and missing out on the subtle sensations found in more delicate chocolate and wine selections.
CREATING THE PERFECT PAIR
DARK CHOCOLATE
Bitter to semi-sweet dark chocolates, that are 50 to 100% cacao, have intense, bitter flavors, and earthy to fruity undertones. Match the intensity without adding more dryness by pairing these chocolates with full-bodied, yet fruit-forward wines.
Pairs well with:
Cabernet Sauvignon, Pinot Noir, Port, Merlot, Shiraz, Barolo
MILK CHOCOLATE
Milk chocolate is typically creamier and sweeter with flavors of brown sugar, vanilla, and cream. It requires a wine that is light to medium in body, with a ripe fruit character.
Pairs well with:
Pinot Noir, Merlot, Sweet Riesling, Ice-Style Wine
WHITE CHOCOLATE
White chocolate has a sweet, buttery flavor with notes of cream and honey. Sweet white and rosè wines help cleanse the palate of the rich flavors from white chocolate, as does sparkling spumante like Moscato d’Asti.
Pairs well with: Sweet Riesling, Moscato, Semi-Dry Sparkling Whites, Gewurztraminer
