OUR COMMUNITY IS FILLED WITH SO MANY AMAZING INDIVIDUALS WHO HELP MAKE WHERE WE LIVE SUCH A GREAT PLACE TO CALL HOME. In the spirit of our Thankful issue, we here at Loveland & South Lifestyle wanted to show how grateful we are for the individuals who are leading the way for positive change and igniting a compassionate drive in all of us to do something to better the lives of others. It is a rare thing that someone should go through life without struggling at some point. The most successful people in the world often carry stories of hardship. There are many roads and many stops in life, and at times we find ourselves in a place or position that we did not originally foresee. While interruptions in life are not uncommon, it never makes it easier to face these circumstances alone. That is what community is for—to assist in building others up when things are going well and to depend on when life throws the unexpected. According to the Oxford Dictionary, the word “inspire” is defined as “the act of filling someone with the urge or ability to do or feel something, especially to do something creative.” The following individuals stand not just as pillars in their communities, but also as truly and universally inspiring citizens. Their stories are made of hope, love for their neighbors and a willingness to see a need and do something about it.
