✨ You're Invited! ✨

Join me, Dr. Katie Ray of New Day Wellness Center, and Caroline Ryan from the The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society for a very special Networking Happy Hour on

🗓 Tuesday, August 27
🕠 5:30–7:00 PM
📍 New Day Wellness Center, Skokie

This event is more than just business, it’s deeply personal. ❤️

After 15 years of MRIs, x-rays, and zero answers about my chronic back pain, Dr. Katie offered to do a free assessment and introduced me to her network spinal care technique. In just three weeks, I’ve had more relief than in the last 15 years. Her care has been life-changing, and I’m so grateful.

And then there's Caroline, who represents a cause that means the world to me.

Four years ago, my mom was diagnosed with two different types of breast cancer at the same time. During her double lumpectomy, doctors noticed what they called “squirrelly nodes”, something didn’t sit right. They sent them out for further testing, and that’s when we got a second, shocking diagnosis, stage 3 Hodgkin’s AND Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma.

It was only because of the breast cancer surgery that the lymphoma was found, and treated in time. Today, my mom is a warrior and a survivor. I'm walking in her honor this year with a Light The Night team, and I’d love for you to hear more about how this event supports families like mine.

Come for the drinks, the connection, the inspiration, and maybe to find something that hits home for you too.

❤️ We hope to see you there.

🔒 Think clicking suspicious links is the only way to get hacked? Think again.

Even trusted software can become a threat when it’s out of date or paired with risky third-party apps. Unpatched programs are a goldmine for hackers looking to exploit known vulnerabilities—often without you ever realizing it.

💡 Pro tip:
Keep your systems updated.
Audit what’s installed.
And don’t assume “set it and forget it” is a safe IT strategy.

Stay ahead of threats—before they find you.

On a more personal note (Hi all, this is Megan), weight loss and overall health journey is really near and dear to my heart. I am so glad that we had the opportunity to meet with the incredible staff at Options Medical Weight Loss and to have them locally here in Vernon Hills is amazing.

There are so many options that can help, they even offer a free consultation on how they can help. I can't wait to watch them thrive and help our community one person at a time!

🐾 Puppy break = best break! 🐶

Today, the family took a little time away from the tech world to visit our friends DogWatch Hidden Fences and Training Products in Long Grove and we were lucky enough to meet their nearly 2-month-old German Shepherd puppies!
Nothing like puppy cuddles to recharge and reconnect. Grateful for the chance to step away, spend time together, and soak up some tail wags and fuzzy snuggles.
Thanks again to our Kim Flader and friends at DogWatch—what a treat! 🐕💻💙
