In our vibrant island community, creativity blooms in everyday life. This summer, I had the wonderful chance to be featured in the magazine published by Melissa Overbeck of the local Camano Shop. This beautiful magazine captures the essence of life on our island, showcasing the peaceful surroundings and inspiring stories of artists, creators, farmers and shop owners who call this place home. It's a stunningly beautiful island srory, that celebrates our community of resilience and beauty that surrounds us daily.
Melissa Overbeck and Samantha Wagner, two dedicated and talented, local entrepreneurs, have invested their hearts into creating a magazine that resonates with the spirit of our island. The summer edition is particularly special, as it showcases the warmth and vibrancy of the season. Each page features stunning visuals and heartfelt stories that inspire both artists and community members. As a contributor, I am honored to be part of this magazine that highlights individual talents while fostering a sense of belonging and connection among residents.
In addition to the magazine, Melissa is also the creative genius behind the Camano Shop. The dedication of these two women, Melissa and Samantha, is further highlighted by the fact that they are hardworking moms, who balance their family duties with nurturing their creative passions. Their commitment to their families and community is truly admirable. By uplifting one another, we foster an environment where creativity flourishes, allowing everyone to have their moment to shine.
Being featured in the summer edition of Camano, is a beautiful way to connect with my community and share my passion for art. I am grateful to Melissa and Samantha for their hard work and dedication to promoting local talent. Their efforts remind us how essential community support and collaboration are. Let's continue to uplift one another and foster a vibrant environment where everyone can thrive. In a world that often feels disconnected, the magazine serves as a beautiful reminder of the power of community, creativity, and the stories that bind us together. Here’s to lives filled with hard work, love and inspiration!
Until next time,
Shann
