"A house is made of bricks & beams A home is built with Love and Dreams" Glimpse of Love LLC is expanding and we are putting people into their dream homes. In 2019 Keiser University Nursing students and Glimpse of Love Founder, La'Tiara Love volunteered for Habitat for Humanity. They spent hours building houses on Hammock Place in Sarasota Florida. A few months later they were invited to the home dedication ceremony; "Seeing Carlene and her son Odane get presented with the keys to their new home was life changing for me." Our quest is to put more people in their dream homes and encourage more home equity in our community. "I was Raised in the City of Homes"

"The Last Shall be First" Glimpse of Love founder La'Tiara Love visited Shantell's Just Until restaurant in Sanford, FL this summer. "The food and atmosphere was amazing." Throughout the restaurant she saw pictures of Bessie Stringfield, the first African American women to ride a motorcycle across the United States. Bessie was also a civilian motorcycle dispatch rider for the United States Army during World War II. Shantell has made it her mission to share her idol Bessie Stringfield story. Shantell Williams is also a motorcyclist who's made history. She also traveled across the United States on a motorcycle, she did it solo and she did it in the record time of 27 days, Shantell's determination compelled Harley Davidson to create the Shantell Williams Mileage Award in her honor. Her story is so inspiring and has touched so many people and organization including Netflix, Her show " Shut up and Ride" is anticipated to come out next year. We are excited to watch her story; a business owner, wife, and mother of 10 who journeys across the united states on her motorcycle for a second time.

Everyone who purchased a Newtown Alive book was entered into a raffle. This week, we picked nursing student Sophia as the winner!
