Happy New Year! Welcome to 2024!
As we begin this year, I hope that you find it full of grace, kindness, hope, and possibility.
We each have to decide what our outlook will be, not just in the New Year, but as we wake every day. Choose to tackle the day with ferocity and remember that each moment is a new opportunity to restart if we slip along the way. Grant yourself the grace to know that a misstep is not the end, it’s the chance to start anew and continue the journey from where you left off.
Some people make “resolutions,” others set “goals,” whatever your preference, include grace in them. We see a lot of bitterness in the world today, but this isn’t the whole reality. For every bit of ugliness presented to us, there are plenty of great things happening out there that go unspoken.
Even if it’s in your small corner of the world, make kindness a priority. If we approach this idea with the mindset of one big team, and each of us individually uses our time to spread kindness, then we have succeeded as a whole.
Hope without action means nothing... I offer hope in terms of seeing things with the eyes wide open and shooting for the stars, all while working diligently towards making those hopes a reality. Hope, work, and forward momentum will carry us through this year and get some great things accomplished along the way. I aim to call on our neighbors to help us in achieving those hopes, that both we and they have, and creating a better-knit community, once again.
While the beginning of a new year is when we have a renewed sense of what the world has to offer and we see the possibilities with clear vision, don’t discount the fact that every day is a chance to see those same possibilities. Maintaining existing relationships, renewing old ones, finding new interests, feeding a creative mind... all of these are products of “possibility”... we just have to see it. Let’s find ways to see the possibilities ahead of us!
I look forward to this year, the opportunities, and inevitable challenges, it will bring because I know that through it all we will be stronger for it. Let’s get back to the basics and let grace, kindness, hope, and possibility guide our hearts, minds, and hands in 2024 and beyond!

Crownwoodies should begin to prepare for the road work that is coming to your street in the near future. If you have cars, trucks, RVS, or trailers parked in your driveway that extend over the driveway apron/sidewalk or are parked in the street at the curb, you will need to move these cars in another location when work begins. FRIENDLY REMINDER: Your front yard is NOT recommended for parking these vehicles. Remember, your sewer and water lines are running through your front yard and the extra weight might lead to expensive repairs.
In addition, keep in mind that the project includes the installation of 5 foot wide sidewalks. This means that they will be cutting in further into your front yard because the existing walkways are less than 5 foot wide. If you have shrubs and flowerbeds that run along the sidewalks, these will be removed to make room for the new ones.
One of the healthiest and most magnificent lawns over the years is cared for by Frank Vitale. How does he maintain such a beautiful yard? The secret is in the sprayer he regularly uses after mowing his lawn.
You too can have a gorgeous yard by following this easy recipe.
In a hose-end sprayer add:
1 old golf ball
1 can cheap beer
4 oz. lemon dish soap
Fill the rest of the sprayer with lemon ammonia
Apply within 24 hours of cutting your lawn & AFTER it has been watered.
Most of the front lawns in Crownwood will require 2 to 3 sprayer full each time the elixir is applied.
Crownwood Subdivision is HOME, SWEET, HOME!
Volunteers are so very appreciated.
