Have you ever stumbled and fallen when facing challenges that seemed insurmountable? I’m raising my hand.
Did life ever throw you a curveball that you didn’t see coming, and perhaps you reacted in a way that didn’t serve you well? This has happened to me more times than I can count.
Do you or someone close to you struggle with addiction or mental health challenges? My family and personal relationships certainly haven’t been immune to either of these troubling issues.

Homelessness is a housing issue in South Lake Tahoe and beyond
Submitted by paula on Fri, 09/01/2017 - 12:33am
Homelessness isn’t just a South Lake Tahoe issue. It isn’t just an El Dorado county issue. It isn't just a California problem, though the state ranks 49th in housing units per capita.
And it isn't a problem that is going away any time soon and will take a change in the way the problem is currently being addressed to be solved. For every 100 people who are added to the population of California there are only 32 housing units built to house them.

Wish granted.
Who would you choose: a movie star, an athlete, or a president? You would choose someone important; you would choose someone who has made a difference. Be it that difference is taking you into another reality for two hours or creating policies to hoist our country out of The Great Depression. You would want to be up close and personal with someone who has made a difference; you would choose a hero.

"Pay it Forward Day" at California Burger in South Lake Tahoe

Proceeds at California Burger today go back to the employees. Yes, you read that right!
Just as he did last year, owner Ted Kennedy is having a 'pay-it-forward' day again at the popular hamburger spot at the Heavenly Village in South Lake Tahoe.
"All profits for the day will be given back to the employees," said Kennedy. "It's their money and they can do with it as they wish, but the hope is that they will use it to help someone less fortunate in their community."
