From Possibilities to Reality: Save Your Small Town
Quick Note: We are in the last days of the crowdfunding campaign. If you're looking for the rewards, you need to scroll down and look on the right side! Hey there, friends! Let me tell you a little story about this book I've written. It's called "From Possibilities to Reality: Save Your Small Town with these Uniquely Do-able Ideas, Projects, and Success Stories" and let me just say, it's a total game-changer! Now, I know what you're thinking - another book about revitalizing small towns, big whoop. But trust me, this one is different. It's not just a bunch of theories and fluff, it's a hands-on guide packed with real-world success stories that'll inspire you to take action. The best part? It's written in a way that's super approachable and practical. No fancy jargon or complicated mumbo-jumbo, just straight-up solutions that anyone can understand and implement. And let's be real, that's exactly what we need in our communities, right? This book is all about empowering you, the reader, to make a difference. Whether you're a community leader, a business owner, or just a concerned citizen who loves their small town, it's got something for everyone. From small steps like painting murals and organizing events to bigger projects like developing new businesses and revitalizing downtowns, you'll find a ton of uniquely do-able ideas that you and your friends can put into practice right away. But it's not just a list of ideas, oh no. You'll also get to hear inspiring stories from real people who have made a difference in their towns. Talk about motivation, am I right? And on top of that, you'll get practical advice on how to get started, no matter how small your budget or resources might be. I know that small towns across the country face challenges, but this book proves that you're not powerless. It's all about community engagement and taking action, and trust me, after reading it, you'll be fired up and ready to make some serious positive changes in your neck of the woods. So, what are you waiting for? If you love your small town but worry about its future, then you need this book in your life. It's a total game-changer, and who knows, maybe your town will be the next success story featured in the next edition! These stories are from my work in small towns and talk about the people I've worked with, their successes, and what they did to get there. These are real people living in and creating the kind of towns they love.

Butte's Yoga Outreach Project
In founding Rooted Yoga and starting the Yoga Outreach Project, my intention is to give others the same chance I had: to find healing and hope through the practice of Yoga. Several times over, Yoga has given me a way to step out of pain and fear, and showed me how to live a full and joyous life. I believe that everyone deserves this same chance. The Yoga Outreach Project aims to give our community members, regardless of their ability to pay, an introduction to the healing practice of Yoga. Your support helps Rooted Yoga create Butte's own Yoga-Mobile, a mobile 'studio' that will bring Yoga and other innovative therapeutic services to under-served community members struggling with mental health and looking for a way to heal from trauma.

What is Crowdfunding?
The Local Crowd will provide a solution to the paucity of market-driven finance tools available to rural areas.
Crowdfunding is the practice of funding a project or venture by raising small amounts of money from a large number of people, typically via the Internet. Crowdfunding is a form of crowdsourcing and alternative finance. The Local Crowd® works with rural communities to create local crowdfunding ecosystems that support growth and sustainability of local businesses and organizations.
