doors to public

Salon 31:30 held their ribbon cutting last week. Salon 31:30 is on the comer of Oak
Street and West Ogeechee Street next to Donna’s Bakery. The business is owned by
Hannah Chappelear Weaver and Ashley Harden, with them are Katelyn Yoke and
Brittany Tilley. The salon offers hair styling, spray tanning, waxing, and esthetics. The
foursome has known one another for several years. “About 6 months ago, after we
worked SCAD Runway together, God put on our hearts to open a salon. We prayed
about it, and everything fell into place. We knew we wanted a full, upscale salon where
everyone felt welcomed and appreciated,” explained Hannah.
When asked about the name. Weaver explained, “the meaning behind the name is
Psalm 31:30 which states “Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting; but a woman
that fears the Lord is to be praised. Ashley and I picked that name after talking about
the vision for the salon.”

“A Season of Love”
Neighbors, as we move through the Advent season
it is readily apparent how much we all do for others.
“Are you ready for Christmas?” Is what we ask each
other. We all are making our list of the people in
our lives with plans to show them we care with gift
giving or performing acts of kindness. It’s a good
feeling when we are able to know another person
in a way that allows us to do or get the perfect
thing. We all feel known and appreciated when
that connection is made by giving a gift that honors
another person. However just as we have others on
our Christmas list, our names are also in the minds
and lists of others.
These thoughtful and compassionate actions of this
season are where I would like to tie in the important
health connection. During this commercial season
there is a difference between exchanging “things”
and exchanging “gifts.” One is about the desire of
getting things or stuff whereas the other is about
seeing the value in another person and honoring
them. One is about things we hope will make us feel
happier and the other is an expression of the value
in another. It’s the difference between trying to fill
ourselves or others with things versus celebrating
the value and richness of a person with an act or gift.
My encouragement for all of us is to place our
selves on the list of cherished people. Receive
a gift of caring for yourself. To often we neglect
ourselves with all the hustle and bustle of life. We
remember to do the things for the other people in
our life but don’t make time for the good things we
need. You all are valuable and deserve to take care
of yourself. Give yourselves some time to get some
regular exercise or the eight hours of sleep that you
might need. Take a little extra time to eat something
healthy. Know that valuing yourselves by giving
yourself time to care for yourself allows you to
truly be there for others. If we don’t value ourselves
enough to properly care for ourselves, how will we
care for others? If we don’t keep ourselves cared
for, are we able to give to other the best we have to
offer.
