Goldleaf Surety Wishes You a Happy Thanksgiving
Thanksgiving has always been one of my favorite holidays. I think because its sole purpose is to set aside time to be with family and friends - to be thankful for each other and all the blessings in our life. For as long as I can remember in our home, it is a day to tell family stories, laugh, overeat, watch football, play cards and take in a movie. Those are the things that make for a happy Thanksgiving for me. This year, I asked Goldleaf’s family to share their answer to the question … [Read more...]
Don’t Let Bonds Scare You
Halloween brings to mind trick-or-treating, Jack-O’-Lanterns, goblins, ghosts, ghouls, witches, bats and black cats. It has always been a holiday filled with mystery, magic and superstition. The holiday originated through the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain. The festival was to mark the end of the summer harvest and the beginning of the dark, cold winter to come – a season strongly associated with death. The night of October 31st, the Celts believed that ghosts of the dead returned to … [Read more...]

Celebrate Smile Power Day
June 15th is the day we observe National Smile Power Day. This is a day for everyone to share the power of the smile. Growing up, one of my mom’s favorite sayings was that it takes more muscles to frown than it does to smile. And I know it was one I used on my own children now and again. But somehow over the years we tend to forget this. Babies smile about 400 times a day, while the average adult only smiles 20 times. And, we are the only creatures on the planet that can smile. … [Read more...]
