Getting Unstuck . . .in Life and Relationships Many times we know the right answer to our problems. We know what we should do; yet we keep finding ourselves stuck. We continue to do what we don’t want to do. At Gracing Experience, we will teach you how to use your emotions as navigational tools for your life. We use several approaches, including Shadow Work®, which is an experiential process that has proven effective in helping people get “unstuck” from persistently painful patterns in their life. Finding the underlying emotional issues and becoming aware of what’s going on at a deeper level, can empower you to get change in your life. You will be free to respond rather than react. Living life “on purpose” allows you to find joy as you discover who you were created to be. What can I expect? Each session is two hours, and scheduled by appointment only. We will start by discussing what you want to have happen. Though we don’t know the answers for your life, we do know how to help and support you as you find the answers for yourself. You will leave the session with understanding and freedom to make choices for your life… rather than life making choices for you!

Irontek: My Three Years of Growth, Connection, and Community

Irontek: My Three Years of Growth, Connection, and Community

For the past three years, I have had the privilege of calling Irontek my business home. My desk here is not just a workspace, it has been a launchpad for creativity, connection, and growth. The energy inside this building is unlike anywhere else I have worked, and it has added real value to both my work and my network.Irontek sits inside the historic Ironworks Campus in Beloit, a space that has transformed from an old industrial building into a modern hub for entrepreneurs, startups, and growing businesses. What started in 2016 as an 8000 square foot coworking space has now grown to more than 20000 square feet, expanding to meet the needs of a growing community. Nearly 200 members now call Irontek home, from solo freelancers to companies running entire teams.The amenities make it easy to run a professional business: private offices, coworking desks, conference rooms, and reliable high speed internet. But what sets Irontek apart is the community. On any given day, you will meet people working in tech, design, marketing, finance, health, and many other industries. Those daily conversations and connections are what give Irontek its spark. It is a place where ideas and opportunities naturally cross paths.In my own experience, being here has opened doors I would not have found otherwise. I have built relationships, found collaborations, and drawn inspiration from watching others chase their goals. It is a reminder that no one builds a business alone, and having a community behind you makes the journey better.For anyone looking for a place to focus, grow, and belong, I highly recommend Irontek. It is more than just office space, it is a place that feels like home for your business.To explore memberships, see the campus, and learn more about what makes Irontek such a valuable resource, visit irontek.co.

This family-owned spot is known for serving up hot meals made with care, and it’s quickly becoming a favorite among locals.I recently visited their Orfordville location and had an amazing experience.

The chicken was perfectly cooked and seasoned, the fries were fresh and crunchy, and the shaved ice was the perfect sweet finish. Even the smoothie was refreshing and full of flavor. For around seven to eight dollars, it was a full meal that not only satisfied my hunger but also felt like a great value.What makes this location stand out is not just the food, but the passion behind it. The owner is known in the Stateline area for her exceptional cooking skills, and it shows in every meal.

PJ’s Corner Bar: Keeping the Spirit of Davis Alive

When I stopped into PJ’s Corner Bar in Davis, it quickly became clear why this place matters so much to the community. PJ’s isn’t just another bar. It is a spot filled with history, good food, and energy that keeps people coming back.The story starts with Peter, the current owner. He used to come here when the bar was under the previous owner, but when he learned it was going to close, he decided to step in. His goal was simple: to keep a local bar alive for Davis and ensure the community always had a place to enjoy.Today, PJ’s offers exactly that. The menu may not be pages long, but everything they serve is spot on. I tried the wings and they were excellent. Other favorites include the bacon chicken wrap and the portobello mushroom. Pair that with a cold draft beer or one of their cocktails, and you’re set.What makes PJ’s stand out is the atmosphere and activities. Inside, you will find pool tables, darts, slots, and plenty of space to kick back. Outside, the patio is a great spot for warmer weather, complete with room to play bags. The patio also doubles as a private event space, complete with its own bar and sound booth, making it perfect for birthdays, guys’ nights, or even car club meetups.The weekly events keep things fresh and fun. Trivia on Mondays, bingo on Thursdays, karaoke on Saturdays, along with Wednesday drawings, Friday beer buckets, and a Queen of Hearts draw, all bring people together.PJ’s Corner Bar may have been close to disappearing, but thanks to Peter’s passion, it is thriving. It’s more than a bar in Davis. It is a gathering place that keeps the spirit of the town alive.

DeeDee’s Main Street Coffee & Decor Serves Up Fall Flavors and Community Vibes in Rockton

As autumn settles over the Rock River Valley, one of downtown Rockton’s cozy corners has become a go-to stop for seasonal sips and friendly faces. DeeDee’s Main Street Coffee & Decor, located at 101 W. Main Street, is making its mark with a mix of craft coffee, home décor touches, and an atmosphere that encourages conversation.The shop’s journey began in 2020 when owners saw an opportunity in a vacant storefront right in Rockton’s historic Main Street district. They partnered with Snowdrift Coffee, a local small-batch roaster, to supply the beans that fuel their offerings. What started as a dream has grown into a space where locals and visitors alike come for more than just coffee.Inside, you’ll find an inviting mix of café and décor — a place where you can sip your drink while perusing items to freshen up your home. Their menu reflects that dual identity, offering everything from cold brew and specialty lattes to bakery items and whole-bean bags.During a recent visit, I sampled two of DeeDee’s fall favorites: a cold apple cider and a pumpkin cold brew topped with cold foam and a dusting of cinnamon. The apple cider delivered crisp, refreshing notes of apple, while the pumpkin cold brew was smooth and rich, with a subtle creaminess from the foam and a warming spice from the cinnamon. Both drinks stood out for their balance — not overly sweet, but full of seasonal character.DeeDee’s doesn’t stop there. Their menu includes a wide array of flavored coffees, teas, blended drinks, and baked goods — with options for dairy alternatives, sugar-free syrups, and add-ons like cold foam, flavor shots, and whipped cream. Donuts, muffins, cookies, and even breakfast sandwiches round out their offerings.What really sets DeeDee’s apart is the people. The staff greet you by name or strike up a conversation if you’re a newcomer. It’s common to see familiar faces or find yourself chatting with a stranger — conversations start easily here. That warm, neighborly atmosphere is exactly what keeps customers returning.The shop’s hours expand on most weekdays, and its social media presence reflects an engaged, local audience. On community guides, DeeDee’s is praised as a “beloved spot” for its friendly service and cozy environment.In small towns, places like DeeDee’s do more than serve drinks — they give people a reason to slow down, meet their neighbors, and enjoy the everyday. At a time when many coffee chains prioritize efficiency and scale, DeeDee’s sticks to a more personal model. Their focus on craft coffee, thoughtful menu options, and décor that makes the space feel like home helps set them apart.If you’re in the Rockton area and in the mood for a warm, inviting fall drink — or just a place to sit, reflect, and talk — DeeDee’s Main Street Coffee & Decor is worth a stop.

Exploring Historic Attractions Museum in Roscoe, Illinois

When it comes to hidden gems in the Stateline area, Historic Attractions Museum in Roscoe, Illinois, is one of those places you could spend hours inside and still not see everything. Covering more than 80,000 square feet, the museum is filled with history, pop culture, and artifacts that you just don’t find anywhere else.I recently had the chance to take a tour of the museum and highlight some of my favorite exhibits. What struck me right away was the variety. This isn’t a place focused on just one type of history—it’s an immersive walk through decades of culture, politics, entertainment, and world events.One of the museum’s signature collections is the world’s largest display of presidential and world-leader limousines. Walking past these vehicles feels like stepping into history itself. Alongside the cars, you’ll find rare Kennedy family memorabilia that connects directly to one of America’s most iconic families.Music lovers will appreciate the extensive Elvis Presley collection, which includes costumes, personal items, and accessories. It’s a chance to see the King of Rock and Roll’s story from a different perspective—up close and personal.Fans of movies and television won’t be disappointed either. The museum showcases famous vehicles like the Batmobile and the Ghostbusters car. There’s also the legendary Bigfoot monster truck on display, along with high-speed boats and other vehicles that shaped pop culture.The exhibits go beyond entertainment. Visitors can explore Egyptian artifacts, rare antique clocks, and powerful displays from World War II, covering both Allied and Axis memorabilia. Each section of the museum feels like stepping into a different chapter of the past.Some of my favorite stops included Gangster Land and Frontier Land, both packed with authentic items from those eras. The museum also features a moving 9/11 Memorial, a Hall of Christ, and a NASA space exhibit that captures the wonder of exploration.What makes this museum special is the number of rare and surprising items you won’t see anywhere else. A few standouts include Jesse James’ revolver, a piece of JFK’s birthday cake from the famous Marilyn Monroe concert, and displays that connect deeply to both local and national history.Historic Attractions Museum isn’t just about looking at artifacts—it’s about experiencing the stories behind them. Whether you’re a history buff, a fan of pop culture, or simply curious about the world, there’s something here for you.If you’re looking for a day trip that will keep you engaged and inspired, make sure to add Historic Attractions Museum in Roscoe to your list. It’s a place where every room tells a story, and every artifact has a voice.
