Turn a mess into a message

She believes and lives by the mantra of, “our belief are filtered through our reality and that happiness is not really based on external status, but through internal states…”. Her passion is what gets her through the day.

You’re in control of your emotions. Everything in life will cost you either blood, sweat, or tears.

After remarrying and relocating from Massachusetts to Canada, Diane Marie Giles knew she didn’t want to return to the corporate world. She saw this as a new beginning and an opportunity to “reclaim herself”; and today, she’s instrumental in helping others reclaim their lives so they can live healthier and more joyfully.

“As many holistic practitioners say, ‘We need to peel away one layer at a time, like an onion.’ Each negative thought, hostile feeling, curse word, physical injury, as well as our environment, impacts our overall well-being. It’s beautiful to unveil the layers to find the shining gem at the core; one’s inner child or soul,” said Diane.

Diane wants to leave behind a legacy of inspiration and healing, knowing that her own life experiences and healing journey benefited others through her services or literary and music compositions; and that one person saw his or her true potential to live a healthier and more joyful life full of love, as her song lyrics demonstrate:

“Being joyful is being in love.

“It’s the relationships you build over the years that are the most important thing in business. That’s who I am. A relationship builder.” – Trish Leonard

The Bonita Springs Chamber of Commerce is where Trish turned ordinary trade shows into theme parties or the residents of that city who watched Trish organize massive community “house warming parties” because she noticed Habitat for Humanity home owners had new homes but no furnishings for them.

Trish believes in the power of relationships, and she’s spent 25 years building a professional network in Southwest Florida that she can tap on behalf of her clients.

Prior to launching TLC, she was membership director for the Bonita Springs Area Chamber of Commerce, where she Increased memberships and annual fund-raising at many events that she created and developed.

Jackson Country Connection was started in 2008 as a labor of love when Bob and Andy Jackson, owners, were approached by a group of community members with the idea of creating a small pumpkin patch and corn maze business in LaPlata, Missouri.

Because both Bob and Andy had worked closely with local universities and were interested in agricultural education, they were a perfect fit for the project!

On their own farm, the Jacksons had raised a family and were now beginning to watch their grandchildren grow up… but a bit more removed from nature and agricultural identity. Bob and Andy also began to recognize there were increasingly fewer opportunities for kids (and many parents) to connect with local farms and food suppliers.

Thus, the idea of Jackson Country Connection was born, in part to reconnect families to the land and to each other.

“Place is what takes me out of myself, out of the limited scope of human activity, but this is not misanthropic. A sense of place is a way of embracing humanity among all of its neighbors. It is an entry into the larger world.” – Robert Michael Pyle
