Sarah Rainwater of Bend Hot Yoga Prescott and BPedal Spin Studio
Life balance often comes as a challenge to meet the demands of personal and professional obligations, and Sarah Rainwater, owner of Bend Hot Yoga Prescott and BPedal Spin Studio tends to take it all in stride. Rainwater has built two strong businesses that allow her to take a step back and focus on what matters—raising her two small boys under the age of three, and enjoying life with her husband of six years, Travis, who she met during her rodeo days at a barrel racing event in Las Vegas.
’Tis The Season of Thoughtfulness
The year is winding down, but not before major holidays like Christmas, Hanukkah and the New Year, which typically entail some sort of gifting, whether it’s a present wrapped up under the tree or a gift basket for the host who opened their home to you on a chilly winter’s night. At Rafter Eleven we believe gift giving should come from the heart and bring people together, which is why our customized gift baskets make the ideal holiday gift for just about anyone on your list.
It Takes a Village
Every year in Prescott, the Daily Courier honors the best of the area’s businesses through its Readers’ Choice Awards. Most of those businesses are nominated by the owners, their friends, or their colleagues, and then voted on by their patrons. The awards are an opportunity to highlight businesses and recognize them for their work. They’re also fun, and they have inspired us at The Launch Pad Teen Center to ask the question: Who do teens consider the best?
The Prescott Area Teen Choice Awards is an opportunity for teens to nominate and vote on businesses, coaches, teachers, nonprofit organizations, restaurants, resource officers, parks, churches, community leaders and others they consider youth advocates. Award recipients will be honored at a community wide event at the Hazeltine Theatre on the evening of April 12.
Time to Celebrate
Since 1992, the nonprofit organization People Who Care has provided transportation and other essential services to adults in the Quad Cities who cannot drive due to age, vision issues, or disability. Volunteers provide services that enable neighbors to stay independent in their own homes and communities. All services are provided at no cost, thanks to these many dedicated volunteers and donors. These services also improve access to healthcare and shopping and replace social isolation with meaningful connections. This month People Who Care celebrates several professional milestones: a new location, a fresh look and a 30th business anniversary.

Building a Cathedral: a New Perspective on Your Purpose as a Parent
There’s a parable about a woman who walks by three men working on a building site, each doing the same thing.

She asks the second man what he’s doing. “I’m building a wall,” he states.
She asks the third man what he’s doing. “I’m building a cathedral,” he answers.
The men are all doing the same action, but their answers show how different they are framing their purpose.
