Who Do You Love?

Community February 2022

Love is in the air this time of year, and in Chico specifically there is a whole lot to love. From the community and the events that bring people together, to the people who help turn a house into home, and to the natural beauty that creates a calming sense of admiration. Love is all over, you might just have to stop and look. ♥️ For this week’s issue of the Parkway Post, we wanted to share insight on love within our community, the love that inspires our agents, and things to do that can make loving easy… as you read we hope you stop and ask yourself the same question; who, what or where do I love? Here we go….

Natalie Bowen Designs

Natalie’s perspective and outlook on natural beauty, such as flowers, is fascinating—as there is nothing quite like it. Her talent and eye teaches how to bring natural beauty into your every day life. Natalie transforms flowers into beautiful arrangements that still manage to invoke a chic creative feeling, it is almost impossible to not fall in love with her flower designs. While Natalie has been inspired by the natural gift of flowers, find what inspires you and fall in love with it… maybe it’s color, design and movement, or architecture… your inspiration is ready to be explored.

People, Places and Things

Community Love

After traveling to different countries and cities, and living in Southern California it is evident that Chico has this energy and sense of community unlike any other. We are seeing our world change all over, but there is still something special that consistently remains here in our beautiful city. Whether it’s someone holding a door open for you at a shop downtown, a smiling stranger as you pass in the park, the quality of care that goes into the events that the city puts on, the way we have all come together through all things as big as the Campfire and COVID; it’s only given our city the opportunity to show the world how wonderful a community can be. This is Chico, and I love being able to be a small part of the people making this place home, too.

Family Love (& Burritos)

I love my family because they’re always the ones at my side and we’re on this awesome journey of life together. The days are long and the years are short, but we’ve got nothing but amazing memories. As for burritos, they have to be one of my favorite meals! So simple and yet so diverse, what’s not to love!?

Oh and we cannot forget our furry friends…

While dog’s aren’t our whole lives, they do in fact make our lives whole! The benefits of a pet: Companionship and a form of unconditional love! Pets create an opportunity for you to play more, enjoy the outside more often and always have best friend by your side…
