The image features a close-up view of mushrooms growing on a mossy forest floor, illuminated by soft natural light. The scene captures a sense of tranquility and connection to nature. At the top-left corner, a black rectangle contains white text reading, "UU SHARED VALUES." Below it, large white text across the middle of the image says, "INTERDEPENDENCE." A green semi-transparent box near the bottom-center of the image includes a quote in black text: "We nurture and rest our bodies not on a disposable planet, but on holy ground." The quote is attributed to Rev. Dr. Sheri Prud’homme, with her name in smaller text below the quote. A glowing golden line with subtle star-like accents loops around the quote box. In the bottom-right corner, the Unitarian Universalist flaming chalice logo appears in white, next to the website URL "UUA.org " in white text at the bottom-left.

When you support a local business, you’re also supporting your town, city, and neighborhood by way of paying sales tax. The sales tax money is used to support public schools, parks, roads, and sidewalks, as well as fund public service workers, like firefighters. www.uschamber.com/small-busine...

Stone Soup began as a folk story of 2 travelers arriving in a village looking for food and coming up with a unique solution when none of the villagers would feed them. They said that they are going to make soup out of water and a stone.
