Rainbow Valley...All you need is Jesus!

Leslie and I are gearing up for grant writing season and plans for our "Transitional Living" girls group home are in full swing. We are trying to knuckle down and write our business plan etc. The most pressing issue at this time which we want to throw out for any suggestions is...we need a name and motto! Unfortunately our favorite has already been taken by a program in northern California, as referenced in the title of this blog. (Please catch the heavy sarcasm here)

But seriously we've been tossing names around and would like your ideas. Here's the gist, we are looking to open a home for teenage girls to support them and provide resources as they transition into independent living. We planing on having some land and farming some produce/veggies etc. and have some animals for the girls to be responsible for.

We have decided that we like the names of programs like Red Cliff Ascent and Lightening Peak, rather than Women's Empowerment Center or Center for Change. Most of the names we think of last all of about a day before we start making fun of it and decide that it won't work. One that has stuck for a few days is Summerwood or Summerwoods...but we're not attached yet. I think our motto will be something simple like "a place to grow" referring to the farm and the girls in many different capacities. Anyway let us know what you think and if you have any ideas. Thanks!
