It's a pleasure to introduce you to both Angela Hasted and Keenan Boliek-Poling. But first, the good news of the week....  

GOOD NEWS OF THE WEEK

We spotted this online and had to share. The video just posted and it already has millions of views. God bless that bus driver who sensed something was wrong, and made it right.  

Do you have any good news to share? Please send your stories to us and we'd love to hear from you. Who knows? Your story just might be next week's Good News of the Week, inspiring others and giving us all hope that there are more good people in the world than what we hear on the nightly news.

PRO CORNER: Angela Hasted

Angie learned how much she loves helping people with their homes after 10 years at Finishing Touch, the go-to place for Los Alamos home decorating. Six years ago she was hired as the store manager of of  Raby Home Solutions in Santa Fe, and she talks about all things flooring related (thus the title of this week's podcast).  A few of the topics we covered...  Tile: ceramic or porcelain? Wood:  real or engineered? Is the advice for anyone or does it change regionally? Can you install engineered wood on radiant heated slab? How much extra do you order? Angie is a wealth of information. 

If you're doing a project small or large, stop in and see Angie Hasted at 2911 Cerillos Road in Santa Fe.  Whether you're DIYing it, or need their expert installers, she'll help you through the process. Phone 505.471.8908.  

YOU ASKED - WE LISTENED. We've received many questions about flooring, so we brought in Angela "Angie" Hasted, a flooring expert.

GIVING BACK: Keenan Boliek-Poling

We can't wait to see what's next on the horizon for Keenan.

After graduating from University of New Mexico, Keenan wanted to give back, and AmeriCorps was the answer. He is now wrapping up his term as AmeriCorps Construction Crew Leader at Santa Fe's Habitat for Humanity.   His gentle demeanor and giving heart also "floored" us. Hear about the national build event, affordable housing, and more.

AmeriCorp offers the opportunity to be of service, earn a living wage while you serve, and then receive a scholarship to use for education (pay off student loans, or towards future education, etc.). What an excellent way to give back to communities right here in the US!  This particular partnership between AmeriCorp and Habitat combines two of the causes near and dear to our hearts - giving back and helping families get into affordable housing.  Win-win. For more info visit AmeriCorps. Are you or a loved one looking to give back here at home in the U.S.? Explore AmeriCorps / Habitat partnership.

Note to Keenan:  Best of luck in the Master of Architecture program starting next month. We'll be keeping our eyes on you, for we are sure you are destined to have a great impact on this world.

​This week's music, MJ's Get on the Floor.  Clever? We thought so too. 

​Go out and BE A LIGHT... at home, at work and in your own community. Tune in next Sunday at 2 (MT) as we make your house a home.

Next week:

​Be Your Own Designer returns. We'll also hear from Alicia and Alecia.  Be sure to come back right here for the podcast. Thanks for giving us a thumbs up and sharing with your friends.
