Introducing At Home with Micah: A Monthly Note from Lake Travis

I've been thinking a lot about the people and places that make the Texas Hill Country feel like home. Some of my favorite conversations aren't about square footage or interest rates. They're about the boat parade, a new coffee spot, or a neighbor who needs a hand.

That's why I started At Home with Micah, a monthly note from me to you. It's my way of staying connected with the people I've met along the way and sharing what I'm seeing around Lake Travis, the North Shore, Leander and Georgetown.

What You'll Find Each Month

Every issue is short, warm and easy to read over a cup of coffee. Here's a peek at what lands in your inbox:

• The local market. A quick, neighborhood-level look at our housing market, plus a helpful tip for buyers and sellers.
• Hill Country happenings. The festivals, tree lightings, boat parades and small-town traditions I'd tell a friend about.
• A little kindness. A spotlight on the nonprofits doing good work in our community, and ways you can help.
• A friend waiting for home. A featured pet from a local rescue, looking for a family.
• From my kitchen. A favorite recipe, a seasonal tip, or a family tradition worth keeping.

One email a month, never spam, and you can unsubscribe anytime.

The Neighbors Doing Good

The heart of this newsletter is the people who make our community stronger. Each month I shine a light on a local nonprofit and share simple ways to help. Here are a few you'll meet.

Northlake Hope Center The Hope Center is a community-based nonprofit in Lago Vista dedicated to "bringing hope, health, and healing to every man, woman, and child on the North Shore of Lake Travis." They meet neighbors in moments of crisis and walk with them through seasons of uncertainty. Their work includes counseling, crisis care, mentoring, a pediatric medical clinic and community classes. In the newsletter, I'll share their current needs, volunteer opportunities and ways to give.

Lifelong Friends Pet Adoptions Lifelong Friends is a nonprofit, no-kill animal shelter right here in Lago Vista. They rescue stray and abandoned dogs and cats, care for them, and match them with forever families. They also promote responsible pet ownership and spay/neuter. Every issue features one of their adoptable pets, so you might just meet your next best friend.

Brown Santa Run by the Travis County Sheriff's Office, Brown Santa collects new toys and food so local families can have a brighter holiday. It's one reason I love the Lake Travis Christmas Boat Parade: you can bring a new, unwrapped toy to donate. I'll share drop-off spots and dates each December.
