I am grateful every day for the warm, small-town spirit in Celina, where community support runs deep. I appreciate how local leaders support businesses, how parents and schools collaborate for the benefit of students, and how residents trust me to assist with their closing process. I’m honored to be part of a place where values, integrity, and growth all matter.

During this time of Thanksgiving, I am grateful that the Lord has blessed my life with family, friends, health, and opportunities to serve others. Top-of-mind divine appointments have provided answers to many prayers. Thank you, God, for blessing my life even in the worst times- I see your face and hear your voice saying -This is the way, walk in it.

’Tis the season to give thanks, and we at Celina Total Foot Care would like to express our gratitude to our employees, patients, and the city of Celina for a wonderful 2025. This year, we opened a new clinic at 205 S. Preston Road, Suite 110, in Celina, and that would not have been possible without the support of our local community. Happy Holidays to all!

At Shades Plus, Abbey and I feel truly blessed to be part of North Texas’s vibrant growth. As we provide custom window treatments and patio shades, we’re often the first locally owned business to meet newcomers, proudly serving as an unofficial “welcoming committee.” From recommending a new church to connecting families with trusted home service providers, we love helping people feel at home. We are especially honored to serve the growing number of veterans in our community and are committed to supporting them and the broader North Texas area. For us, running a local business is about more than transactions—it’s about building trust and fostering meaningful connections.
Frank & Abbey Giunta, Shades Plus

Neighbors care for one another, celebrate together, and embrace local businesses like family. It’s that sense of connection and support that makes Celina not just a hometown, but truly home.
