How would you define a power couple? 

In my opinion, a power couple is two highly successful people in their respective careers who work together as a team. They have a great impact on their community because they are role models and leaders. Also, they inspire others with their drive, dedication, and success, both individually and as a couple. They are talented enough on their own but become a powerful duo when they combine their abilities. Finally, they have a teammate mindset — a “we” instead of a “me” mentality. 

Some of the most integral people in Lake and Sumter counties are joined in holy matrimony. And we’re extremely excited to feature them in this month’s issue. Chances are, you likely know or have met one or more of these couples. They are living proof that you can have a successful marriage while balancing demanding careers and philanthropic endeavors. 

In our other feature this month, we’re encouraging you to spread holiday cheer by shopping locally instead of driving to Orlando’s malls and outlet stores. There are plenty of unique local shops where you can buy the perfect gift for family and friends. Our staff spent numerous days combing every inch of Lake and Sumter counties to make a comprehensive gift guide that covers everything imaginable — from home décor and jewelry to specialty items and stocking stuffers.  

I truly hope everyone has a wonderful holiday season and creates memorable moments with their loved ones. We’ll soon be putting 2023 in the rearview mirror and look forward to a fresh start in 2024. 

God bless and Merry Christmas.

Sincerely,

Kendra
