✨ The August Issue of Alpharetta Neighbors Has Arrived! ✨

We're excited to introduce our August cover feature, "From Florence to Alpharetta: The Qilafis' Journey of Family, Food and Community."

Jessi and Brooke Qilafi's story is one of love, perseverance, entrepreneurship, and the pursuit of community. From meeting in Florence, Italy, to building a life in Alpharetta and opening Fiorenza Italian, they've brought a little piece of Tuscany to our city while embracing everything that makes Alpharetta such a special place to call home.

Their journey is a beautiful reminder that the best communities are built through connection, family, and the people who choose to invest their hearts right here.

A special thank you to Silvia Adams Morphotography, LLC for once again capturing such stunning images for this month's cover and feature story. Your talent and eye for storytelling through photography continue to make every issue shine!

As we welcome August, we also want to wish all of our students, teachers, administrators, and families a safe, successful, and happy start to the new school year. Here's to new beginnings, exciting opportunities, and another wonderful month in our Alpharetta community.

✨ July Expert Contributor Spotlight ✨

Sometimes the hardest battles are the ones no one else can see.

In this month's Alpharetta Neighbors, our Expert Contributor Shelley Deady, Good Therapy, LMFT, EMDR-C, owner of Good Therapy, LLC, shares an insightful article, "When the Past Won't Stay in the Past: How EMDR Helps the Brain Heal."

Many people live with anxiety, trauma, PTSD, or emotional patterns they can't seem to break—often without realizing their nervous system is still carrying the weight of past experiences. In this article, Shelley explains how EMDR therapy helps the brain process and heal trauma, allowing people to move beyond survival mode and reclaim peace, confidence, and hope.

Whether you're personally struggling or know someone who is, this is an article worth reading.

Thank you, Shelley, for sharing your expertise and for the compassionate work you do to help individuals and families in our community heal.

The Most Effective Marketing Doesn't Just Generate Leads—It Creates Preference.

When homeowners need a plumber, remodeler, roofer, or landscaper, they rarely choose a company they've never heard of.

They choose the business they recognize.
The one they've seen.
The one they trust.

That's why combining the power of Alpharetta Neighbors Magazine with strategic local digital marketing is so effective.

📖 Consistent print exposure builds credibility
📱 Digital visibility reinforces your message
🏡 Community presence creates familiarity
⭐ Familiarity creates trust
📞 Trust creates calls

By the time a homeowner needs your service, you've already influenced the decision.

Don't just advertise.
Become the trusted local brand homeowners think of first.

I'd love to show you how an omnipresence strategy can help your business dominate your target neighborhoods.
