The Jeannies at NextTribe
April 10, 2025

Hey there!

This week Jeannie Ralston went to the first meeting of a new S&M club in Asheville. Ha ha. S&M in this context stands for Spite & Malice—a card game. Six Asheville gals were on last month’s beach retreat in Troncones, Mexico, where almost everyone on the trip got addicted to the card game. So we’re continuing the fun here at home and planning our next game night the second Friday in May.

New traditions, new friends—it can all spring from a NextTribe trip.

Fun and finesse at Brandi Andrade’s beautiful apartment in downtown Asheville.

Jeannie Edmunds went to the annual fundraising luncheon for the Austin Historical Society. A local NextTribe member had offered free lunch tickets to local members. Yet another perk of being in the NextTribe community! Last night she attended a fundraiser at NextTriber Lurleen Ladd’s beautiful hilltop home. At the party, our fearless COO had her aura captured by a special camera that reads energy patterns. According to expert analysis, she is tender and open-hearted (pink), serene (blue), has a deep sense of spirituality (violet), and her consciousness is expanding (white). No surprises there!

Just look at that consciousness expanding! Anyone who knows her knows this has captured her open and adventurous spirit.
