February: a month to show love
It is in your hands to create a better world for all who live in it. - Nelson Mandela
Black History Month is recognized all month during February and here at Novation Title we celebrate diversity all year long. We would like to shout out our personal favorite Black-Owned Business in Salt Lake: Makaya Caters! https://www.makayacaters.com/
Our 5th Birthday party was catered by Roody who owns Makaya Caters. The Poulet Yoganese is so creamy and delicious with the garlic rice! It was a party favorite for sure.
Below are a few other crowd favorites:
Dawgz N Leenks: The yummiest gourmet hot dogs for a quick lunch that is sure to satisfy. https://dawgznleenks.com/
Jamaica’s Kitchen: This food truck has the most amazing jerk quesadilla with avocado salsa!! https://www.jamaicaskitchenslc.com/
Diversion Social Eatery: This all-American place has everything from burgers to pizzas, but a little bird told us the poutine is a side you don’t want to miss. https://www.diversioneatery.com/
Thank you to the Utah Black Chamber for putting together the Black Pages of Utah which made these recommendations so easy!! http://utahblackpages.com/
Celebrating Black History is more than reading about the people who were enslaved and taken from their lives to help pave the way for ourselves. It is about celebrating the Black art, the Black love, the Black joy and the amazing contributions that our brothers and sisters have made. February is a month of love so it's only fitting we continue to fight for those we love. We will continue to push for more inclusion, incite change by being the change we want to see and continue to share love with our community.

Welcome, 2020! We made it through the first week of the New Year and are already excited for what’s to come in this brand new decade. Anything can happen, and we have so much to create! Whether you’re a fan of long-term resolutions or prefer setting smaller, short-term goals, it feels good to start the year off with a desire to change for the better. If you know us, you know our approach at Novation Title has always been goal-centric, not only within our business but in our personal lives and out in the community. In today’s world where we are constantly connected (and distracted), it’s no wonder that we increasingly find ourselves overwhelmed mentally and physically drained. Often, the issues in everyday life are the ones that prevent us from enjoying the very same everyday life! How can we balance this out? We believe we can do better. That is why we are introducing meditation into our workspace. While meditation has been practiced for over 5,000 years, it is increasingly becoming a necessary way for us to unplug from the modern world. But what, exactly, is it? Meditation is a practice where an individual uses a technique — such as mindfulness — to train attention and thoughts. Mindfulness is awareness, it is a state of peace. It is being in the present moment, intentional and serene. It is the process of being aware of your thoughts while also disconnecting from them so you can connect within. Connecting within is the highest form of intelligence and results in proven mental, emotional and spiritual health benefits. Here are just a few science-based benefits of meditation: Reduces blood pressure Increases serotonin production that improves mood and behavior Improves immune system Increase in energy levels Lessens stress and anxiety Increases happiness and creativity Clarity and peace of mind Increased memory retention and recall Enhances self-awareness and self-acceptance Each one of us, regardless of gender, age or other factors, undergo daily stress and tension at some level or the other. That’s why we’re so excited to introduce #NovationMeditation into our business and we encourage others to join us this year. We can ALL benefit from improved mental and physical health in 2020. Who’s with us?!
