Sarah’s Wheel of Yes landed on Ice Skating and what better way to ice skate than with the Fayetteville Marksmen hockey team?!

Sarah's Wheel of Yes is designed to get me out of my comfort zone and trying new things! We've taken your suggestions, along with a few of our own, and have hit the ground running!

Not only is this getting me out into the community doing activities and seeing places I normally wouldn't, but it's also pushing me past my limits! I love how much I'm learning and growing along the way.

So often I have said, "I don't have a life!" It's so easy to get wrapped up in the day-to-day work schedule that keeps us tied to a desk, computer, phone, etc. So I am ready to get out there and try new and exciting things!

When we spin Sarah's Wheel of Yes, I HAVE to accomplish whatever it lands on! Whether that's eating sardines live on the air (yuck!) or repelling down a castle wall! If it's on the wheel - anything could happen! So keep bringing in those suggestions! What would you like to see me do??


This week Sarah's Wheel of Yes landed on "Ice Skating"!! I have not been ice skating in years. I have the feeling I'm going to look like a baby giraffe learning to walk. So I thought - how about reaching out to my friends with the Fayetteville Marksmen and getting a lesson from the true professionals!

The world-famous U.S. News & World Report "Best Places to Live" list is out, and one North Carolina metro area has been ranked one of the best places to live in the country.

The annual list ranks the 150 most populous metros in the country on factors like affordability, desirability and quality of life.

There was a new leader on the top of the rankings this year (which we'll get to below), as Boulder, Colorado is no longer No. 1.

"Much of the shakeup we see at the top of this year's ranking is a result of changing preferences," said Devon Thorsby, real estate editor at U.S. News. "People moving across the country today are putting more emphasis on affordability and quality of life than on the job market, which in many ways takes a back seat as remote work options have become more standard."

There are seven cities from North Carolina in the top 150, and we'll show you those ranks below, as well as the national top cities.

Coming out on top for North Carolina cities as the best places to live, is the Raleigh-Durham metro area, coming in at No. 6 overall. Near the bottom of the ranking of 150 cities is Fayetteville at 143 overall.

                          "Fort Bragg, the largest U.S. military installation in terms of population, reaches into Fayetteville, North Carolina, and surrounding towns. People from all over the world move here because of military ties, creating a multicultural community in this central North Carolina town. This region of the state is called the Sandhills and is ideal for outdoor activities including hiking and golf. Fayetteville’s location, mild weather and Southern hospitality contribute to the area’s appeal."
