A Diamond of Hope, a Garage, and a Wine Festival.

LOCAL HERO HIGHLIGHT
I’ve seen the Hope Diamond. The 45 carat gemstone has been handled by Louis XIV and Marie Antionette. It’s been stolen, lost, counterfeited, stashed away, and of course it has birthed haunting legends of epic proportions. Today, the adventures have ceased and the diamond rests in a rotating glass case at the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History in Washington, D.C. (…)
The Hope Diamond is a sad, insignificant, unimpressive hunk of rock in comparison to the diamond that shines in Plano, Texas. Dr. Cheryl “Action” Jackson shines bright like a Diamond of Hope… 💎
