Hallmark's "The Blessing Bracelet"--FINALLY a Movie that Includes Faith (PLUS How to Get Your Own Blessing Bracelet!)

Did you know that Hallmark Channel started out as a religious network?   Its roots trace back to religious broadcasters in the American Christian Television System (ACTS) and Vision Interfaith Satellite Network (VISN).  Both shared a satellite signal, and by 1993, they rebranded as The Faith & Values Channel. Three years later, when Liberty Media, Hallmark Entertainment, and The Jim Hensen Company acquired large stakes in the company, the channel became the Odyssey Network and slowly phased out religious programming and replaced it with a family entertainment format.  It wasn't until 2001 that Odyssey was again rebranded, this time as Hallmark Channel. Despite the gradual departure from religious programming to focus on light, romantic "comfort food" movies, Hallmark Channel once produced movies with a profound emphasis on faith, family, and American values.

We've all heard of wedding planners, though the industry is facing a downward trend.  As of 2021, only 27% of couples hired one (which still seems like a lot).  The reason?  According to IBISWorld Market Research , increasingly tech-savvy, soon-to-be newlyweds are taking advantage of the Internet and DIY resources to cut costs.   Wedding planners are responsible for decking out the venue and managing vendors.  They coordinate the florist, baker, caterer, musicians, photographer, and anyone else involved in the big day.  They manage transportation and accommodations for guests, send out invitations, and track the RSVPs.   What's left for a professional bridesmaid to do, and why would anyone
