A Weekly Glimpse into the Sunshine Marie Network Universe

Welcome back to another pulse-lifting edition of The Network Note, where we shine a light on the stories, sounds, and creators shaping our world one beat, one brand, one bold idea at a time. This week, we’re taking you from the quiet embrace of Pisgah’s mountains to the smooth soul of an holiday return, and finally into the bright glow of digital innovation.

North Carolina Connection Feature: Valley Bear Farms The Retreat: Your Luxury Escape in Pisgah National Forest

There’s a certain kind of quiet you can only find when the trees speak first, when the mountains stand guard, when the air arrives cool and unbothered, and when your spirit finally exhales. Coming soon, tucked deep within the majestic folds of the Pisgah National Forest, The Retreat at Valley Bear Farms gives you exactly that kind of quiet… wrapped in a ribbon of luxury.

Spread across 150 acres of breathtaking North Carolina landscape, this high-end cabin is more than a getaway, it’s a reset button disguised as a dream. Step inside and you’ll find a sanctuary designed for comfort seekers and nature lovers alike. Think upscale amenities, thoughtful touches, wide-open windows framing postcard views, and a calm that seems to follow you from room to room.

Outside, the forest beckons with a gentle invitation. Inside, modern comfort welcomes you back like an old friend. Together, they create a retreat where the wild feels peaceful and the luxury feels effortless.

So if your soul’s been whispering for a nature escape, one that blends serenity, style, and a bit of mountain magic, this is your sign.

and let the mountains do what they do best: bring you back to yourself.

Spreading Cheer Across the Airwaves on SMN Radio

The season just got a little smoother. Shayla Dunn, the voice that can melt a melody and wrap a chord in pure emotion, is back on SMN Radio returning with something special for the holidays.

Her new release, “My Grown Up Christmas List,” isn’t your typical seasonal track. Shayla infuses it with her signature soul, giving the classic a warm, velvety glow that slides right into your spirit. Every note feels intentional, every run hits with heart, and her tone… rich enough to make you close your eyes and just feel.

This is holiday music for grown folks – the ones who’ve lived, loved, lost, and still dare to hope. Shayla takes a timeless message and delivers it with a modern smoothness that feels like a slow dance under Christmas lights.

For longtime listeners, her return feels like a gift. For new listeners, prepare to meet a voice that lingers long after the final note fades. And for everyone tuning in, this track is the perfect soundtrack for reflection, warmth, and the kind of grown-up wishes that come from the heart.

Tune in and experience the magic.
Shayla Dunn is on SMN Radio, and this Christmas… she brought the feels with her.

Illuminate Your Space: Digital Signage That Works as Hard as You Do

Picture this: your business space whether it’s a boutique, café, lobby, or retail floor comes alive with motion, color, and message. You’ve got people’s attention. Now hold it. With SMN Web Services’ Digital Signage offering, you’re not just showing ads, you’re creating an experience.

Why Digital Signage?

In our high-speed, visual world, static signage often gets passed by. Digital signage? It grabs glances, triggers curiosity, delivers information in motion, and transforms any screen into a dynamic opportunity. And SMN Web Services doesn’t just plug in a display and walk away, they provide a complete solution.

What We Offer

Here’s how it works:

• Plug & (dis)play simplicity — The system is designed with ease in mind: small-footprint media players (think credit-card sized computers) hook into your modern TV or monitor and you’re ready to roll.
• High performance, low overhead — From 1080p full HD video to web-content rendering, the platform delivers strong visuals without heavy hardware.
• Security-first design — Unlike many Windows-based signage players, these devices are locked down: no open network ports, isolated processes; safe, reliable.
• One-stop screen management — Organize playlists, group screens by location or purpose, monitor screen status from one web interface. You can even check periodic screenshots remotely.
• Custom design built-in — SMN Web Services doesn’t leave you with generic layouts: they’ll custom-design your screens so they match your brand, your message, your space.
• Scalable for serious deployments — For larger setups, hardware like Sharp NEC with built-in Raspberry Pi options are available, simplifying installation and bolstering security.

Packages That Match Your Growth

Whether you’re just testing the waters or rolling out across multiple locations, there’s a plan for you:

• Starter: Full HD support, 2 users.
• Business: 4K support, unlimited users.
• Enterprise: Priority service level, 4K support, unlimited users.

Why SMN Web Services?

Because they bring not just hardware and software, but strategy. You get bold visuals, intelligent deployment, and a partner who understands how signage can be a sales tool, not just decor. And with the brand’s signature “Strategy. Design. Development.” ethos, you’re in safe and stylish hands.
