Season’s Greetings

As the year draws to an end we want to share our warmest holiday wishes to our friends and valued clients. We feel incredibly grateful for your continued support, partnership, and trust. We wanted to extend a heartfelt thank you, and a gift, in the form of an idea from our founder. (It is the holidays after all.)

“I tried an experiment at the end of 2020. I’d never done anything like this before. It was so not my thing. But, one year later, I can attest to its power. Twelve months ago, I created a vision board. I sat with my friend and our daughters and we cut words and visuals from magazines: things we hoped to achieve, both personally and professionally, and mantras we planned to live by in 2021.

I am by no means crafty, it wasn’t a work of art, but I hung that board above my desk, and I looked at it every single day. On days I felt stressed, there were calming sights. On days I felt discouraged, I found mantras to inspire me. And I never lost sight of my goals.

Now, 12 months later, I look at the board and I’m amazed at all of the things I set out to achieve, and proud of what I accomplished. Whatever your hopes may be for 2022, I challenge you to put them to paper (in words or photos), because seeing them is believing them.

And I’m always an email away if any of those goals are work related!”

Wishing you and your families a safe, happy and healthy holiday season, and great success for 2022.
