Hey First name / there!
 
It’s been a while… like a whole year! I don’t even know a word powerful enough to describe how Q4 2022 went. So maybe you can help? In the meantime, that word is what kept me away for so long. I spent some time resetting a few things in business and prioritizing work-life balance!
  • On the business front, I tried a few new ventures. Most I liked. Some are NOT for me (political communications) 😂
  • Home life is turned ALL THE WAY up and the knob to turn it back down is broken 🥵 It’s bittersweet coming to terms with all kids in school, but here we are!
  • Grandaddy turned 90 and I am SO grateful he’s still sharing stories, creating memories and leaving a legacy that we’ll all remember 💞

Everything is Better in Pairs
After dipping my toes in toes in growing Creative PlanHer in 2021 and being terrified of trying again in 2022, the time finally came. We are officially a party of 2 again! I met Giselle through Mi Casa Resource Center. She was a STAR participant in the Professional Services Training. Great attention to detail, not afraid to ask questions and a BADA$$ notetaker/process-driven magician! The signs were so obvious how could I ignore them?! She was everything I needed. We’ve been doing this thing for 4 months now and hands down one of the best investments I made all year!

Public Speaking & Mentorship
After walking away from corporate in 2019, I never thought I’d see a classroom or conference room again. Virtual Assistants don’t necessarily lead meetings, facilitate training or mentor. We do remote things lol Insert the new business ventures I fell back in love with 😍 I am definitely looking forward to more facilitation and mentoring in 2024!

Here, There & There
Adulting had its perks this year! Checked NYC 1st timer off my list. Confirmed Chicago style pizza is WAY better than NY style. Found out Oklahoma City is vibrant and a true college football town!

Looking Ahead
Giselle and I will be spending some much needed time unplugged and consuming unhealthy amounts of sugar! We’ll be back next year fully charged. Wishing you and your loved ones a holiday season full of love!
See ya next year!
