Helping the helpers.

/

According to research noted in Psychology Today, helping others may “benefit the giver more than the recipient on a neurobiological level.” With that lingering in our minds, Kevin and I had a chance to visit our client's new hospitality business early this year in Costa Rica. Their retreat is in a jungle — literally next to a waterfall, where they get all of their water.

We had a chance to help them fix up the water system and refurbish some furniture. Now Kevin is thinking of creating renewable electricity from the waterfall as well.

We loved being invited by our clients to be part of their super cool project!

Bending toward justice.

As we look ahead to a three-day holiday weekend, it’s important to remember who and what we are celebrating. Join us in honoring the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. by making Monday a day of service to your community.

Resolutions of Gratitude

/

We all want to lose weight, get in shape, clean out our closets, watch less TV, and read more books. But this year, we’re resolving to practice gratitude for the world around us.

CHIC (Pearl)

The theme of my resolutions is love. I plan to volunteer for causes I’m passionate about and help friends whenever they are in need. I’m also going to be more open with sharing compliments and perform at least one random act of kindness for another person every day. And I resolve to only share positive posts on social media!

GEEK (Kevin)

My year is going to center around connection. I resolve to call my sisters more often, get together with neighbors for block parties and backyard barbecues, cook meals for friends and family, take more pictures of the people in my life, go on more hikes and appreciate nature, and sit down once a week to write thank you cards!

Goodbye 2023 & Hello 2024

We faced some personal and work challenges this year, but challenges are part of life. They help us appreciate the things we sometimes take for granted. As we look back on 2023, we’re proud of how we persevered and we look forward to welcoming 2024. We wish you the happiest of new years!
