President’s Message - January 2024

Happy New Year 2024!

'‘I hope 2024 is a happy and healthy one for everyone. Let’s be grateful for a chance at another fresh start, renewed energies and an optimistic outlook for the new year ahead.

I’ve taken a look at the long list of projects that I wanted to get done in 2023 and realized that like real life, our priorities shift and change as the year unfolds.

What might have seemed like “top priority” in our personal lives or project goals may have moved down on the list or forgotten entirely when something that changes those plans happened unexpectedly. That’s ok. I think that we are all capable of pivoting when the need arises. Whether it’s with lists or journals to keep us organized, or friends that help us stay focused along the way, we just need to keep our goals on the horizon. Many of my 2023 goals were achieved, some were scrapped and some were moved to my 2024 list.

I am grateful for everything that I was able to accomplish and for everything that I learned in 2023. As always, I have high expectations and a long wish list for 2024 even though I know things don’t always turn out exactly as planned. My wish for all of you is that you are able to do what brings you joy and peace in 2024 even if it’s not what you envisioned.”

Sincerely,

Barbara
