A brief letter as we reach the end of 2019
Every year around this time, like clockwork we find ourselves looking back at the past year and zoning in on areas of our life where we think we could have done better. Resolutions that weren’t met or times and things we should have spent more time and effort on. It’s almost become a culture of focusing on the progress we haven’t made, versus on our accomplishments. As we come to a close on 2019, our team has been making it a point to change those tendencies this year and focus on the progress we have made. Whether its financial, personal or business related. We are making an effort to appreciate those accomplishments, as they fully deserve. We in turn, encourage you to take a step back and really think about the progress you’ve made this past year, versus what resolutions you don’t feel like you’ve quite conquered. Maybe you weren’t able to quite hit your annual savings goal, but you finally paid off your credit card. That alone is something to celebrate.
Or you were able to comfortably retire, and you still are figuring out what you want to do with all of the time you now have. Focus on that amazing accomplishment alone, versus what still has to be “figured out”. It might be a big life event, a purchase you’ve been working towards, a trip you crossed off your bucket list or even having been able to celebrate more time this past year with family and friends. These are all things that should be celebrated when looking back at 2019. The best part of our job is not only being able to help you plan for and meet your goals, but also being there to celebrate with you when you do. Here’s to celebrating all of the positive and amazing things we have to be grateful for in 2019.

Recipe of the Month
Instructions: Season the lamb with salt and pepper and sprinkle lightly with thyme. In a very large skillet, heat the olive oil until shimmering. Add the lamb chops and garlic and cook over moderately high heat until the chops are browned on the bottom, about 3 minutes. Turn the chops and garlic and cook until the chops are browned, about 2 minutes longer for medium meat. Transfer the chops to plates, leaving the garlic in the skillet. Add the water, lemon juice, parsley and crushed red pepper to the pan and cook, scraping up any browned bits stuck to the bottom, until sizzling, about 1 minute. Pour the garlic and pan sauce over the lamb chops and serve immediately. Recipe from *Foodandwine.com

Kim's December Read
Wisdom @ Work by Chip Conley In a world that venerates the new, bright, and shiny, many of us are left feeling invisible, undervalued, and threatened by the "digital natives" nipping at our heels. But Conley argues that experience is on the brink of a comeback. Because at a time when power is shifting younger, companies are finally waking up to the value of the humility, emotional intelligence, and wisdom that come with age. And while digital skills might have only the shelf life of the latest fad or gadget, the human skills that mid-career workers possess--like good judgment, specialized knowledge, and the ability to collaborate and coach - never expire. Part manifesto and part playbook, Wisdom@Work ignites an urgent conversation about ageism in the workplace, calling on us to treat age as we would other type of diversity. In the process, Conley liberates the term "elder" from the stigma of "elderly," and inspires us to embrace wisdom as a path to growing whole, not old. Whether you've been forced to make a mid-career change, are choosing to work past retirement age, or are struggling to keep up with the millennials rising up the ranks, Wisdom@Work will help you write your next chapter.
