My children often tell me that my generation is the most fortunate of all time. Why? Because we’ve had the unique opportunity to live and work in both the analogue and digital worlds. This dual experience places us in a rare position to embrace a more balanced life - one that combines the best values and behaviors from each world while avoiding their pitfalls. The analogue world taught us the importance of presence, patience, deep interpersonal connections and appreciation for simplicity and processes. On the other hand, the digital world offers unparalleled accessibility, efficiency, global connectivity and democratizes knowledge and expands access to education, work, and global conversations. By integrating the strengths of both, we have the potential to create a hybrid lifestyle that prioritizes well-being, fosters meaningful connections, and supports sustainability. But with this unique perspective comes a responsibility. As the world continues to change, we must facilitate discussions about the values and behaviors that define a good life. How do we preserve the wisdom of the past while embracing the opportunities of the future? And how do we build societies where everyone feels they belong, where they are cared for, and where they can contribute meaningfully to a greater purpose? As the holidays approach, I invite you to bring this topic to your family and friends. Let’s share experiences, exchange ideas, and reflect together on how we can collectively build a better, more inclusive world - not just for ourselves but for all species on this planet. Thank you for being part of my journey. I wish you all peaceful holidays filled with meaningful conversations and a Happy New Year full of possibility and purpose.

Opportunity. When I can, I take the opportunity to educate others on traditions and causes behind them. Working in a truly diverse setting, but seeing little in terms of seizing these opportunities is actually…well…exciting. Our world is fast. Everything is now, now, now…go, go, go…move, move, move. (Stole that from Daffy Duck) It is important to share meanings behind traditions, holidays, and celebrations/remembrances. Did this for the week leading up to Memorial Day. So maybe it will spark a conversation. A learning moment. A pause as we plan in and around the upcoming holiday. It IS a fast world. Not TOO fast to forget what remains important and meaningful.

Taking time to reflect on the past year and set intentions for the new year is a valuable practice for growth and clarity. Here’s how I plan to reflect and prepare: Reflect on this past year: 1. Celebrate my wins: Regardless of how big or small, which ones am I most proud of? What brought me the most fulfillment and joy? 2. Challenges and Lessons: What were the toughest moments and how did I grow from them? 3. Gratitude: What made my year better? I plan on reflecting on moments of connection, kindness, and resilience. 4. Self-awareness: What habits, beliefs, or patterns served me best and which ones didn’t. Prepare for the New Year: 1. Set my intentions: Instead of rigid resolutions I plan on asking myself, “who do I want to become?” and “how do I want to feel?”. I plan on picking a theme for this New Year and that’s going to be “Growth”. 2. Define my priorities: What is it that matters to me most in this next chapter? 3. Create Actionable Goals: I plan on breaking my big aspirations into small and achievable steps. 4. Self-care and mindfulness: I plan on prioritizing rest and time for reflection throughout the year. I hope this helps you (the reader) with reflection and and re-focusing. Happy Holidays!

Four seasons in the same place Žabokreky, Slovakia by Jozef Morgos Looking at this beautiful picture, one may be inspired to think about the four seasons of life. The four seasons of life represent different stages or phases that individuals may experience throughout their lifetime: 1. Spring: This season symbolizes new beginnings, growth, and opportunities. It's a time of youthfulness, exploration, and laying the groundwork for future endeavors. 2. Summer: Summer represents a period of abundance, productivity, and fulfillment. It's when individuals typically enjoy the fruits of their labor, achieve goals, and experience success. 3. Autumn (Fall): Autumn signifies a time of transition, reflection, and maturity. It's when individuals may reassess their priorities, make adjustments, and prepare for the next phase of life. 4. Winter: Winter is a season of rest, introspection, and wisdom. It's when individuals may slow down, focus on inner growth, and draw upon their life experiences to navigate challenges and find meaning

This job thrives on passion and dedication, and we pour so much of ourselves into making our clients happy. But let’s be honest—how often do we miss out on time with family, friends, and loved ones? How often do we forget to take care of ourselves? We spend our days creating dream holidays for others but rarely take the time to enjoy our own. 🌟 As we step into a new year, let’s make some promises: ✨ Celebrate not just your achievements, but who you are. ✨ Take a breath, embrace what truly matters, and make time for you. ✨ And most importantly, don’t forget to thank yourself—because you’ve made it this far. 💛 Behind every booking, every deal, and every goal is a real person with feelings, needs, and a story. Let’s not lose sight of that—starting with how we treat ourselves. 💖 Here’s to a year filled with meaningful connections, quiet joys, and the strength to prioritize yourself, just as you do for others. Wishing you love, balance, and beautiful moments in 2025. With gratitude, 𝐸𝑛𝑟𝑖𝑐𝑎 𝐵𝑟𝑢𝑛𝑜
