I’m sailing into 2024 with new friends, new work…and a new haircut 😉. As an Arbitrator for the Financial Services Industry (FINRA), I handle dispute resolutions under the SEC. I’m also working for a finance company in Thailand as an Executive Assistant. I love remote and challenging work! What new directions are you taking or seeking this year? Do you need any help?

I’m flying home from Big Island work and a family Thanksgiving, booking sunset sails and Christmas parties with friends on Maui, taking a little fun time before January and a host of travel assignments. My Christmas wish is that we support our artists – writers, painters, musicians, et al – now and throughout the year. They bring the magic to our moments and the sparkle to…
Another birthday just passed…and I’m feeling so alive and grateful. Grateful for work…for family and friends…for this beautiful island…and planet. Every moment gives us an opportunity to be grateful…and happy. Let’s lean into those moments.
Have you shaken yourself out of winter’s slumber? Launched that new business venture? Signed on to a new project? Working away at your new book? Now’s the time to put out the energy for a bright summer…and fall harvest. Don’t forget to let me know how I can help. “Another world is not only possible, she is on her way. On a quiet day, if you listen carefully, you can hear her breathing.” Arundhati Roy
