A Thank You, From Me to You

• We’ve reached the last day on the calendar once again. We’ve made another trip around the sun. We’ve all gotten a year older. We’ve loved, we’ve lost. We’ve celebrated together and mourned together. We’ve made new friends, learned new things, made new memories. I want to take a minute and thank you for allowing me to part of your professional, and in some cases, personal lives this year. Without your support, this would be a very lonely platform and that is something I want to make sure you know that I never take for granted. The most important gift we can give someone is the gift of our time, and you have given me a lot of your time this year. For that, I thank you. Here is a look at 2024, by the numbers.
