NOTE FROM STACY

Hello and Welcome Fall!

This time of year brings back so many wonderful memories for me. As some of you have heard on our "Career Chat" calls, I actually started my career in sales at age 5 selling pumpkins from our family garden. My sister and I would fill our red wagon with pumpkins and a bath scale, wandering through our neighborhood selling our wares for 3 cents a pound. As this colorful season arrives and those bright orange pumpins make their bold appearance, my heart comes alive again with those fun childhood moments.

I hope the beautiful icons and shades of fall awaken your spirit, bringing back fond memories for you, too!

"The leaves had a wonderful frolic.
They danced to the wind’s loud song.
They whirled, and they floated, and scampered.
They circled and flew along." - Anonymous

Enjoy, Stacy
