Sometimes life is messy …

Each year, we sponsor and organize the Auxvasse Creative Arts Program’s free children’s art festival in my hometown, in memory of my sister.

This year we were blessed with sunshine and plenty of smiles for the festival’s 10th anniversary, and we were so excited to welcome more than 200 kids and their families. I am overwhelmed every year by the generosity of our fellow sponsors and the support of friends, family and the entire community. Every year, we paint, we create, we laugh, and we spread love and encouragement …

I am grateful that we have the opportunity to provide this event, and it reminds me to appreciate how much our clients and colleagues do to make the world a better place.

Life gets messy. Things don’t go as planned, and we all need help sometimes. Sometimes the best thing we can do is embrace the mess and know that we can all make a difference …
