A Fresh Start and a Renewed Focus
Happy New Year, dear friends! As we step into 2024, I'm thrilled to reconnect with you in a more classic newsletter style – think of it as a cozy chat with an old friend. I'll still sprinkle updates on my business and offerings, but let's dive deeper into the adventures of life together.
Have you ever found yourself lost in thought, staring out the windshield, pondering the road ahead, or maybe sneaking a peek in the rearview mirror, musing over what's already passed? For me, the past year was like a theme park ride – unexpected twists in my business and, let's just say, my health routine could have used a bit more... routine. But that's life, isn't it? We've all been there. The arrival of a new year, though, always feels like opening a fresh chapter, ripe with opportunities to reboot our goals and reignite our aspirations.
Change is the only constant, they say. So here I am, sleeves rolled up, brimming with enthusiasm for some thrilling transformations on the horizon.
These past few months have been a quiet yet transformative period, steering my business to align with my soul's calling – nature and the health of the planet. This isn't a newfound love, though. My college days at the University of Wisconsin - Eau Claire were spent digging into environmental issues, surrounded by musty tomes and Superfund site data. So, it's back to the roots for me – focusing on Mother Earth's wellbeing.
Digging Deep with Archaeology
Exciting news! I've just completed the California Climate Stewards program and stumbled upon a fascinating opportunity – training as a volunteer Archaeology Technician. Imagine six weekends of delving into the mysteries of archaeology, learning about survey and excavation techniques, all sponsored by the Begole Archaeological Research Center Lab. I'm all geared up for our first class on January 19. Stay tuned for some dirt-digging stories!

1 年What fun you have planned for 2024 Brenda! Looking forward to hearing your stories as you start digging again! EcoFin is a great idea. I would recommend the book I'm using for the ALL YEAR 2024 Commodity Investor Challenge I'm doing this year. If you're going to focus on ESG and eco investing it's important to understand the trade-offs we're making as we move from a fossil energy world to something else. Not confident we are clear on what that something else is - especially once people start getting educated.
