Happy New Year, One and All!

Dear Friends,

As we enter the new year, I want to thank each and every one of you for for being part of my journey—and more importantly, for being wonderful human beings!

Every January, I usually share some of my favorite highlights from the previous year. I did this in 2022 and '3, and both times, I felt like I'd just had the best year of my life, but 2024 has brought so much more exciting news that it's now in a category of its own!

In addition to finalizing my memoir, getting a chapter accepted for publication in The North American Review, celebrating The DateKeepers' exponential growth, and enjoying our clients' successes in turn, I've had the chance to make new friends through the wonderful and welcoming Steinbeck and MacDowell communities, and I've welcomed countless new connections into my network here on LinedIn!

I've always believed that when we come together and pool our knowledge, strengths, and skills, we all make our lives better and our communities stronger. I can't wait to welcome more new friends into my network, launch more collaborative projects, and achieve more goals together in 2025!

Happy New Year to all! Let's work together to make this one the best year of our lives!

Sincerely,

Itto
