President's Letter
December 2025 Letter
It’s not uncommon around this time of year to hear people encouraging others to “Finish the year out strong!” Typically, it’s touted from the notion of “get one more project done,” “scratch off one more thing from your to-do list /goal list for this year before it’s too late!” But I’m not going to be one more person spreading that kind of negativity in your life! Sometimes finishing strong simply means finishing, making it to the finish line. Not everyone that started the year with us in 2025 is still breathing and here with us today. So if you are still here, walking the Earth, that in and of itself is something for which to be grateful.
2025 undoubtedly presented unique challenges for each of us personally and professionally. We may have started the year with high hopes of starting a new hobby, shedding a few pounds, or being the top biller in our firm. But whether you knocked every 2025 resolution out of the park or just made it to the end of the year, your value is not found in your list of accomplishments. Your mere presence is an asset to all of those around you.
You matter, the list completed or not. This December, I encourage you not to beat yourself up about what 2025 could’ve been, but to make a list of even the smallest things to be grateful for from 2025. As we close out one more year, know that I am grateful for you, and look forward to serving with you in the new year.
Happy Holidays!
Your Sister in the Law,
Allyce Bailey
