Greetings!
It's the time of year we give thanks to the abundance that we have in our lives. Where we focus on what is truly important and share our appreciation for the relationships that we value. The devastation from Hurricane Sandy makes this reflection all the more poignant. We would like to thank you, our clients and our friends, for your support and the community that you have helped us create.
This quarter's newsletter is dedicated to a long time client who recently passed. His contribution to the world included a life long commitment to strengthening the leadership of non-profit organizations. He was a warrior in his life and in his career and will be missed.
We would like to thank Sam Hull, Northstar's founder, friend and client for his article that chronicles his journey in retirement "Life on the Other Side". An amazing account of how he overcame physical and emotional challenges to begin living the life that he and his wife Joan have always dreamed about! Read his story in the link below.
Recently, Kristina attended an inspirational workshop that we'd like to share with you. The presentation (and book) is titled "It's not about the hike." The story is of two ordinary, middle aged women who started taking short walks together around their neighborhood which led them on an amazing journey neither of them expected. They have climbed over 244 mountains together and have the distinction of having hiked all of the 67 4,000 ft mountains in New England. The talk was so inspirational, we had to buy the book. It truly isn't about the hike. Their tale is about finding the courage to take risks, try something new and how they found themselves learning and growing while spending time together out in the beauty of nature. It's also a story about overcoming adversity and achieving your dreams. Their website is full of hike reports, inspirational stories and information about upcoming presentations. We would encourage you to curl up on a cold winter's evening and enjoy this read!
