Wow! Summer passed
us rather quickly and fall is upon us.
Okay, you can’t tell from the temperature, but the first day of fall has
officially arrived. This is the time of
year for all things fall: apple picking, fall festivals, seafood festivals (I
live in Poquoson, yum!), peanut festivals – any reason to gather together and
enjoy the cool, crisp fall weather. The
leaves change; it’s just a beautiful time of year.
Change isn’t
always easy in life. Some changes are
good, some not so good. But each change
brings with it an opportunity to grow in strength and, hopefully, in love. We hear about so many friends, family, and
clients (who have become like family too) being diagnosed with
Alzheimer’s. It’s such a sad diagnosis
because the body is strong but the brain is just not functioning the way it
should. I saw Dr. Oz show pictures of
what happens to a brain with Alzheimer’s and truthfully, it was rather shocking
and made me realize it is really much more than just losing your memory. Dr. Oz did say that he expects that within 10
years there will be a cure for Alzheimer’s.
Our firm is
participating in a fundraising walk for Alzheimer’s in October. Perhaps if more funds for research can be
raised, the cure could come more quickly.

In the meantime,
enjoy your family. And enjoy this
beautiful fall season! Enjoy each day… no
one knows what tomorrow will bring.
