Happy Thanksgiving Weekend! I was supposed to be enjoying the holiday week in Arizona, but sadly those plans changed. Perhaps your plans changed too. Although I had a pretty amazing itinerary arranged, I’m grateful to have a comfortable home from which I can be with family and run my business.
Those of us who own a small business are extremely grateful for the support of our customers and communities who are helping us survive these difficult times. I’ll be shopping my local merchants this holiday season more so than ever before and doing what I can do to help this holiday season like no other.

Virtual Sip & Shop – Join Me In December!
Our local nonprofits have also taken a hard hit in these difficult times. I’m honored to be participating in a virtual Holiday Sip & Shop event in December benefitting Circle of Care. Circle of Care provides “emotional and financial assistance to children and families, from day of diagnosis through treatment and beyond, with programs and services that meet the unique and challenging needs of pediatric cancer treatment.”
How can you help support small businesses AND a worthy nonprofit? It couldn’t be easier:
- Follow the Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/AnnualHolidaySipandShop and share it with your friends and family – thank you from all of us!!

My gifts to you!
Because I know that you are all passionate travelers and love to be inspired, I’m offering a beautiful coffee table catalog called, Virtuoso’s Best of the Best Guide. It’s a big magazine of favorite places to stay around the world including hotels, resorts, eco-lodges, wellness retreats, villas, and private islands.
I have four copies left and will snail mail one to the first four people who contact me via email. Keep it for yourself or gift it to a loved one. Note – the guide is an exclusive item because it’s not available for purchase, only gifted by a Virtuoso Travel Advisor.
If you’re interested in giving or receiving the highly curated Virtuoso Life magazine (also not available for purchase), email me. For active clients, I can gift mailed or digital versions. This magazine consistently receives excellent feedback on the content quality and actionable inspiration. Here’s an example of the September issue: 2021 Travel Planner: Where To Go Next https://bit.ly/3isKuJZ

Come with me – if you’d like to join me late next year on a trip like this one, let me know. The more the merrier, and of course we will travel like VIPs 😊. Details in next week’s newsletter!
💎 Hidden Gem Tip: Thank you in advance for doing what you can to help this holiday season like no other. We are all deeply grateful to you.
Wishing you and your family continued good health,
