October 2022

I do not believe that I will ever forget the excitement I had as a child growing up regarding Halloween.

There are events that occur in my daily life that give me pause, as I am reminded why I love and care so much for this community.

On Friday, October 7, Cathy and I were the invited guests of the Filipino American Association of South DuPage for their 38 year celebration.

I have a friend and colleague who is contemplating retirement; I have tremendous respect for how he has arrived at this decision as well as his choice of a path for his future life. Our conversation gave me pause to go back and reflect on my own situation, and my rationale for choosing to leave a profession I loved for a future with multiple unknowns.
