November

When you think of NOVEMBER, what comes to mind?

Elections and the civic duty to vote

The aroma of freshly baked pie

The push to meet those Q4 targets

The art of tactfully navigating Thanksgiving

The excitement of Black Friday deals

Putting the finishing touches on next year's budget

Preparing for layoff season

The buzz of holiday shopping

And yes, more pie

Early November in New England offers a beautiful balance—crisp air without the need for countless layers. It's a time when you can still plan for the holidays and feel ahead, not overwhelmed by the chaos that inevitably arrives.

This year, we also face the urgency of one of the most pivotal elections of our lifetime.

Do yourself a favor and schedule these essentials now:

Decide when you'll vote on Tuesday

Plan a celebration for that evening

Dedicate two hours to finalizing your budget for the next year

Set a reminder for ordering holiday cards

Block out time for holiday shopping

Schedule your 2025 retreat planning
