VALUED CUSTOMERS & FRIENDS+

We scattered seeds early this year – a little like tossing hope into the wind. In our garden. Along our street. When rain came, it felt like an affirmation that hope is warranted.

We sent out our usual year-end thanks at the start of the year this year. Clients and friends rained in gratitude and motivation that refueled us as the rain refueled the soil.

We now feel ready for a superblooming 2023! You?

Sincerely,

Cassy and Kirk Aoyagi
