25 years ago on May 1st—I started my own business, Five Star Creative Group, Inc. It has always been my dream and passion to be an entrepreneur. Over the years I have proudly worked with companies, large and small—locally, nationally and few from around the globe.

Today with extreme gratitude, I thank ALL my wonderful clients, both past and present, whom many I consider my friends and partners in growth. I thank all my associates and suppliers whom I rely on to make things come together. I thank my networking families whom always empower, mentor, uplift, and inspire on a daily basis.

While we have entered a time when our future feels uncertain in many aspects, all I know is that business, growth and success will continue. We just have to figure out the pathway. Owning a business for 25 years has taught me that you have to evolve over time, whether it is how to best serve your audience, the variety of services you have or through advanced learning and technology growth. Even through this time of social distancing, business will go on. It may not be the same, but we as company owners will find the way to be stronger and better for it.

God bless all of you. Stay healthy and safe.
