Spring is arriving a little early to Minneapolis this year, bringing fun and optimism as we start to embrace spending more time outside. We were fortunate to have a relatively short and mild winter this year but we have now officially entered the time of year for bike rides, walks, and re-connecting with neighbors. The changing of the seasons is a friendly reminder to take stock of a lot of things in life, happily (for me at least) saying farewell to winter while welcoming what's next. It's also an opportunity for the traditional Spring Cleaning which I seem to look forward to more than my kids who would almost prefer to do extra homework than try on summer clothes to see if anything from last year still fits their growing bodies. Spring is a great time of year to review your finances and prepare for the year ahead. It has also become an exciting time for our team as we prepare to celebrate the 2nd Anniversary of founding Flourish Wealth Management on April 16th. I

Happy Thanksgiving! It is hard to believe with the warm weather in Minnesota that we will be celebrating Thanksgiving next week. I look forward to this time of year as we gather with family and friends along with wonderful food and appreciation. I am especially looking forward to my oldest daughter, Maddy, coming back home for the first time since she started college. Maddy and I have a tradition of spending a lot of time together in the kitchen while cooking the Thanksgiving meal and desserts together. Two of the Core Values at Flourish are to Grow and Share our experience and insights, along with Making a difference.
