Monthly Newsletter for KREIA Members Dear KREIA Members and Friends, With only one page left to turn on the calendar, it’s clear we’ve entered the time of the year most associated with food, fellowship, and, let’s be honest, pure chaos.

I challenge each of you to dedicate an hour without interruption to write down the following: 1) your personal, business, and financial successes this year; 2) the things you’ve learned; 3) the relationships you’ve created or grown; and 4) the experiences you’ve had.
