HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
We are so ready to embrace 2021 and whatever it has in store for us !

To end the year we asked our staff some reflections questions and here’s what the had to say!

What is your favourite New Year’s eve memory?

✨Spending time with our friends and watching the ball drop!
✨ Having a few drinks and partying into the New Year
✨Getting dressed up and going out for a nice dinner
✨ Blowing on those little horns at midnight and laughing into all hours of the morning
✨ Karaoke all night .... singing at the top of my lungs

What will you take away from living in a pandemic?

✨ Life is short - make every day count
✨ Money really can’t buy happiness
✨Appreciate what you have , because you never know when your world is going to change
✨ Always buy in bulk .... even if you think you have enough .... buy another one ...
✨ There is always a light at the end of the tunnel ! Always remember to look for it.

What did Covid-19 Teach you? Learn to bake,
make, do anything ? Have an epiphany? Learn a valuable life lesson? Anything.

✨ I learned kindness, not just being nice to others. Or doing good things. I learned to be kind to myself. To my body, to the things that I have. I learned to open my heart.
✨I learned a lot.... I took a wedding planning course, started a new job, started more education. I needed to fill my time up, but I guess, what I really learned was that, I actually love my life. I love the people in it, I love the memories I’ve made and the lessons I’ve learned. I love waking up everyday and wondering what I can do next.
✨I learned to seize the moment, run at life full speed and make every day count!
✨ I learned how to cook a lot of things, and try new foods!
✨I learned a lot of organizational skills. How to de clutter my space and get things in line. I learned how it helped me feel accomplished and less stressed


What is your New Year’s Resolution

✨ Never speak of 2020 again
✨ Don’t ever look back, grab your board and ride the waves of life all the way
✨ Eat better, sleep better, and do more yoga
✨ Try 1 new food every week, and drink more water
✨ To make sure I don’t drive my fiancé too crazy before our wedding in November 😂

We wish you all the best in 2021!! Let’s do this !!

We don’t know about you, but we sure think this year was one for the books!

We can’t thank you all enough for your patience and understanding as we maneuvered through this year! Your business means so much to us !

We may be celebrating differently this year, but as the Grinch once said:

“It came without ribbon. It came without tags. It came without packages, boxes or bags. And he puzzled and puzzled 'till his puzzler was sore. Then the Grinch thought of something he hadn't before. What if Christmas, he thought, doesn't come from a store. What if Christmas, perhaps, means a little bit more?”

We hope this year gave you the opportunity to find the true meaning of Christmas and so much to be thankful for!

🎄Merry Christmas,🎄
From your friends at
Gilkinson Financial

** Bruce has Christmas Spirit! Do you!?**
