Holiday Season Reminders!

As our year starts to wind down, we hope you all had a safe, enjoyable Thanksgiving.

As many of you are aware, December is the most violent month of the year in every city in the United States. With all the hustle and bustle of the holiday season unfortunately, safety often takes a back seat.

I want to give you 3 quick safety tips I would love for you to share with your family, friends and clients. I know you have been vigilant this year, but my request is for you to step up your personal awareness and remind all others that this time of the year crime normally triples.

Tip #1: For Your Home
Criminals love an easy target. So, let’s close and lock our connecting doors in our garages and close the garage door when not in use, let’s install those motion detector lights and although we want everyone to see our beautiful tree, let’s be safe about it. Keep your tree viewable but remove presents from view and put your china out of view.

Tip #2: Safety in our Vehicles
As if life wasn’t busy enough now we are adding in more trips to the grocery store, shopping malls, banking centers, etc., but let’s take time to be extra careful about our surroundings. Be mindful of where you park, how much stuff we are carrying to our cars and remember the 5 Second Rule of glancing behind you when you are walking to your car and remember to stop and take a deep breath in to relax yourself and improve your alertness to your surroundings.

Tip #3: Personal Safety
Unfortunately personal assaults will increase during the month of December. Remember my golden rule, “You are your best weapon, your mind, voice and body. Listen and trust your inner voice. It is the best weapon you have.” So, during this holiday season remember to listen to yourself, trust yourself and pay attention to you!

Folks, it has been a pleasure working with you this year and I am looking forward to next year. So, just let me close by saying I wish all of you a safe and joyous holiday season.

Grace, Peace and Prosperity,
Andrew
