Wealth From Wisdom January 2019

... Cover article continued.

• In the midst of all of this action, we “showed” our house so many times (not so fun) and FINALLY got a contract! At the end of October, the packing, moving, and unpacking peaked when our home eventually sold. As I inhale again, I am looking forward to celebrating the end of this year with family and friends. May you reflect over this year, and, despite the feeling of having to “just keep swimming,” be sure to celebrate how far you actually swam! Erica Shaw, Director of First Impressions 2018 was an especially exciting year for the Shaw family. My husband, Brian, and I celebrated our 30th wedding anniversary in June. We were able to spend a long weekend in the beautiful mountains of Canaan Valley, West Virginia. Our daughter, Ragan, completed her graduate studies in August at Shenandoah University, earning her doctorate of Physical Therapy. She recently accepted a position as a practicing physical therapist. Many family and friends were able to join us in celebration of Ragan’s graduation and robing ceremony. Her path was often difficult, but to see her dedication finally pay off is an experience that I will never forget, as this career plan was chosen in her junior year of high school. We could not be prouder! My little man, Rocky the yorkie, is doing well and is now 17 years old. His health is fairly good, although his spunk has diminished a bit. Many of you know that I must always mention my beloved Washington Redskins. As I write this, they are currently tied for first place in their division. Is it too soon to start believing? A Super Bowl victory would just be the cherry on top of an already glorious year. As I start my 17th year of employment with the Cornerstone family, I wish you nothing but peace, love, and happiness in 2019! Please stop by soon for a cookie, beverage, and long visit. The time spent with our clients is the best part of my job. As always, I look forward to seeing each and every one of you in the new year! •

professionally. Cornerstone has grown on many different levels, and I am so glad to be a part of that. I enjoy being on a team that is always striving to improve and look for more ways to serve our clients and the community. Some highlights of my year on a more personal note include celebrating my 14th anniversary with my husband, watching my son and daughter turn 13 and 10 years old, spending time with friends, and adopting a new pup! Since my husband and I never went on a honeymoon, we decided to spend our 14th on a lovely trip to Ireland. What an amazing experience! As far as the new pup goes, she quickly became a member of the family as well as my little hiking buddy. She loves running, but I think her favorites are the two kids who adore her and shower her with attention. Hope 2019 is just as awesome as 2018, with maybe a little less rain! Happy New Year! personally. As I wrap up my first year with Cornerstone, I can truly say how grateful I am to be a part of such a wonderful team. I have really enjoyed getting to know our clients. They are a big part of why I enjoy my career so much. On a personal note, I took several mini- vacations this year with friends and family. They were great opportunities to relax, refresh, and be reminded of how blessed I am by the people in my life, particularly by my daughter, Lexy. She was married this fall, so now I add one more blessing to my crew in the form of my son-in-law, Chris. I also recently became an aunt and have more nieces and nephews on the way soon. I am thrilled to be able to spend time with and spoil them. It looks like 2019 will be filled with lots more fun and family. Jess Holler, Operations Associate Happy New Year! 2018 was an exciting and busy year for me both professionally and

leaving the nest. Our son, Levi, is currently working and looking forward to returning to Shepherd University this spring. As I sit down to write this, I am becoming very aware of how blessed we are. I am truly grateful to work with this amazing team and thankful that we get to serve you. I believe 2019 is going to bring great things for my family, and I wish each of you the same. Happy New Year!

Happy New Year, and bring on 2019! This past year was a year of change and growth

for me. I spent a lot of time focusing on living each day with purpose. I have taken the initiative to get out of my comfort zone and try some new things! I went zip lining in Las Vegas, took a few cooking classes — I survived with only one injury! — and took a pottery class. I learned that while I love the great outdoors, I prefer “glamping” over camping, at least for an extended period of time. Over the summer, I took a week to fully engage in “cool aunt” activities with my niece and nephew who were in town for a visit. I moved back to Waynesboro, Pennsylvania, earlier in the year and am in the process of building a new house that is expected to be completed in February! I am very much looking forward to being settled in my new home and take on all that 2019 has to offer. of positive change and introspective reflection. I continue to be amazed at the level of integrity and dedication of our staff. One of my focuses this year has been on figuring out a work-life balance. With my daughter, Eleanor, turning two in January, the hustle and bustle around the house has been a constant joy. I am truly taking time to celebrate each new milestone. My husband and I also celebrated our 2nd wedding anniversary this year and are looking forward to a family vacation in Turkey next summer. May this new year bring you joy and smiles as we optimistically look forward to the future! From all of us at Cornerstone Wealth, and from our families to yours, have a wonderful new year!
