January 2=2C 2025=2C Issue #241 ** Hello! ------------------------------------------------------------ Belinda Sandor It's hard to believe the end of 2024 is almost here. The year flew by=2C a= nd what a year it has been=E2=80=94for me=2C my family=2C and our entire c= ommunity! In January=2C my husband and I achieved a long-time dream: buying a charmi= ng farmhouse in Virginia. Between January and April=2C we made 11 trips fr= om Connecticut to Virginia to relocate our belongings and settle in our ne= w home. My favorite trip was driving our eight backyard chickens in the back of ou= r SUV and moving them into their newly renovated coop. May brought two huge milestones: my daughter graduated from college=2C and= we celebrated becoming first-time grandparents=2C thanks to my stepson=2C= David=2C and his girlfriend=2C Jade. The summer months were a whirlwind o= f projects around the farm and special visits from my stepsons=2C Charlie= and Stephen. As the end of the year rolled in=2C we proudly welcomed cohort #23 into my= signature course=2C VA School. It's been a privilege guiding my students= as they begin their journeys to build successful Virtual Assistant busine= sses=E2=80=94equipping them with the smartest=2C fastest strategies to wor= k from home=2C enjoy time flexibility=2C and achieve consistent income. The growth in our online community=2C The VA Connection=C2=AE=2C has been= incredible. We expanded from 32=2C000 to 56=2C000 members and hosted over= 150 free training sessions=2C community mixers=2C and educational events. Our commitment to supporting our community doubled as we expanded our Amba= ssador program from 5 to 10. Our dedicated Ambassadors have been essential= in directing our members through our library of over 200 articles and 800= videos to assist in their Virtual Assistant journeys. Looking ahead=2C 2025 is bursting with excitement and opportunity. We're g= earing up to welcome a new VA School cohort in January 2025=2C so get read= y.
