Giving Thanks 2023 Top 5 Holiday Edition
My favorite time of year! I'm especially grateful for our:
- Miami to Key West Daddy Daughter Triumph
- Community Support
- Team Power Plus Data & AI
Bonus Round:
- New Book Favorites
- My Top Gift Purchases & Wishlist
- Miami to Key West Daddy Daughter Triumph - so many family and friends supported my 13yo daughter and me as we conquered a century ride, biking over 100 miles from University of Miami to the Florida Keys (with an extra 60 miles on day 2 to Key West).
- Community Support - together, our group's ride raised over $1mil—and we individually raised over $1000—for AIDs Service Organizations. We've also been volunteering more for organizations like Feeding South Florida and Junior Achievement. You can still donate until Dec 15 to show support. More at https://ninja.ninjaforlife.com/
- Team Power Plus Data & AI - at work we recently launched a modernized software solution for a government client, and I'm thankful for great teammates that allowed that to go as smooth as it did. We've also been sharing some great data & AI resources to get the job done, which will come in handy for future releases.
Bonus Round: - New Book Favorites - I'm on track to read 50 more books this year, and am enjoying new favorites like "Money: The True Story of a Made Up Thing" and "Transcend." I just added my favorite books for this year so far, so you can find that and other favorites at https://destroyobstacles.com/books
- My Top Gifts Purchases & Wishlist - I'm excited for new gadgets like Quest 3 VR with full-color passthrough, but am still enjoying my older Quest 2 in the meantime. Other purchases like pickleball paddles & Apple Watch I continue to enjoy. More at https://welcome.gamerwarrior.com/gifts
