Amazing Care news to ring in the New Year

President of ACN, Dawn West with son, Connor

We here at Amazing Care Network wish you a blessed holiday season! It is the season of giving whether thanks or gifts; hopefully both. The holiday season is my favorite time of the year. It’s not that my holidays have been all glitter and rainbows, but it is a choice that we make on what to focus on. My home is decorated in the full glory and beauty of the season. I’ve even put up my outside decorations this year. Albeit some would say that I am cheating with one of those projector snowflake machines. It has kept me off the ladder for which my son is grateful. My holiday baking has begun and the smells of sugar cookies and gingerbread are filling the air. However, I feel like the best part of the season for me is sharing it with family and friends.

This year my family remembers my nephew, Justin, who has been gone four years after committing suicide shortly after Thanksgiving. We also lost our mom in June this year. Not exactly the most joyous year or time if you only look at those two events. I think the hardest part of death is the huge hole that is left behind when our loved ones leave us. Then, there are those memories that hit us at the most unexpected and certainly unplanned moments. It could be a song, a picture or even an inanimate object that brings us to tears once again.

It is with much thought and prayer that I have decided to resign my position at Amazing Care Network to return to the world of finance. So, this will be my last President’s letter. It has been an honor to share this time with you and may your 2018 be filled with joy, healing and success! Read more in my full President's Letter HERE.

From the President’s desk to your home, make it an amazing holiday season!

"The other thing with Amazing Care Network, the more you talk, the more you come up with good things. It’s an organic evolution. Sometimes you try to move things too fast. It’ll happen. It’s usually a friend of a friend…here in Hawaii it’s the 'Coconut Wireless'. That’s how things happen. That’s how networks build."
