HYPLife: November 2020



KALO MINA! WELCOME BACK!


November is all about gratitude and collaboration. While it's been a tough year in so many ways, it's so amazing to see how people have teamed up to make new and exciting initiatives possible. With this in mind, we invite you to grab your favorite coffee and read up on the inspirational efforts of our featured young professionals, strategic partners and affiliates.


This month's issue is packed with material and opportunities designed to educate, inspire and empower our readers. We've prepared a few special events and tributes for November and December, which are included in the announcements below. Our November Seminar will focus on Managing Key Career Transitions and will include essential guidelines to help you transition from college-to-career or from your current job to you next professional opportunity. As always, we are here for you.

A special shout-out to outstanding young professionals...


Giving thanks!


Best wishes to all for a happy and healthy Thanksgiving! Kicking off the holiday season with a review of the year’s blessings: Good faith, spirit, educational and professional opportunities and, of course parea — that’s you, the greatest blessing. We are thankful for the richness you add to our lives, our community programs, and to the world. Our hearts are one regardless of physical distance and crazy schedules.


We are so fortunate to have the strength of each other’s company and advisement in times of strife. It’s such a rare gift…. Please take a moment this weekend to give thanks to those who lift your spirits and to pray for those in need, who often face their challenges alone. Take a moment to make a new friend and offer kindness to a neighbor. Every little bit helps!


We invite you to join us again in lighting three candles (red, white and blue) this Thanksgiving to honor our loved ones past and present as well as the heroes who sacrifice themselves so that we can enjoy life, liberty and happiness. A special wish to the newest members of our homes who are celebrating their FIRST Thanksgiving this year, that you enjoy the day and bring new hope and love to those around you.


Special thanks to the fabulous array of guest speakers lined up for our November 2020 Empowerment Seminar: Managing Career Transitions.



Xronia Polla!
