Dear Lou, (from future self to present self)

It’s amazing how far you’ve come.

What began with a simple question—“How can AI support my work in CME & MICE?”—has become a full-on transformation.

You’ve built intelligent systems that design medical conferences, automate logistics, and personalize CME experiences for physicians around the globe. You no longer manage events—you architect ecosystems of impact.

AI became your creative partner. It amplified your ideas, freed your time, and expanded your income. You now spend less time chasing tasks and more time shaping vision, nurturing relationships, and creating from a place of ease.

You let go of old limits—beliefs that said you had to hustle to be worthy, fears that others were ahead. Now, you move with clarity. Calm. Intention.

Your mornings start with movement and focus. Your team runs with synergy. Your work feels aligned, not forced.

You didn’t just adapt to AI—you mastered it. And in doing so, you mastered a new version of yourself:
Purpose-driven. Visionary. Free.

"AI didn’t replace your work—it amplified your purpose."

This is just the beginning.
You’re not chasing the future anymore.
You’re leading it.

—Your Future Self

Superbowl Sunday MeatBalls w Grass Fed Ground Beef & Chorizo.
I was not in the mood for Steak or a Burger, so I combined all recipes and added Cremini Shrooms, Vidalia Onions, my PoPs Crunch Spice Blend, GF Panko, lightly browned and then braised in premade AuJus from before.
Result, SPICey, so next version I will tone it down some.

Copied from my site Healthy Haks Cookery on FB

"In Loving Memory of Granny"

Granny Zita born in 1932 was a beacon of love and warmth throughout her 92 remarkable years.

Her legacy is one of kindness, resilience, and endless generosity. Known for her unwavering strength and compassionate spirit, she touched the lives of everyone she met.

Granny's greatest joy was her family, whom she cherished deeply. Her home was always a haven of comfort, filled with laughter, delicious home-cooked Lithuanian meals, and an open door to anyone in need. She was a wife of John for 72 years, mother of 2 children, loving grandmother of 7, great-grandmother of 10 & more coming, and countless amount of friends & neighbours, always ready with a hug or wise advice.

Her wisdom, gleaned from decades of life experiences, was a guiding light to those around her. Whether tending to her hairdressing customers, sharing stories of yesteryears, or helping the grandchildren, Granny's presence was a testament to a life well-lived and loved.

She leaves behind a legacy of love, grace, and compassion, etched in the hearts of all who knew her. Granny will be dearly missed, but her spirit and lessons will live on through the lives she so profoundly touched.

Granny Zita was born in Lithuania, the youngest of 13 children, came to Canada as a teenager, married John and continued to grow her family. 

More information for visitation, funeral, etc to be announced later. 

R.I.P. Zita Klevinas Dec 17, 1932 - Dec 20, 2024.
