The Fresh Ideas Group Authenticity: After a crazy November spent packing and moving and stressing and anticipating, I took this photo a few days after my daughter and I arrived in Minnesota. It's a shot of her and her grandmother admiring a chilly sunset. It made me feel that we'd made a wise choice in our move, and standing there I felt au...thentically Minnesotan and very peaceful about being in this new place and embracing my roots.

But I look for it every day

Is it the organic apple plucked fresh from a local orchard or a hand made sweater bought from the Peruvian woman you met on vacation? Just as we aim to present our clients stories with authenticity, this chal...lenge will reveal the images that make up who we are and what we feel about the lives we lead.

Kuvy Ax It was also a sad day at FIG as Julie is moving "back home" to Minneapolis MN this weekend. Thank goodness she'll still be working with us from afar! We love you Julie!!

Kuvy Ax I *love* the fact that the FIGs get together every year to make pies for Thanksgiving. This was my 4th year. Truly something to be grateful for! It gave me a chance to learn more about a newer FIG, Amanda (LOL!); and also to learn a lot about pie crust decorating from Sylvia, who has made thousands of pies in her past life at Alfalfa's...
