SEPTEMBER 2022

The Official Skinny From Truitt World HQ

As we head into fall, I just want to say thank you to everyone. We are having a really great year in 2022 and I hope everyone else is, too. I am so glad to have put many of the issues all of us have had to deal with these past few years behind us (hopefully, forever).

Something I hold equally important is we are having a lot of fun. I have decided all days are good days, and while some are better than others, it is just a matter of how good we can make each day be.

I really enjoy our staff, talking with our clients, doing our radio show, and working on some new things we are hoping come together in the future for us.

Soak it all in this fall. I hope it is amazing. AND...as always, if you need help with your insurance and/or bonding, DO IT WITH TRUITT!

He Said It Best

"As soon as something stops being fun, I think it is time to move on. Life is too short to be unhappy. Waking up stressed and miserable is not a good way to live."

-Richard Branson-

Proud of Vince Truitt!!!

I can't say thank you enough for the recent article One Voice Magazine did on my boy, Vince and how his faith plays such a big part in his life. I am certainly biased but he is a special kid and a lot better person than I am. Joanne and I are really proud of him.

We have also been overwhelmed by all the people who have reached out and been so supportive, sent notes, texts and messages after seeing the article. It has truly been touching.

Check out the article here if you would like to do so.

From The Internet (Who Knows If It Is True)?

DID YOU KNOW: Noah Wylie and Edward Norton turned down the role of Private Ryan before Matt Damon was cast in the film?

DID YOU KNOW: Sheep have rectangular pupils?

DID YOU KNOW: If you put Mount Everest in the deepest part of the ocean, about 7,000 feet of seawater would still be covering it?

DID YOU KNOW: Sea otters have the thickest fur of any mammal at 1,000,000 hairs per square inch? That being said, I think some of the guys I saw on the beach in Gulf Shores this summer may make a case to change this as a fact.
