With another year almost over, I’ve been reminiscing on the wonderful times we’ve spent together in 2023 and all of the years before.  

Each day I wake up, hit the gym, walk my favorite girl, Lola, and feel grateful for the sun on my face, the warmth of my home, and for the opportunity to head into the office to spend the day with my team. 

If our office had a “CURO Wrapped” for the year, I think it would include the following favorite moments:  



1. Celebrating big wins with our clients: well-deserved retirement, the birth of a child or grandchild, starting a new business, buying that dream vacation home.  
2. Lola welcoming clients to the office, solidifying her role as President of our Board of Stress Management.  
3. Moments in the kitchen with our team, sharing snacks and ideas, planning for the future of CURO and enjoying each other. 
4. Attending conferences, learning every day about the world that we live in, and how we can better our practice and our community.  
5. Connecting with friends, clients, and family. Working together to achieve our goals, celebrating and grieving together, and finding solutions to life’s labyrinth of surprises. 
6. Dancing with my team to “I Will Survive” by Gloria Gaynor, a CURO anthem.  



I am grateful to each of you for entrusting me with your life’s work, and for your commitment and drive to achieving your goals. Every day, we are dreaming new dreams, making new plans, and celebrating our wins as a unit.  

"If you want to lift yourself up, lift up someone else."

– Booker T. Washington 

My team and I wish you the very best moments and memories. Enjoy your loved ones, dance around the house to your holiday favorites, and remember to find time for yourself to rest up for the new year.  

Wishing you and your families, health, wealth and happiness this holiday season!  

Until next time,

Marianna
