Happy New Year, 2025!

People enjoy waxing philosophical this time of year, but instead, I’m gonna take a walk. Come on, you can tag along. We’re going to the Cedar Creek Trail on this overcast, foggy morning.

I started Hot Springs Village Inside Out months before publishing our first episode. The work began at least three months earlier, and the idea emerged even earlier.

We went live online with show number one 1,309 days ago. While that seems like a long time, it was just over three and a half years ago. If HSV Inside Out were a child, we’d be a toddler.

1,309 days ago…

We published our first episode of HSV Inside Out
My wife and I weren’t seriously considering buying anything inside the Village (yet)
We weren’t prepared to put our house on the market (a house we’d lived in for over 20 years)
We were a year away from qualifying for Medicare
We were 2-1/2 years away from reaching the Full Retirement Age for Social Security
We lived in Dallas/Ft. Worth exclusively

Lord willing, you’ll see some growth, change, and improvement you haven’t seen yet. I have high hopes for our show in 2025, and more importantly, I have high hopes for you and everyone. I’m optimistic that we’ll be able to make 2025 a great year.
