When we speak of gratitude, we often focus
on our immediate family or the “stuff” we
have. I felt compelled to share with you the
amazing community of people & businesses
that have been an integral part of the
creation of A Life Well Lived, LLC. Without
the talent and support of these gifted
souls, A Life Well Lived would not be. It
certainly does take a village and for mine I
am deeply grateful. - Beth Tiger, March 19,

Over five years ago, Aparna (owner of
TwobyTwo Design) worked with me to create my
logo. I am sure I overwhelmed her with all
the nuances I wanted in a fresh, simple
design but she never let on…. She created
the healing hands extended from the sacred
Frankincense leaf almost effortlessly (I am
sure that is not how she felt), she
continues to work diligently to create all
my marketing materials and I look forward to
many years of collaboration. |

Erin photographed all of the pictures of the
staff and center for this site. I met Erin
after I heard that she donated her time and
services to take photographs of the mothers
and babies at Raphael’s Life House. Some of
these young women did not even have personal
photos of themselves as babies, so this
service was a very emotional experience for
these women. I was deeply touched by this
being a mother myself and taking for granted
the ability to photograph my children
throughout their lives. She was a “light” at
the center and made us all feel fantastic!
Her skill can be seen by the photos but her
talent must be experienced. |

cynthia@cynergyinteg.com As a
small business with a budget and spiritual
mission, I was concerned that PR firms might
not “get” what A Life Well Lived is. I met
Cynthia through a new friend and it turns
out this “wonder women” of the PR world
recently started her business after being a
former executive in NY working with many
fortune 500 companies after receiving her
Harvard Business School degree. She went
into her own because of her spiritual
journey. We connected immediately and she
most certainly “got” the mission of the
center. I feel blessed to have her ability
guiding me through the advertising maze. |

Putting together a grand opening is a large
undertaking and I wanted to ensure that
every guest who came to the center for the
opening felt warm and welcome. I met Lauren
Speciale many years ago and once again,
recently found out that she too just opened
her own business along with her sister. She
has managed every detail of the opening with
amazing finesse as well as donating her
services to a fund raiser for Covenant House
that I am hosting. The amount of time she
has put into the smallest detail has given
me the ability to focus on other offerings
for the clients at the center. |

And finally - Tim Tiger, my
beloved partner |
|
As creator of
Flying Solo, I am a strong proponent of
having relationships that enhance your
already full independent life. My husband
Tim has been my strongest advocate and
unfailing supporter through the entire
process of creating A Life Well Lived.
Offering his “handyman” skills, babysitting
assistance for his step children for the
many late nights I have spent teaching and
working, he has always offered his help in
any way he could while remaining true to his
own vision for his life. I am truly blessed
to have someone that loves me
unconditionally and with such depth. Always
