Compass at half-mast

Hi, all

Elaine asked me to send out a brief notice on her behalf to let you know that she's walking her own talk and has decided to leave the cozy confines of Compass to pursue her long-held career goal of starting up a holistic therapy center (offering such classically Elaine-esque services as hypnotherapy, visualization, and energy psychology). She's taken a short term contract at IMCares (starting this week) so she will be eligible for a self-employment program next year. Although she is very sad to give up the amazing relationships she formed in four years at Compass, she is excited (and, truth be told, a little anxious) about all the amazing possibilities to come. We, in turn, are more than a little sad at not getting to soak in Elaine's amazing wisdom and perspective on life and work on a daily basis but are thrilled that she's taking advantage of all the opportunities available during her one wild and precious life. We wish her only the best of possibilities and thank her sincerely for all she's done for Compass staff and participants throughout her time here.

Elaine, you most certainly will be missed.
