Cheers to a year that challenged us to open our minds and hearts. To find motivation in the madness, to make change, to act more boldly, and think bigger and broader than ever before.

After a stop in Michelle’s hometown, we’re cruisin’ to Wesport, CT, to check out the happy places that make Margaux Caniato, principal + chief rainbow maker, feel right at home: Just an hour outside NYC, Westport, CT, is where I spend my family time and it holds a special place in my heart. It’s a shoreline community so the beach, Compo Beach, is our everything—dinner on the beach, coffee at the beach, yoga on the beach, church at the beach, and play at the beach all year long. The famed Flag Bridge is as charming as the rainbows that regularly…

Music makes the world go ‘round, and the same goes for our office – we’re always up for a good tune to groove to during the workday. We recently switched to Spotify, and we decided to explore the streaming platform’s content by making a playlist of our own. Since it’s a #TBT, we had to go with the oldies and pop tunes from years past that make us boogie – hope you enjoy! Click the link below to listen. VP+C’s Office #TBT Playlist
