As I reflect on this past year, the word that comes to mind is adaptability. In this ever-changing world, I’ve seen businesses, entrepreneurs, and people rise and fall due to their ability or inability to adapt. The changes in our societal "norms" have at times been good, but some not so good. Among the worst, in my opinion, is the blatant intolerance of opinions diametrically opposed to our own. The rise of social media has brought the expansion of a proverbial modern-day peanut gallery.

But it’s also brought out a new crop of entrepreneurs with innovative ideas, access to information, and more direct consumer marketing. The latter we have been able to capitalize on for the most part.

We have seen the growth of SASpine & CYRxMD in both Houston and San Antonio to a point where there is an even distribution of patients served between both markets. We are extremely grateful to our patients for their trust in our clinic, and especially in Dr. Cyr.

We have expanded Le CYR Consulting's government contracting opportunities and private sector opportunities by adding an online curriculum for schools to assist in college and career readiness.

We even started a liquor business (more to come in 2024 on that).

On a personal note... Alexa successfully applied to law school with acceptances to USC, UCLA, and Vandy on a scholarship (she is still waiting for two more acceptances before deciding).

Caden started at Vandy as an Ingram Scholar and is adjusting to college life very well.

Colton and Ava have both been accepted to TJC School and will begin Jan 2024.

Colton took up competitive rowing and participated in his first two regattas this fall. He continues practicing mixed martial arts as well, focusing on Chinese kickboxing.

Ava is progressing in her coding interest and has successfully written over 100 scripts of code for a programming project she’s been working on for about a year. She’s definitely my little STEM girl.

Steve and I celebrated 24 years of marriage and moved back to our home after a two-year rebuild.

All in all, 2023 was a great year, and we are excited to see what 2024 has in store for us. 🙏❤️
