WRITE & WIN! Magic & Awe of Serendipity

WIN! WIN! WIN!

How would you like to start 2023 by winning an amazing prize package? We thought so.

Everyone has a serendipity story. We know by hearing all the excitement from our Serendipity Yacht Cruises Contest happening NOW. People are writing, entering, and planning to win!

There are many AHA moments, unexpected interactions, paths crossed, unplanned business encounters, doors opened, and meeting partners, friends, and pets, in an odd, fun, mysterious, wonderous, unbelievable way. We see people open their eyes to the unexpected, taking the leap, getting in touch with their inner compass, turning discoveries or happy accidents to their advantage, and capturing fruitful serendipitous romantic and business moments. They embraced the opportunity of the unexpected!

South Shore Harbour Resort Opus Bistro and Steakhouse

In May 2016, joined Thrive magazine as Managing Editor. After 82 exciting issues, I’ve decided to step down as editor. To Thrive’s publishers, my co-workers, our freelancers, supporters, all the countless fascinating people have met and interviewed along the way, and most importantly, to our readers, THANK YOU for allowing me to do what I love. I’ve enjoyed every minute. Please know, I’m not leaving Thrive entirely! You’ll still see my byline now and then. Next month, we’ll introduce Thrive’s new editor, Taylor Trahan Henry.
