Greetings Everyone:

I hope you are doing well. I am wrapping up my sabbatical and look forward to returning to these pages. As we navigate the unpredictable waters of the financial world and I try to bring some balance to my life, I wanted to share a personal endeavor that brings me immense joy and serenity outside the trading floor.

My wife and I have recently embarked on a meaningful journey by establishing a 501(c)(3) sanctuary dedicated to the rescue and well-being of donkeys and horses. This venture is born out of our deep love and appreciation for these incredible creatures, and we believe in the profound positive impact they can have on our lives.

Our sanctuary is not just a haven for donkeys; it’s a sanctuary of the heart. Spending time with these gentle beings has proven to be a source of solace and balance in my life as a trader. Their quiet strength and unspoken wisdom serve as a grounding force, offering a welcomed respite from the demands of the financial world.

We want to share our passion for this cause with you, our valued clients. By fostering a connection with these remarkable animals, we can create a ripple effect of compassion and well-being in our lives and, hopefully, in those we touch.

You can meet the donkeys at our new website (https://www.WesternSpirtSanctuary.org).

Thank you for allowing us to share this personal and meaningful aspect of our lives. Please don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any questions or want to learn more about our sanctuary. Your continued support means the world to us.

I wish you success and tranquility in all your endeavors.

Warm regards,

A.F. Thornton and Erasmia Spyros
