Where in the World is the Live Big^® Glass?

Today, we share two new photos of the Live Big Glass that are each quite spectacular and added another colored state and country to our maps. In the first photo, the Live Big glass traveled nearly 16,000 miles plus 30 feet under water for an incredible shot beneath the Bligh Waters of Fiji. The second was taken at The Fairbanks House in Dedham, MA. The home is special to one of our Resident Financial Planners, Cody Daniels, as his 9th great grandfather built the home around 1636. If you have a picture you’d like to share, please send it to Lauren@YeBu.com who will ensure it is included in our gallery. We look forward to seeing how you Live Big with your glass in hand!

Tis the Season: Yeske Buie Sponsors Cappella SF Holiday CD

As we like to say every April, “It will be time to start planning your Thanksgiving Dinner before you know it.” In what seems like the blink of an eye, the holidays are upon us and tis the season for delicious meals, time with family and friends, and holiday tunes. Elissa and Dave have become involved with Cappella SF, an exceptional a cappella group founded and directed by Ragnar Bohlin, Emmy award winning director of the San Francisco Symphony Chorus. We recognize that by no means does everyone celebrate the Christmas Holiday. But with admiration for their talent, Yeske Buie has sponsored Cappella SF’s first CD, “Light of Gold: Cappella SF Christmas”, which features both traditional and exclusive Christmas music, and we would like to offer a copy of this CD to anyone interested. If you would like a copy, please email Lauren@YeBu.com and she will promptly ship a CD to your home. This link to a sample of Light of Gold will give you a taste of what this CD has in store for you. Happy Holidays!
