Meet Ann Simonds, a proud mother of four, a loving daughter-in-law, and an adoring grandmother to two delightful grandkids. Ann has spent her life embracing every moment, and now she’s sharing that joy with the world through a unique project: a collection of heartfelt letters of gratitude she's written to friends and strangers alike over the past 60 years.
Ann’s days are filled with her favorite passions—exploring the arts, diving into films, traveling to new and exciting places, hiking beautiful trails, and building vibrant communities. She loves to challenge herself, often fooling herself into believing she’s an uphill athlete. She’s even climbed Mount Kilimanjaro and enjoys skinning adventures.
While Ann's current focus is on enjoying life and investing in diverse entrepreneurs and rare experiences, she brings a wealth of experience from her impressive 40-year career. She spent those years studying daily life to grow businesses and brands for big names like Johnson & Johnson and Nature Valley, mastering the art of leadership and brand strategy.
Ann's letters of gratitude are a testament to the incredible connections she’s made throughout her journey, and she’s excited to share these stories with you. Join Ann as she celebrates the people and moments that have shaped her extraordinary life.
