Today is a day we give thanks and express all the things we are grateful for. This year the Thanksgiving celebrations are going to be different but the sentiment is still the same. 2020 has changed all of our lives and forced us all to slow down and reflect on what’s really important, what really matters in life — our health, our loved ones, having a home and food on the table.

If we have all of those things we are abundant.

2020 was actually the best year of my life for many reasons and I am beyond grateful. I am especially thankful for my family, my health, my new love, my community, and that I get to write these words for you to read.

Thank you all for being on this journey with me and I hope you have a safe, healthy, and happy holiday!
