Thanksgiving . . .

Thanksgiving is probably my favorite holiday: good food, loved ones near, and a reminder to muse on what I'm grateful for.

This year I am thankful for my CONNECTIONS - I can count literally hundreds of people who have made my life brighter.

I'm also thankful for the gift of TIME: this year I've been stepping back from the hustle of a "normal" life in order to work on writing my memoir, "The Stretch Project." I sort of believed that I would put my life on hold in order to write about what I've learned so far. I didn't realize how much I would learn while writing it . . . and I haven't even gotten very far into my year yet!
