I figured there’s no more appropriate time than Thanksgiving to share how grateful I’m feeling for all of you. This year (really, this year and a half plus) has been full of ups and downs, but it makes me so happy to know that I have this little corner of the Internet to share it all with. I’m so, so grateful for all of you and your support – sometimes it still blows my mind to think that people I’ve never met before come here to see what I have to say!

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again – more than anything, I love connecting with all of you here – through comments, and e-mails, and DMs on Instagram. I’m so thankful for my little community and the friendships that I’ve made. It’s hard to put into words how much it all means to me.

This year has certainly not gone quite as I expected, and has been a whirlwind in some ways and felt like it’s dragged on and on and on in others. But through it all, you’ve stuck with me and kept coming back.

So I hope that you all enjoy your holiday, however you’re spending the day, and know that I’m filled with gratitude for you!
