I am thankful every day for the gifts I have. I live in calm tranquility on this beautiful Island of Hawaii, even when the volcano was erupting and the hurricanes were heading our way. I have the love of a kind, generous man who usually agrees to all the crazy ideas I throw at him. I am able to do the work I love and am passionate about, telling the stories of others who are equally as passionate. I have my sweet Yoda, who brings me absolute joy each day. I have unconditional love from my family, and beautiful friends, that even though we are so far away, I know they will always have my back if needed. I raise a glass to you.

I am blessed. And very thankful.

In a world with so much sadness, hate, anger, and useless rhetoric pitting neighbors against neighbors, it would seem Thanksgiving…
