Howdy! 

I hope this finds you warm and well. This week of reflection and gratitude will be an opportunity to take stock of what matters most and to gather from a place of kindness and love. It took a lot for us to get here (and we have a long way to go), but I am thankful for each of you for taking time to show up for each other and for yourself. I plan to enjoy some quiet time, to read, dream, and create new work (and take many long naps). Know that you are enough. Know that you get to live the life you've envisioned. Don't wait until the new year to get busy on that which brings you joy. I look forward to seeing you down the road. Light the way. 

Warmly, 

Amanda
