Nomadic Matt's Travel Tuesday

{NAME}, ​ Greetings from JFK! I'm heading down to Miami for two days to chill by the beach. I want a break from the city and some warm weather. I plan to sit by the beach and read before heading to Boston to spend Thanksgiving with the family. ​ I spent the last week having a bunch of Friendsgiving dinners, watching movies, and running errands. Not much happened and, after a really busy October/early November, I was pretty excited to finally have a calm week. ​ Today, I want to announce [our Black Friday sale!]( We're putting our courses and books on sale as well as offering blog tech support and business consulting.
