It's been yet another tumultuous year where uncertainty seems to guide our lives. It's difficult to hold anchor and not get swept up in the swirling winds of it. One way to do that is to pause, look around, and list what is here right now that you can be thankful for. Feel free to reply to me and let me know. One gift of the holiday season is that it presents us with a momentary pause from the chaos, to spend time with those you love (I hope), and to reflect on the good of our lives. And if you don't celebrate any holidays, it's also a great time for you to express your gratitude. We thank you for spending time with us through our email community and anywhere else we may connect. We appreciate all of your views on our content, and your supportive comments and kind words. You give us hope and help us stay motivated. Happy Holidays. 💗 Caroline, Craig, Savannah and Kalyra READING | WATCHING | FOLLOWING | LISTENING - [10 Best travel blogs in 2022]( (thanks for the inclusion Jon!) - Tick Tick ...
