Thank you for playing along with me this week! I feel so fortunate that I have so much to be grateful for (next year I am going to start this game earlier). For now I am going to take the time to express my gratitude for my partner, best friend, and biggest supporter. This has been a year of highs and lows and I am so grateful to have a loving and caring individual by my side through it all!

We open our hearts and homes up to fur babies who love us unconditionally. Our home has had the honor and pleasure of having Kaylee, Stout, and Bella fill our hearts with laugh and love.

While we missed seeing the trees turn, my family and I had a super fun time visiting the sights of Kentucky. Distillery tours, Cuban dining, giants in the forest, baseball bats, art museums, and Churchill Downs were only a few of the highlights on this fun-filled vacation!

Living in Santa Cruz is living the dream. With an ocean in my front yard and many forests in my backyard it is hard to imagine living anywhere else. I am grateful for having a roof over my head and a fantastic community to call home!

What a year for Start Here! I have so much gratitude working with wonderful clients AND I attended my first in-person Photo Manager Conference, graduated as a Master Student, connected with AMAZING photo managers from around the country (and the world), and was invited to give presentations at my local library, as well as online (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aaj_e6NQ4_E).

What can I say about Santa Cruz Sunrise Rotary and Finding Sophia! I had no idea how we were going to build a house in one day, AND WE DID!!!! What a transformative trip. I am grateful for my generous and fun loving Rotarian community!

Join me in a game of gratitude! Through the joy of photos, between now and Thanksgiving I will share what I am grateful for (I wish I had started earlier in the month, I am honored that I have so much to be grateful for!). I am kicking things off with an AMAZING non-profit. Teen Kitchen Project does amazing things for the youth and critically ill in our community.
