Candace’s Thanksgiving Apron
A few things I’m thankful for this year:
- Grandmothers who inspire me regularly to be better
- My little brother’s sense of humor
- My girlfriends. Nearby, far away, in other countries — I am blessed with great friendships. Thank you!
- My extended families who always make me feel like I’m one of their own clan
- Community work; feeling like my job has a greater purpose
- a church where I am accepted for exactly who I am
- a strengthening relationship with God
- being loved, loving, feeling the full spectrum of confusing emotions involved
- time and passion for creativity and art
- Finny and her little farm; she makes me want to be better at just about everything
- Spending Christmas with my family on the beach in Mexico in a few weeks
- Friends who do great favors, like design my book cover
- Salty Senor, for always making me giggle
- And the superficial: Dior Addict mascara, Tory Burch flats, great jeans, t-shirts, all things Target, Changing Hands Bookstore, my bike, swimming, pumpkin cookies/bars/pie, Sweet Republic Ice Cream, dark chocolate, a good glass of wine, bowling, Zappos.com, great stationery, NPR, REI, and Bumble and Bumble thickening hair spray.
Happy Thanskgiving weekend to you and your family!
With love,
Kelli

All the best to you and your family, close and extended. Happy Thanksgiving to you all.
