    thanksgiving 2012

    Thanksgiving 2012 has come and gone. Another year of sweet potato casserole, turkey, ham and pumpkin pie arrived in full force in a leave no prisoners kind of way. This year was especially important for me personally. With so many life changers, I am grateful for the opportunity to be in the creative space, my friends and family and my supportive husband.

We usually pick a resort, all-inclusive and usually in Mexico (we tried Jamaica once and it just didn’t par with the experience in Mexico). There is an added bonus in Mexico that we speak the language 🙂 No boyfriends or friends are allowed, just the 5 of us so we can hang together, bring us back to the significance…
