As the A.wordsmith team prepares for the start of the holiday season, we’re exchanging recipes, discussing travel plans, and hustling to meet end-of-year deadlines. We’re also reflecting on what tops each of our gratitude lists this year. Whether it’s a big party with lots of family and friends, or a quiet and introspective day off, we wish you a very Happy Thanksgiving.

This year, more than ever, I’m thankful for the game changers: my girls, husband, friends, A.wordsmith team, Burn family and all those who have risen up and made their voices heard in 2018.

I’m thankful for friends, family and new adventures.
