You probably don’t know it (I’m the first to admit, I’m terrible at sending thank you cards and love notes….) but I truly am grateful for you. By simply opening this email every week, you give me the greatest gift of them all – your presence.
And because it’s the season for giving thanks and all, I have a brief note of gratitude here. There are probably at least 19 other people I could thank, but right now this is where my heart is.

Please love on them (FYI – the way to show love on the interwebs is to give a little “like” on their Facebook page, follow them on Twitter, or, better yet, sign up for their newsletter if what they are up to interests you. I guarantee each and every one of these fine folks has even finer — just made that word up — content to share with you.)

• Racheal Cook – for teaching me everything she knows about running a business with heart. It’s more than numbers, it’s people. And Rach is living proof.
• Ash Ambirge – her writing sets my soul free and she my wordy sister from another mister. Plus she travels the world on the regular and that is just coooool.
• Ohio Fit Club – for being a gym that’s about community….and for bringing my incredible hubby and I together over two years ago. 
• Ramit Sethi – without Ramit I would still be charging way less than I am worth. He taught me to own my experience, give it a true value, and go after it in an honest and straightforward way. In short, Ramit taught me to be a businesswoman. 
• Franklin County Animal Shelter – for Bruce, our lovable and total pain in the ass Boxer who truly rescued us at just 3 months old. He’s almost 2 now and we can’t imagine like without him.
• Elizabeth Sobka – my freak out phone call buddy, my design eye, my little sis I want to be like when I grow up. Elizabeth has a knack for pretty with a purpose. Gracias, sister.
• Reese Ben-Yaacov – for seeing me for who I am from the beginning. For being a mentor who speaks the truth, every time. My hilarious accountability partner and my champion.
• Suzi Istvan – for riding the highs and lows of entrepreneurship with me for the past 3 years. Suzi is an incredible designer, coder, and friend. I was grateful for her when we lived close by, and my gratitude remains with her far away. 
• YOU – for following, reading, sharing, and responding. Seriously, I wouldn’t be here without you.

Just writing this list is making me really feel the love, ya know? Who’s on your list this season?
