It’s currently 6:25 a.m. & i’m coming to you live from the duck blind. HAPPY THANKSGIVING FAM!
Every thanksgiving, it has somehow become the family tradition to start the day with a duck hunt. Yes, a very early tradition, but also one of my favorites! I always feel an immense amount of gratitude while the sun rises with a full moon. It doesn’t feel like thanksgiving until i’m out here with the family!
Several people have asked me what I am thankful for this thanksgiving. It’s funny because I choose gratitude every day, but thanksgiving is like THE DAY everyone feels obligated to join me.
I have been giving mine some serious thought this year. After all, a lot has happened in the last year. Lots of changes & new chapters, which have all lead me back to one thing: my family & proximity.
You see, after spending 4 years in a different state attending college, I never saw myself back in Arkansas. I went months at a time, not coming home / not seeing my family. I got used to the distance and time + it was the price I paid to attend my dream school. I didn’t realize, until I moved back to Arkansas, started working here, living with my aunt and uncle, seeing my family virtually everyday, how much i missed them.
I am so grateful to be here & be with them. I think about my friends who are off in new places not near their family at all. It’s been kind of challenging because I don’t have that many friends nowadays or people to hangout with. However, I constantly feel so so lucky, because I do have my family. There is nothing better. I feel very fortunate to be around people who love me no matter what & support me no matter what. I know I am back in this place, with these people for a big reason. That is what I am thankful for this Thanksgiving… this place & these people.
I pray each of you found multiple things to fill your heart with thankfulness on this Thanksgiving. It truly is so important. Sending lots of love & lots of thanks to each and every one of you. I have felt so much encouragement as I have graduated college, navigated through the adult world , AND started these new ventures with my brand. Y’all make me feel like a super star & that means the world to me. Therefore, thank you & happy thanksgiving to you!
