At times, our own light goes out and is rekindled by a spark from another person. Each of us has cause to think with deep gratitude of those who have lighted the flame within us.

Albert Schweitzer

I want to thank YOU, my glorious tribe, for continuing to share your light with me. I owe a huge debt of gratitude to each of you, and I feel so blessed to be part of your lives.

Joy is the simplest form of gratitude. And you share your joy with me every day. You inspire me and support me. You make me feel loved, because you’ve welcomed me into your family, and made me feel like I belong.

I am eternally grateful, and I am always here for you too. Cheering you on as you follow your passions and chase after your dreams. I believe you can do anything. So go out and make those miracles a reality.

I want to take this opportunity to wish you a wonderful Thanksgiving. May you continue to be blessed with good health, special people, and wonderful adventures. I love you most.

I'm also the founder of Susina Cucina, the gorgeous, Italian cooking school I manifested into my reality. I’m obsessed with Aperol spritzes, travel, and mouthwatering food… especially pizza and pasta.
