Thanksgiving is one of my most favorite holidays - and it is so often overlooked. It’s one of the only days of the year when everything is closed and there are no distractions to take our attention away from family, friends, and all of the things that we are the most grateful for. Last year, we had to look hard to find the silver lining after being dealt a hard hand over 2020. Last year, in many ways, was one of the most beautiful Thanksgivings yet, because, after losing many things, we all truly got to see what we actually have. Not things, not plans, not new gadgets or clothes - but the people who stuck by us during the hardest of hard times, the simple beauties of every day life that we got to see once forced to slow down, the wonderful things that were born of forced creativity, and the hope that all we had lost over 2020 would return in a magnificent way. This year is a continuation of that, because on Thanksgiving Day 2021, though the future is still uncertain (isn’t it always?) and we’re not quite out of the woods yet, we have gotten back what we have lost - for me, live music - and that’s something to be incredibly thankful for.

On this Christmas Day 2020, I find myself once again feeling emotional over how lucky I have been over the year. I know it isn’t the year we all asked for or wanted - and I definitely had down moments, where the loss seemed overwhelming - but there were so many surprises and things to wonder at this year. Here are 7 things that I’m insanely thankful for, and that give me so much joy to look back on.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! While the holiday this year may look a lot different from those in years past, there is so much to be grateful for in 2020. Yes, the year has had its downs… lots of them… but there have been some silver linings, and there has been ample time for reflection on these little sparks of light in the dark.

One of the things I am most thankful for is the opportunity to be a part of the Colorado Music Scene.

The other day, I was wandering around O'Toole's Garden Center, as I sometimes do when I need time to think. There’s something about the long aisles of flowers, plants, and trees that brings me a sense of true calm and helps me get myself back in order. As I was checking out, a man approached me from the Littleton Independent wanting time interview me. Here it is!

Last week, I had the extreme honor of being featured as a Trailblazer in VoyageDenver Magazine! This is the first real time that I've gotten to write in depth about Sonder Management, my inspiration, what keeps me going, and why I made the decision to do what I do. Click here to read the article.
