Today it’s Veterans Day in the United States, and I’ve been thinking a lot about those who have served, and are currently serving in our military. If you have served, or are a military family member: thank you for your service! It is a selfless act that keeps us all safe at home, and it does not go unnoticed.
My friend Courtney is former Army Engineer Captain, Combat Veteran and Bronze Star Medal Recipient who served in Afghanistan. She’s also an incredible entrepreneur, owns multiple businesses, is a kick-ass personal trainer, and is the founder of DropZone – Veteran’s Resources Vetted by Vets. Please watch her story here!

One of the assignments I wrote for my fall wellness program was to go to sleep early – whatever that means to you – and I’m intent on sticking with it! So I have four minutes to post a few things that I’m thankful for tonight.
- The new Nigella Lawson new cookbook – Simply Nigella. I made a lovely pea and broccoli soup tonight straight out of the cookbook. It had just a handful of ingredients – water, mint, garlic, peas, and broccoli, and tasted bright and virtuous.
- Extended cuddle time with the pup. He’s such a joy to have around.
- I’ve started using my Lowel Ego photography light as a makeshift light therapy box. Even just having it on through dinner made such a difference! I don’t want to burn out the bulbs, but I’ll definitely be using it more often to pep myself up on grey days.
- Dark chocolate covered orange peels from Istanbul. I only have a handful of these perfect treats left, and I’ve been rationing them wisely.
- Fun reading. I’ve really been enjoying the new Salander novel.

We watched Inside Out after dinner tonight. We actually spent the $5.99 to rent it on our cable box, and it was worth it.
You guys. This movie. ALL OF THE FEELS.
If you watch this, which you should, go ahead and get a box of tissues. I was waterworks all over the place. Thank you, Pixar, for still bringing wonder, imagination, and complex emotion to the big screen.
