Hiya, folks.
It’s been over a month since I’ve posted a Gratituesday, due to a lack of wifi as well as some good old fashioned writer’s block. However, my month in Nicaragua was so good, and I cannot wait to fill y’all in on the incredible experiences I had there through blogs and emails and newsletters to come!
I also find it fitting that Gratituesday returns the week of Thanksgiving – our national day of Gratitude!!
I have been learning a lot about gratitude these last couple of months, from what it means to be grateful for no wifi to being grateful for sleeping within inches of all of my teamies. It has been an incredible ride.
Before I go any further, I want to thank you for supporting myself and my teammates through reading our blogs and updates, as well as supporting us financially. Three of us have yet to be fully funded (Sandy, Emma, and Jessica) and we as a team would be so grateful to have them stay on the Race with us! Especially if you have yet to decide on a cause for Giving Tuesday, please consider donating to these incredible women.
I cannot wait to hear about all the things you’ve been grateful for in the last month! Here are just a few of mine…
