In a year with so many challenges economically and globally, it's important to stay true to our core values and be thankful for what we have. Like many, I am most thankful for my family. Being able to share stories, dreams, and battles with those you know best is truly priceless.
On the business side of things, I'm also so thankful for our talented team of contributing writers who help put together the stories that make up Folsom City Lifestyle. I asked them what they were thankful for this year and I'm happy to share that with you:
This year, I am most thankful for growing even more as a professional, as a woman, and as an individual. There were moments of fear, happiness, heartache, stagnance, and chaos, but through it all, I have learned so much about myself, which is priceless when life is as short as it is. I am most thankful for not letting fear hold me back any longer, which has led me even closer to achieving my dreams.

This year, I’m incredibly thankful for the season of life our family is in. I feel immense gratitude that my husband and I have careers that provide a healthy work-life balance, allowing us to be deeply involved in our kids’ lives and strengthen our connection as a family. Watching our boys grow into loving, thoughtful, and endlessly curious individuals fills us with pride, and being present for all their special moments brings so much joy to my heart.

This time of year always makes me reflect on all the beautiful things I am fortunate enough to have in my life: family, friends, a roof over my head, dinner on the table, and a wonderful lifetime of health and happiness.
