Hi everyone!
It’s been a while since I’ve done a “5 Things” post. I love these for several reasons: first, lists rock; second, they help me focus; third, I ramble sometimes (like now), but when you limit yourself to five, there’s only so much rambling that can happen lol.
So, just in time for Thanksgiving, here is my list of “5 Things: I’m Thankful For.”
- Family. I usually save this one for last because I think it’s the most important. Today and always in my mind, it’s #1. I don’t have a large family, but the one I have is amazing. I love them so much. I’m so very thankful for their love, support, and friendship.
- Good health. People (myself included) sometimes take it for granted. But I’m so grateful for my health and that of those I love. Good health is something I wish for everyone. When I say “I hope you’re doing well,” I really mean it. A couple days ago, I got my booster vaccine, and though shots make me nervous, I am so thankful. I want to protect other people from getting sick. I pray and hope we can get out of this pandemic. Oh, I hope, I hope, I hope.
- Taylor Swift & Traveling Videos. Okay, so this one is a little different lol. I’ve been struggling, and I found some solace in Taylor Swift’s music (particularly the song “Evermore” which spoke to me on a very deep level during the crappy time) and short video reels of Edinburgh, Scotland, and Paris set to somber, moody music. It’s the little things ha.
- Dogs, Books & Movies. Because they truly make life, the world, and the bad days better.
- My readers. I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: My readers are the best. Truly. The. Best. During my low times, they lift me up. They send the kindest messages of encouragement. They give my books and characters so much love. Just knowing anyone reads my books is still such a surprise–a very nice, unexpected, amazing surprise. My readers are wonderful, and I am so thankful for each and every one of them <3.
And those are my 5 Things!

Despite all the set-backs I’m still here and surviving. I’d never thought that when you’d ask me like a year or 2 ago or so…
Hi Sanne, I’m so sorry life has been hard. Hang in there, and I truly hope it gets better. Hope you are well and happy holidays to you!
I am Thankful for my Determination in Researching my Chronic Illness, Resilience, & Strength during all my tests, surgeries, and recoveries as well as my family unit who helped me get through it all one day at a time! Thanks for the chance and Happy Thanksgiving
Hi Marcia, Determination is very important and so is family. I’m so glad they were there for you, and I hope you’re doing well now! Wishing you the best and happiest of holidays!
