Your cousin Debra thinks this is awesome! Just FYI, this is part of a global effort to "put the thanks back into Thanksgiving," and also raise money to finish a school in Tanzania (epicchange.org). Thanks so much for participating, Jesica - I'm completely overwhelmed by the wonderful thoughts.
We have likewise started our "being gratefuls" at dinner. It's an amazing lesson we must teach our children and must be more aware of in our day to day activities. Thanks for keeping the ball rolling! XO
