Celebrated Thanksgiving this year by serving the homeless ❤️ So Thankful to be in a position to give back 🫶🏻

Cooking at the homeless shelter was incredible. It’s crazy that not even a decade ago I was in the same spot, with nowhere to go. My family had excluded me from every get together, and everyone gave up on me. Actively listening to the beautiful souls in the shelter and seeing how their eyes lit up when I told them my story of how I was homeless too brought tears to my eyes. Maxi was the real star of the show too, and even got a pup friendly plate once we got home. Giving really is the best gift.

I hope you are all having an amazing holiday. I know the holiday season is not easy for everyone. I just want you to know no matter how low you go, there is always hope to build the life of your dreams. If no one else told you today, I believe in you and you are worth it. We all have something to be thankful for, keep the positive energy alive.

PS: I made some amazing desserts from scratch this year. What is your favorite Thanksgiving dish or dessert?
