A few years ago, we started a new tradition around here (at Thrive Your Tribe, I mean). Instead of sending paper holiday cards, we take that money and make a big donation to an awesome charity. I figure you probably get a bunch of cards this month, and besides, I was having a lot of trouble getting them out on time! So, while this means our dear clients, friends, and readers don’t get something in their mailboxes signed by Izzy, this year, it means OxFam is getting a check instead.
This year, when I was writing that check, I was struck by how amazing *you* are. (Yes, I really do mean YOU!) Thank you for being here, reading along with me, even those times when I don’t have a clue what I want to say or how to say it, and also those times when I think I have something Really Important to Say and demand silence before saying something that… is not so important.
Thank you. Happy Holidays! And I can’t wait to see you on January 11, 2010. (I am *loving* typing 2010. You?)
Much love, and appreciation,
Jess

A little backstory on that photo–I’d tortured him for about 15 minutes trying to get a shot of the snow and him standing there in it and he was *so* over the idea of me holding the camera instead of throwing the tennis ball.
Also, the new blog design will clearly need to be wider!
