Happy Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving is such a special day in the US!

I wish everyday we can express gratitude to people around us, share a meal with our loved ones and simply have a moment to reflect like in this day.

Thanksgiving in my memory is the beautiful New York city view from the 10th floor apartment of my mentor dear friend AT in Tribeca.

I celebrated Thanksgiving with her and her family and friends many years from 2014 to 2019.

Those are the days that I wake up late days, go to Chinatown to grab some grocery or ingredients for the party that AT needs, usually from Soho or West Village and then rush to Tribeca for the late afternoon hang out and then Thanksgiving dinner.

We usually took turn to share what we are thankful for at the table.

I’ll share here what I am thankful for:

I’m thankful for a full year with so much change and grow, I feel like I grew so much as a person, in business and in spirituality and growth is one of my biggest needs.

I moved to Dallas this year, enter a couple of new industries, traveled to exotic place like Colombia, had a few journeys on mushroom that hard to explain, visit Vietnam after 6 years (feel like a lifetime away).

But most of all, I have the pleasure of living and spending my days with the people I love and care about the most: my son, my husband, my mom, my sister.

Observing my baby becoming a little thoughtful human, the incredible love that the whole family feels and gives to him, observing my mom and my sister life improves moving to the US, that everyday made me the luckiest human!

I’m so grateful that I got to live this life, my life!

And I got to write to you like this,

How amazing is that!

Imagine we’re sitting together at the cozy Thanksgiving table, I’ll ask you:

What are you thankful for this year?

Please reply to this.

With Love,

Sophie

PS:

AT died in 2020 due to Covid. I cried so much and then busy with the new life after Covid, just realized recently that I was still grieving for that loss.

2019 was also the first Thanksgiving where I “brought a boy home for Thanksgiving”, it’s Sasha, who became my husband now.

So.. savor your life!
