“No matter how hard you try, you cannot get rid of darkness because it does not exist. It is nothing but the absence of light. In order to effect darkness, you must do something with light, because the light is the only thing that actually exists.” – Teal Swan

As we close the chapter on this year, I would much rather focus on gratitude and the light shining through rather than the darkness many of us have experienced. 2020 has been one for the books, and unfortunately most of the books have been poorly written. Rather than harp on what could’ve, should’ve, would’ve been this year, I want to personally thank each and every one of you. The love and encouragement to get this Lifestyle Digest out the door back in March of this year has been one of the bright spots I have seen.

The feedback from this digest has been overwhelmingly positive and that is a testament to you my audience, and the contributors of each volume. I have featured over 25 incredible individuals and brands and I would like to thank all those who have made this first calendar year a success. Without your genius, none of this is possible. My goal from the onset was to showcase intriguing, entrepreneurial genius that my peers around me have worked so hard to achieve. Quite often though, they likely have never received the recognition they deserve. I hope you guys have enjoyed some of these stories along the way. I promise to continue to keep them fresh and new as we move into 2021.

In my life I have been fortunate enough to have spent a lot of time around so many strong and beautiful women in my family, friend circles, and professional environments. This last volume is dedicated to all the badass women fighting every day for the respect they deserve in all aspects of their daily world both individually and collectively. We would not be half the men we are without them, so this volume is a celebration of how strong and powerful the women around us truly are. 

Thank you ladies for your courage and strength and for holding us men accountable for the things we need to do better at. Cheers to all you ladies and cheers to those people who believe that 2021 should be the year of love and gratitude. 

If you or someone you know would like to be featured in 2021 please drop me a line I would love to learn more about your story. Wishing everyone a safe, responsible, and healthy close to your year. May 2021 bring you all the blessings you deserve.
