A Personal Note

This Thanksgiving will be a bit different for me as I’ll be spending it in Atlanta, away from my usual traditions. While I’ll miss my family and friends, I’m excited to embrace new experiences. I’m also preparing for a fitness competition on December 21st, so my Thanksgiving feast will be more turkey and less… my favorite- candied sweet potatoes!.
