More than sales and barbecues, today is for honoring those who gave their lives for our freedom.
A Thanksgiving letter from Kim

Hello friends,
I hope you’re having a great Thanksgiving Day spending time with the people you love and eating delicious food. Along with watching the parade, having good conversations and slipping into a turkey coma, don’t forget to take a moment to reflect on your own life. I’m sure that there are many wonderful things you are thankful for.
I’m very thankful for my husband, Barry, and my son, Ian. I have been blessed to have a loving family, a healthy body, a great career, and a way to help and give back to people from all walks of life.
Beyond my family, I’m thankful to live in a country where we enjoy tremendous freedom. I’m especially appreciative for the military men and women currently training and fighting to protect our country.
Likewise, I’m thankful for all the men and women who serve in our medical facilities, police, fire, and emergency services as they work hard today and every day.
Finally, I’m thankful for YOU. Because of your support, we are able to put out a national radio show, podcasts, newsletters, articles, and more to help millions of people live their best digital lives.
