Happy Thanksgiving! (in the USA) ☺️

Once we realized that our 9 year anniversary of living in Ukraine, Thanksgiving, and Ukraine's National Day of Dignity and Freedom were all happening within about 10 days of each other we decided it was a good moment to pause and reflect. Plus, the podcast was getting a quite dusty and needed a little attention. (I blame Russia)

In this episode Jed and I shared things we are thankful for in each of the 9 years we have lived in Ukraine.  So much amazingness has happened and in light of today's very difficult reality it was really good for us to pause and consider all we have to be thankful for.

So, grab some eggnog, pull up a cozy chair and give it a listen.

PS: We officially give you permission to listen to Christmas music now. You're welcome. 🎄
