Let’s #ShopSmall together! In addition to my Small Business gift guide that’s up on wit & whimsy today, I wanted to spotlight some of my favorite local Brooklyn spots to support this Small Business Saturday and every day! Scroll to the left for some of my BK favs 🙌🏻

Have a small business you love shopping? Leave it in the Comments below! I’d love to consider it for future w&w content.

As a small business owner myself I recognize and celebrate everyone waking up and pursing their dream of being their own boss and bringing their goods, their craft, their service- to their community ❤️

If ever there was a year for gratitude...2020. You’ve shaken me to my core but also reminded me that when times are hard- it’s more important than ever to reflect on what I’m grateful for. This year - as I celebrate Thanksgiving alone in NYC - I am grateful for...

1️⃣ My loved ones 💙 So immensely grateful for my family and for my closest friends. Don’t know how I got so lucky to be surrounded by so much love and thoughtfulness but every day I’m so happy for those in my life that I love. I miss them all dearly but know this time apart will make our reunion all that much sweeter.

2️⃣ My faith. It’s wavered this year. How could it not when surrounded by fear and death and uncertainty? But it’s always there when I need comfort. I am so blessed to have saints and angels to call on when at my lowest moments and to thank when things are going well.

3️⃣ NYC! I love calling this force of a city home. Thank you for being my home and keeping me company through a year of so much solitude.

4️⃣ All of YOU! I wouldn’t be able to have as fulfilling of a life if it weren’t for all of you that support me, champion me, make me feel heard when I’m vulnerable and allow me to create and share what I love. You all are THE BEST! Thank you especially for being there this year as I had to re-learn how to share my life and create amidst a pandemic and quarantine.

5️⃣ Paris. I am so grateful to have a place in this world that moves my soul and gives me inspiration and comfort. I truly cannot wait for the day I can return.

6️⃣ Working for myself. It’s the greatest accomplishment of my career and I don’t take the opportunities, the variety, the challenges and the fulfillment for granted. This year has been the most successful year of wit & whimsy since I started it 14 years ago. The pivots, the vulnerability, the work, the long hours, the struggle, the investment - they’re worth it.

7️⃣ My health and the health of my loved ones. This year wellness was put under a microscope and tested by even the simplest of chores. Thank you God for keeping me and my closest safe and well.

Cont’d in comments...

“We are adjusting to a new normal where faces are concealed by masks, but it’s forcing us to look into one another’s eyes — sometimes filled with warmth, other times with tears. For the first time, in a long time, as human beings, we are really seeing one another.” — Meghan Markle, The Duchess of Sussex in an OpEd on loss for the NYT this morning.

It’s linked in my Stories - it’s a powerful read as we reflect this Thanksgiving Week - on what we have and what we have lost.

Sending you all love this morning ❤️
