So Grateful 🦃

Gratitude is both free and priceless. ❤️

Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays. It gives me a chance to reflect on the many wonderful parts of my life, including:

  • Family

  • Health

  • Time

  • Clients

  • Support

  • Democracy

Family 👨‍👩‍👧

My family is incredible! It’s been a busy year.

We’re savoring the time we have with our teenager.

Health 🏃‍♀️

Fortunately, we have our health! Although we had a bout earlier this year, COVID-19 continues to fade into history.

Time ⏱

I'm so thankful for the flexibility my career provides. It’s nice to attend swim meets during the week!

It’s also been wonderful to enjoy sunbreaks. I often get out for a quick run when it’s nice!

Clients 🤝

I've been blessed to work with many wonderful clients. It’s hard to believe it’s only been three and a half years since I founded Scaled Finance, LLC.

My clients feel like family!

Support 🏋‍♂️

Thank you to the many wonderful people who've supported my family, me, and my business throughout the year!

Democracy ✔️

I love that government officials are chosen by the people.

Next year will be a big one for elections. Make sure to vote!



Hey, thanks for reading my post on Thanksgiving 2025.

Just a reminder, I share a lot of resources that can help you.
