				<description>&#060;p&#062;This really made my day. Your honesty, candidness and willingness to be vulnerable put me in awe. Thank you for sharing - it means a lot to at others struggles and how they are working through them. My brother is a recovering addict (he is bipolar) and this encouraged me to reach out to him and let him know how great he is doing. Thank you xo

				<description>&#060;p&#062;&#038;nbsp;I love everything you said. Your openeness and honesty (and humor) about your recovery and the things for which you are grateful is inspiring and refreshing. &#060;/p&#062;
&#060;p&#062;You've said it so well about combining a no-buy with a SYC to really figure out your own style. I've been trying to do this off and on but never understood how so succinctly how the process could work until you described it here.  &#060;/p&#062;
&#060;p&#062;So JEALOUS of you going to a  Joe Bonamossa concert. I just discovered him a few years ago when I heard a piece by him and thought it was one of Led Zepplins quieter pieces. The man is truly incredible for those who love the blues (as I do).

				<description>&#060;p&#062;Oh, that wreath! Wonderful exuberance.&#060;/p&#062;
&#060;p&#062;I would like to echo some of your “thanks”:&#060;br /&#062;
1- for thrifted/unexpected cheap yet luxe treasures: for me it was a pair of Balmain sandals that made me feel loopy and weak in the knees. $1500 retail. $40 for lucky me.&#060;br /&#062;
2-for fast fashion stuff to anchor other stuff&#060;br /&#062;
3-by far most important, I’m grateful for 2.5 years without any alcohol, and the freedom and joy that has brought to my life.  Gave up one thing, gained the world, as they say.  I experience breathtaking grace every single day and I hope/I bet you do too!&#060;/p&#062;
&#060;p&#062;All the best wishes for the holidays in your new house—
&#060;/p&#062;

				<description>&#060;p&#062;Cindy, you are an inspiration. I appreciate your thoughtful posts, your willingness to share some details of your journey that convey the work involved in getting to where you are now, in your life and in your style. You remind me that below the surface of what we see in a person, there is so, so much more to the story of who they are and how they came to be here. Thank you for your thoughts and well wishes, and have a wonderful Thanksgiving!
