This is my fifth year of writing a Thanksgiving blog, and I'm always trying to outdo myself with something profound to say. My husband, Rob, wisely pointed out that I could just say "Thank You."

hank you from my heart to the thousands of Wellness Wednesday participants, the exceptional thought leaders who contribute their wisdom in these sessions, and more than a dozen "promoting partners" who share Wellness Wednesday within their community.

When I first started Wellness Wednesday in April 2020, six people came. My next program attracted nine. Since then, Wellness Wednesday has reached more than 15,000 registered participants in 57 countries. Many of you also sponsor Wellness Wednesdays, and I donate these funds to provide healthy meals to sick and vulnerable older adults in the San Francisco Bay Area. Together, we have provided more than 800 meals to nourish those who need it.

In this "third act" of my career, I can't believe that I get to do this important and satisfying work. I love my job and all the people (and dogs) in my life!

Thank you for being part of this community. I appreciate every email you send and every kind word you share.

Happy Thanksgiving from the Duplantiers!
