#ThankfulThursday - Edition #14: Father John and Geoffrey Nelson
This week's #ThankfulThursday is a double dose, family edition in honor of Thanksgiving and the top two men in my life. My Father, John has supported me since before I was born and my boyfriend, Geoffrey Nelson is my #1 fan and partner in life.
My Dad has always been there cheering me on in life, from soccer games to graduations and everything in between. When I need help with something, I know that I can go to him for advice and support. He has a very logical and direct perspective that I appreciate. He's taught me the beauty of sarcasm and we've had many great conversations over the years about everything from politics and current news to the intricacies of how wireless internet works and why it is important to put oil in my car. He is my #1 go-to fix it for anything, personal computer guru and someone who has a work ethic that I truly admire. He supported our family by growing in his career based on the merits of his hard work, which allowed him to retire at 55 from a union based City job. I'm proud of my Dad and grateful for who is and what he has taught me.
My boyfriend and life partner, Geoff has been my #1 fan and is always supportive of who I am and what I set out to accomplish. When we originally met, we were really good friends and I have always valued this friendship. Our relationship has grown over the years and he has always been by my side. He is trustworthy, loyal, laid back, hard working and caring. He is always there to pick me up when I fall and the first person cheering me on in both my best and my worst moments. We've built a partnership together and a support system through thick and thin. He sees the best in me, truly loves me in a genuine and respectful way and has taught me the importance of slowing things down in life sometimes. I know that no matter what I do, as long as I am true to who I am, he will always believe in me.
HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!

#ThankfulThursday - Edition #13: Marissa Lopez
Marissa Lopez is such a kind and creative person. We went to all of the same schools growing up in San Mateo, but I really got to know her when I met her through mutual friends in High School. Our Volite partnership started with making charm bracelets, necklaces and earrings, then we expanded to making keychains. I would bring a basic concept to Marissa and we'd sit together on the floor in her room as she helped make that idea come to life. She had her toolkit and would cut chains at different lengths to create different styles and patterns with the charms I had bought. I loved what we did to bring this together with the colorful picks and I had a lot of fun working with you, Marissa! Thank you for all of your support... Let's get back into making jewelry!
