What are you especially grateful for this Thanksgiving?

Dr. Eric Last, Wantagh, New York

I’m grateful for health and family.

And I’m thankful for this incredible community of thoughtful healers with whom I can share, commiserate, and learn from. You’ve become a source of strength and insight, the silver lining of COVID.
