Thank you thank you thank you
2015 was a huge year for me, not least because all of you wonderful people! I got married, traveled through Morocco, published Conversation Sparks, met a ton of readers, and ate alligator. So as we welcome 2016, I just want to say: thank you.
Thanks Men’s Journal for including Conversation Sparks in the holiday gift guide!
