As the holiday season approaches<br />
the first thing on my mind is "I<br />
can't believe the year is almost<br />
over!"<br />
Thanksgiving is the perfect<br />
opportunity to count the many<br />
reasons why we should be grateful,<br />
so I take this opportunity to thank<br />
first, our readers and supporters.<br />
We are still a young project and it is<br />
very rewarding to hear your<br />
comments and to receive words of<br />
encouragement. I feel very grateful and flattered every time<br />
someone says they love what we are doing.<br />
I'm thankful to be doing something I enjoy, to get to know amazing<br />
people in our community, and to continue to learn new things<br />
everyday.<br />
To our writers, editors, and contributors, I am honored you<br />
believed in <strong>VIVA</strong> <strong>NOLA</strong> since its birth and that you have stood by it,<br />
continuously sharing your talent, knowledge and skills with us and<br />
our audience.<br />
We are growing stronger with the support from our advertisers<br />
that make this project possible. To all of you who have chosen to<br />
reach our audience and to entrust us with the responsibly of<br />
bringing your message across to potential customers, we are<br />
grateful and honored to partner with you.<br />
I hope you all have a very special Thanksgiving celebration!<br />
Remember to remain calm and sane through the busy holiday<br />
season coming ahead.<br />
