As we approach the day in America when we are reminded to be thankful for all we have, it seems fitting to also think about what brings true joy. Maggie earns her living waitressing in Brooklyn and has spent the last year battling cancer.

Take a walk. Experience silence. Think. Get inspired. You’re One in 308,000,000.
Happy Thanksgiving America.
