Thanksgiving/Fall Break

Hello,

I hope that you are all doing great! I wanted to take a moment to say how Thankful I am for all of you who visit and who support Burning The Ground. Many of you have followed the site from its infancy way back in 2009/10. We have become quite a community. Thank you. I know it seems sometimes that the world is going crazy and that there is not much to be Thankful for. I assure you there is. You just have to look for it sometimes. It may be the tiniest of things.

I will be taking a bit of a break to celebrate the Thanksgiving holiday with my family and should return with new posts on Wednesday, November 29.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Love & Light

-DjPaulT
