Give me some sun!

Hey everybody, happy new year. What a wild month it's been already. As a lot of you know, the TV world is a bit different than some jobs, and taking time off during the holidays is not usually in the cards. Lucky for me, I live very close to family, so working on Christmas or the days before and after doesn't always mean I have to choose one or the other.

Now that being said.. come January, I'm often in need of some R&R! Keeping up with the crazy holiday schedules and work can be a bit draining, and I was very lucky to have a week of vacation in the middle of the month. As you can see, I escaped Missouri and headed straight for the sunshine! Palm trees, you are my friend. I spent some time in south Florida, exploring both sides of the state. The Naples area is so beautiful, and Miami... well what can I even say. Wow! I can't wait to go back.

I also did a lot of reading-- one of my favorite things! Books I read (and recommend!):

- First Comes Love, by Emily Giffin
- How to Live a Good Life, by Jonathan Fields (also love his podcast, the Good Life Project!)
- Me Before You, by Jojo Moyes
- in progress.. the sequel, After You, by Jojo Moyes

Versailles was such a fun stop in Miami-- had to have some authentic Cuban food! Curious if any of you have favorite spots in Florida? Share them with me!

I returned to St. Louis feeling rested and ready to go. It's always fun to see coworkers and I'm lucky to work with people whom I consider a second family. I hope you'll join us every morning to get the day started on a great note. And let me know what stories and content you'd like to see- we are always looking for ways to serve you better.

Thanks for reading!
Emily
