Thank you. Next, next, thank you.

Next, next. Thank you.

Hi, guys. Aloha from the islands of Hawaii.

I am Candace Kumai, and this is the final episode of the Wabi-Sabi podcast for 2018.

Not forever, don't worry. I know you were going to freak out.

This is the final episode for

2018, episode number 32. We're going to talk about thank you next and how we are all starting a new

chapter today and forever and beyond. And we should all all be so grateful put your hand on your heart

right now guys be grateful for your health and your happiness your family's health your friend's

happiness your friend's health and be grateful that you have two arms and two legs and a heart to love and two beautiful eyes to see,

a mouth to taste, ears to hear. You have everything that you need right now in this moment to be

grateful for. And 2018 was full of blessings. I cannot believe I am staring out at Diamond Head right now in Oahu. I'm

visiting friends on the North Shore and that live in town. And I just wanted to close out the

year here to seal my entire year's practice of gratitude. I'm not perfect and my life isn't perfect and I'm so glad

that we've met each other now one on one. I'm so glad you met my sister and you've heard about my

best friends and you've met my parents and my life is perfectly imperfect just like yours. And although we had an incredible year this year with

the launch of the new book this podcast the matcha shop i had more write-ups in more magazines than i've

ever had and you know what i fucking earned that shit because I worked for it. And if you had a year

two where you need to breathe and take a look out at the big wide world and say to yourself,

I'm so proud of what I've accomplished, do it. Because too much of the time, we're too

kind to everyone else but ourselves. We congratulate

everyone else on their successes, but we never take time to say, good work, you. Good work me. Good
