In the Mix with Aaliyah Miller

I look forward to Thanksgiving every year. It's my favorite holiday and not just because I get to eat dishes that I only eat this time of year, it's about reconnecting with family and friends. I have the down time to reflect on what I'm truly thankful for and count my blessings. This year's turkey day celebration will take me to Atlanta where I get spend time with my bestie Nat.

I finally began chipping away at revising a script (as of last night 15 pages) and am currently reading Toy Story 3 . In order to sta

Happy Friday folks. I'm pleased to be kicking this blog off with a challenge to each of you. Don't we all have something or someone we are thankful for? As we approach Thanksgiving I thought it would be nice to share what we are thankful for or how we give back to our communities. At work I kicked off a "Thankful and Giving Challenge" campaign with the Aetna University community and now I'm sharing it with you. Check out my video and I challenge you to share what you're thankful for or how you give back to the community. I also encourage you to share this challenge with your family, friends and colleagues. Lets have fun with this and have a great weekend!
