So. Much. Gratitude.
Thanks for stopping by to learn about my gratitude greeting. Nagel Strategies can only survive with referrals from clients, colleagues, and friends. The artists behind my little note of thanks are Michele Gorcey and Jenna Schroeder. Their creative works, coincidentally rooted in a desire to spark connection, have become my all-time favorite gifts for loved ones.​​
​​Artist Michele Gorcey is based in Solana Beach, CA, and I first experienced her art on the walls of my favorite local coffee shop. Our friendship began when I gifted one of her prints to a dear friend who had recently beaten breast cancer. It turns out that Michele was recovering from the same beast at the same time. Gorcey's raw, messy, and honest art has been featured in my annual gratitude greeting every year since.

Author Jenna Schroeder has been inspiring me since 1996 when we became fast friends in our hometown of Englewood, OH. She is the author of three children's books, including the wildly fun Taco Cat Goat Cheese Pizza: the Graphic Novel; the sweetest Let Go, Little Leaf; and the heartwarming Are Enchanted Forests Real. Schroeder's work fosters a love for reading and social emotional learning through positive messages, inspiring illustrations, and nature themes.
