Meet Caylee: Our December "Quote"

Not only Caylee is featured as the December quote in our Thankful Calendar 2012, she also happens to be the very first The 'Thank You' Project's follower and left the very first comment on this blog back in 2009! This is something I still remember to this day, and I feel very thankful that me and her have kept in touch.

Currently, Caylee is a senior undergraduate at the University of Georgia in Athens, Georgia, and is majoring in Anthropology. She works at her university's South Pacific study abroad office where she is developing a new study abroad program to Bali, Indonesia. And guess what, lucky Caylee gets to go to Bali as part of her job this summer! Way to fulfill her interest in travel, languages and cultures. Caylee, please master saying "thank you" in Indonesian for me, will you? 

“ I am thankful for sharing dreams and secrets with my best friend over a chai tea latte. ”

Caylee on her featured quote:  

"I wrote my thankful quote after my childhood best friend came from far away to visit me at college last autumn. She and I were sitting in my favorite coffee shop in Athens. It looks like a house, and it's super cute and cozy. We were both drinking chai teas (which were SO delicious) and talking about really deep feelings and issues... The type of stuff that you only share with the closest people in your life. After she left to go back home, I just felt so thankful for her and for those moments of connection. It's rare to find someone that you can be your true self with. And It's even more special with chai tea involved. :)"
