another year is drawing to a close, and as you sit around the table for Thanksgiving, may you be filled with gratitude for the blessing that is 'your life'.

This special day reminds us to pause and appreciate the beauty of the present, the joy of togetherness, and the blessings we often overlook.

When you consider that:

• Nearly 924 million people (11.7% of the global population) faced food insecurity at severe levels this year.

• A sizable 55% of Americans are experiencing sadness and loneliness during the holidays this year.

• There were an estimated 582,462 homeless people in the U.S. in 2023

I would say that we are blessed beyond measure.

Sure life can bring its share of challenges, yet if you have safe shelter, clothes to keep you warm, food in your refrigerator, a bed to crawl into at night, and someone to call friend, YOU ARE BLESSED.

So, for today, focus on all the gifts, blessings and love that surrounds you not only today, but every day you walk this planet.

I am grateful for so many things in my life, not the least of which is you, my readers, and clients; you are the reason I wake up with intention about how I might serve and make a difference in your lives. You give my life purpose and I thank you for that!

So from my home to yours, I send you my sincerest wishes for a day that is filled with all the things you love and are grateful for (including yourself). Thank you for being a part of this community, in whatever way you've joined. 

HAPPY THANKSGIVING Friend 🍂🦃 and lots of love to you and yours 💖
