Thanksgiving is one of my most favorite holidays. The smell of all things delicious baking in the oven, the bouts of laughter coming from all corners of the house, the crackling of the fireplace, saying grace and sharing what we’re thankful for… I mean, can it get any better?

  • God’s love, which we have access to at any given moment, 24/7
  • The freedom of choice
  • Support
  • This body which has gone through thick and thin with me

I would love to hear some of yours  🙂  What are you most grateful for?

My deepest wishes to you for a very grateful Thanksgiving with family, friends, and community.

Love & Peace friends.
