"Happy Thanksgiving?! Is that really how you’re treating yourself? Is that really how you’re treating your loved ones? Your clients? Is thanksgiving just a word for you or are you truly living it? Are you a full example… a living, breathing expression of thanksgiving? Or are you just going through the motions? The swine in the Bible ran wild, possessed, straight into destruction. Is that how you’re living reacting, chasing, running into chaos? Or are you embodying gratitude with action? Gratitude isn’t just a feeling. It’s how you show up when no one’s watching. It’s the discipline to lead, the strength to serve and the courage to be the example this world needs. Don’t just say you’re thankful … prove it! Be the embodiment of thanksgiving. #HappyThanksgiving #EmbodimentOfGratitude #GratitudeInAction #LeadWithPurpose #DisciplineAndHonor #RealMenRealValues #StrengthThroughService #YouUnleashed #RiseAboveTheChaos

On this Thanksgiving, as some of us gather with loved ones, friends, or perhaps reflect in solitude, I’d like to share a quote by Albert Einstein that is in a book I’m currently reading called “The Places That Scare You” by Pema Chodron: "A human being is a part of the whole called by us 'the universe,' a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings, as something separate from the rest - a kind of optical delusion of consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening the circle of understanding and compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole nature in its beauty." This day, which is often associated with tradition and connection, is a wonderful reminder of our place in the greater whole. And it’s an opportunity to step outside of the sense of "me" and lean into the connection we share with all beings - even the ones that sometimes drive us crazy! Today I invite you to pause, or to at least slow down a bit, and to notice how you are experiencing the moment. Oftentimes in all the busyness of the holidays we miss out on the moments of our lives. This Thanksgiving see if you can allow your senses to fully open to what is present, if only for one breath, so that you can really notice the beauty that surrounds you. It can be the beauty of the physical space you’re in, the laughters and voices of family/friends (even the screaming kids!!), the tastes of the delicious foods, the warmth of a hug or the awareness of a smile on someone’s face (including your own!). Take a moment (or more) to soak it all in. And know that beneath what may at times feel like chaos, there is a space of stillness that exists within each of us…a space where you can allow yourself to rest in the silence between sounds. Give yourself permission to fully be with experience. Know that in doing so, we widen our circle of connection, togetherness and deepen our moment to moment awareness and presence. Wishing you a Happy Thanksgiving! 🫶 #Connection #Togetherness #PresentMomentAwareness #BeyondMe #CircleOfLife 💫

One of the most effective ways to foster a sense of harmony and unity on Thanksgiving is to kick off the day with a heartfelt gratitude practice. This practice can take various forms, depending on what resonates most with you and your loved ones. For instance, you might find a quiet spot in your home, perhaps by a cozy window or in a sunny corner of the living room, where you can take a few moments to reflect deeply on the blessings in your life. Consider jotting down your thoughts in a journal, noting the people, experiences, and moments that have filled you with joy and appreciation throughout the past year.
