Happy Thanksgiving..... 

Time to enjoy a family feast, offering up gratitude and appreciation.... making memories and sharing stories of Thanksgivings past.  Generosity, kindness and compassion are on the table this year - as we head into another holiday season....where we can become stressed and overwhelmed by all of the items on our "to do" list.  It's hard for us to remember to take care of ourselves first, before we can take care of others!  I know this for a fact...the responsibilities are far and wide - whether it's hosting dinners/parties/special events, or cleaning and organizing and planning and cooking, baking and gift giving....so much on our table.... so much - we allow ourselves to be caught up in .... (chewed up and spit out again)....lol....which doesn't always allow for a relaxing and most "wonderful time of the year" scenario?  We all want things to come off smoothly, we want to be seen as having everything pulled together.  Well, I wanted to be "Martha Stewart: for a long time... but as I have grown older, I realize, I don't want all of the access baggage either.  So.... everybody needs to slow down, smell the (good smells coming from the kitchen) and enjoy the ride....it's the people around the table, the love and memories that we make; which are the most important of all.  To all of my friends and family.... please enjoy the holiday season, be safe, be happy and take care of yourself.... we want to live as 'stress free' as possible.
