Happy Thanksgiving!

In the spirit of Thanksgiving this year, I give thanks to my family, friends, and all clients of my agency.

No matter what is happening in the world, I always try to “slow things down” and appreciate what is good and beneficial for us.

Most of us do have plenty to be thankful for. We have plenty of good food to eat and a comfortable place to live. We have the technology to communicate with people around the world. And we are able to participate in worthwhile activities and pursuits that are helpful to those around us and make us feel good.

If you want to help others who are less fortunate, you can volunteer your time or make donations to organizations that provide support for those in need. One of the best ways to express our gratitude for all that we have is to share what we have with others.

One place to help make an immediate difference is a local food bank. The Feeding America website can help you find one nearby: https://www.feedingamerica.org/our-vision

The holidays may be particularly difficult for those facing financial hardships, but giving is helpful year-round. No one has to wait for Thanksgiving Day to lend a helping hand.

From me to you: my hope for the rest of this year is that you enjoy the holidays, spend time with loved ones, and look forward to a productive, healthy and happy 2024!
