A Thanksgiving Reflection As we gather to celebrate Thanksgiving, let us pause and reflect on the countless blessings that surround us. This day reminds us not only of the harvest of food but also of the harvest of love, kindness, and connection that enrich our lives. Gratitude is a powerful force, one that can transform challenges into lessons, strangers into friends, and simple moments into cherished memories. Today, let’s celebrate the beauty of coming together - family, friends, and communities - sharing stories, laughter, and a meal that nourishes both body and soul. Let’s also take a moment to extend our gratitude beyond the table: 1. To those who support us in ways big and small. 2. To the hands that prepared our feast and the hearts that welcome us. 3. To the earth that provides and the opportunities that keep us growing. Thanksgiving isn’t just a day; it’s a reminder to live with gratitude every day. So, as we enjoy this moment, let us pledge to carry forward this spirit of appreciation, kindness, and generosity into the days ahead.

Thanksgiving is more than just a holiday. 🍂 It's a moment to pause and reflect on what truly...matters. It's easy to get lost in the hustle and bustle. To forget the simple joys that life offers. But Thanksgiving gives us a chance to remember. There's one idea that resonates deeply with me, especially during this season: Gratitude. 🙏 Gratitude is the silent hero in our stories.

This holiday, as we gather around tables, let's embrace gratitude. 🦃 Let's appreciate the ideas that make our lives richer, the connections that make us stronger, and the challenges that make us better.

Family, Gratitude, and the Essence of Thanksgiving 🍂 Thanksgiving has always been a time for reflection, for counting our blessings, and most importantly, for coming together with the people who matter most—our families. In a world that often moves too fast, Thanksgiving offers us the chance to pause, share a meal, and create cherished memories with loved ones. It’s a reminder of the power of connection, love, and the importance of being present with one another. For me, Thanksgiving is about more than just tradition; it’s about embracing those moments of togetherness that strengthen family bonds and fill our hearts with gratitude. The warmth of a home filled with laughter, good food, and shared stories is something we carry with us long after the holiday ends.

As Thanksgiving approaches, I find myself reflecting on the layers of meaning this day holds. Thanksgiving is a time of gratitude and gathering. But for Native American families, it can also be a complex and bittersweet day. This holiday often brings up memories of a complicated history. In my community, we have chosen to acknowledge these nuances but still make it a day for togetherness, honoring our own traditions and celebrating in a way that feels right for us. 🦃 One of these traditions is what we call "burying the bird," which involves wrapping the turkey and cooking it in an underground pit, using hot coals to slow-roast it. This is a goofy tradition that brings laughter and good stories every year: → Digging the pit and lining it with stones or coals, which are heated until red-hot. → Preparing the bird by wrapping it in foil to protect it and seal in moisture. → Burying it in the earth and slow-roasting it for hours (someone always has to stay on “bird watch,” so we take turns). The result? A tender, juicy turkey with a smoky, earthy flavor that comes from cooking in such a natural way. It’s our way of giving thanks in a way that feels grounded in the earth, our connection to each other, our heritage, and most importantly – our creator. ✨ To all who celebrate this day, may it be one filled with meaning, gratitude, and connection.
