Happy Thanksgiving from the Meridian Team! This time of year, we pause to reflect on all we’re grateful for—our families, friends, and the communities that make everything brighter. Whether you’re celebrating with a large gathering or keeping it cozy, we hope your day is filled with laughter, warmth, and great food. And since we all know the turkey coma struggle is real, here are 3 tips to keep Thanksgiving from turning into an eating marathon: 1. The “Taste-Don’t-Tackle” Approach: Sample a little of everything you love instead of tackling full portions—your future self (and your post-meal nap) will thank you. 2. Take Tiny Timeouts: Between each round of mashed potatoes and pie, take a moment to savor and enjoy. Pro tip: moving around between courses (even a quick walk) can help. 3. Dessert Strategy: Choose or Commit: Either pick your absolute favorite dessert or have a tiny taste of each. Your inner foodie gets the satisfaction, without the food coma! Wishing you a wonderful Thanksgiving filled with gratitude, joy, and cherished moments! #FamilyBusiness #Thanksgiving #Gratitude #Thankful #FamilyTime #HolidayTips #Meridian

Basis for What You Give We are still celebrating Thirty Days of Thanksgiving. If you base what you give (or how you serve) on who or how much appreciation or likes you will receive, you will be chasing people's appetites for the rest of your life. A person can do a good deed and hand out turkeys on Thanksgiving. Some people will take the turkey, consume it, and show no appreciation at all. Other people will take it, show gratitude, and consume it later. Some people's plates may already be full at home and don't need the turkey. Some are vegetarians, vegans, or just don't like the taste of turkey. Turkey does not coincide with their diet, and no matter how you prepare it, it will not be appetizing to them. Just because what you give does not meet everyone's needs or wants does not mean you stop doing good deeds and exercising generosity. When you can, share the good given to you, and try to help and bring joy, blessings, and perspective into others' lives. Your actions may be impactful for some, ignored by others, and outright rejected by a few, but don’t let that stop you. If you set out to help a community but only see that you helped one family, you still made a positive impact. Be thankful that one family is grateful for your efforts. Think about it. Have a thankful and terrific Tuesday. Thirty Days of Thanksgiving

🍂 Happy Thanksgiving! 🦃 Thanksgiving is a time to gather to celebrate a season of gratitude, indulgent meals, and the warmth of loved ones. It's a day to reflect on all we have to be thankful for—our health, our work, our opportunities, and the people who enrich our lives in countless ways. But Thanksgiving also brings together a mix of personalities, opinions, and worldviews around one table. While sharing a meal, we might encounter those lively (and sometimes heated!) debates about politics, the state of the world, or even the best way to cook the turkey. This year, let’s approach those moments with curiosity over judgment and connection over division. Gratitude can be a bridge that transcends disagreement. Here's some suggestions on how we can navigate the conversation with grace: Listen deeply: Hear the person behind the opinion—they’re someone who shares your history, even if they don’t share your perspective. Find common ground: Maybe you both love the cranberry sauce or the family football tradition. Start there. Set boundaries gently: If things get tense, a light-hearted pivot to dessert, football, or a compliment to the chef works wonders. Thanksgiving reminds us that what unites us—love, laughter, good food, and living in a free country— matters more than what divides us. Let’s choose kindness and gratitude as our guiding principles, not just today but every day. Wishing you and your loved ones a day filled with joy, laughter, and second helpings of pie. 🥧🍁 What are you most grateful for this Thanksgiving? Share your comments—I’d love to hear!
