This resonates so much for me, as I reflect on 2024 and made December the beginning of 2025. 2024 has been a year of many lessons and new approaches to life, an important one has been to seek new networks to feel expansive, relevant, grounded, purposeful and meaningful. Well being took precedence for best part of the year and reaching out & asking for support stretched the comfort zone. To my surprise, I found that it is okay to ask for help and most people were always too glad to help! The most helpful is a kind neighbour who makes me a priority in her life and is available for the most essential aspects. I am still embracing the new approaches, many of them are connected to what makes my life wholesome in every way. As I take the foot of the pedal for the holidays, here are my three lessons and three new approaches. 1. From self doubt to building courage and confidence to wake up and make each day full of purpose and contentment. 2. From expectation to acceptance and discovery. A mindset that is full of intrigue, curiosity and willingness to explore the unknown. 3. From bewilderment to clarity and focus. Talking to people who are experts on areas that were giving me concern saved time and I am able to HOPE! #lessonsof2024 #approachesfor2025 #lifelessons #newapproaches #HappyHolidays

Thanksgiving is a vital time to pause, reflect, and offer heartfelt gratitude to God, breaking away from the hollow routine of thoughtless prayers and busy lives. By slowing down and intentionally counting our blessings, we can rediscover genuine thankfulness and draw closer to God’s presence. In my article "Give Thanks Again" I explore what Thanksgiving is about and the importance of slowing down and counting our blessings. Give it a read! You can read more here: https://lnkd.in/gECGqpGA

Thanksgiving is a time for gratitude, family, and reflection, but it’s even more important to honor the full history of the day. Today is National Day of Mourning, a time for us all to reflect on history, acknowledge truths, and seek ways to listen and learn. As we celebrate gratitude and family, let’s also take a moment to honor resilience, respect different perspectives, and explore ways to give back to Native organizations and communities. How are you reflecting or giving back today?

“As we celebrate Christmas, let us reflect on the importance of gratitude, connection, and the spirit of giving. It’s a time to appreciate the blessings of the past year and to share hope for the year ahead. Wishing you and your loved ones a joyful Christmas and a prosperous New Year. Season’s Greetings! 🎄✨ #SeasonOfGiving #ChristmasWishes” #Virtualclicksupport #VirtualclicksupportVA #virtualassistanttraining #VCSvirtualassistantcohort6 #Virtualassistant

Our tradition is to share President Washington’s National Day of Thanksgiving Proclamation. We encourage you to read Washington’s brief message or view the video below.  Reviewing our U.S. history, we recall that the Revolutionary War ravaged our country, beginning in 1775 and lasting more than eight years until it ended in 1783. President Washington and the founding leaders of our country were working toward peace within our great nation. President Washington established Thanksgiving as an opportunity “to be devoted by the People of these States to the service of that great and glorious Being, who is the beneficent Author of all the good that was, that is, or that will be.” It's easy to dwell on our differences and opinions, but we can agree that the United States is the greatest country in the world, and we owe our gratitude to God for being able to live here. Thanksgiving Day is a day of prayer and reflection. It’s a day when we celebrate our similarities, not differences. It's unique because it’s a day dedicated to being with those we love. The day is about camaraderie, hugs, food, and hanging out together—whether attending a parade, watching football, or playing games. It’s a blessing to share these simple and traditional joys.  Happy Thanksgiving! https://lnkd.in/g6XZc_Kz https://lnkd.in/gKADZUrr   #DrivenToDeliver #carhaulindustry #logistics #thanksgiving #givethanks #blessed #blessings
