A Thanksgiving Message: Gratitude, Growth, and Community
As soon as the Halloween decorations come down and the carved pumpkins are left out for the wildlife to enjoy, the conversation in my home quickly shifts to the Thanksgiving menu. For us, this holiday is the most significant of the year, and this time, it holds an even deeper meaning.
This year has been incredibly challenging yet profoundly rewarding. On a personal level, it has been a time of resilience as I faced unexpected health hurdles that tested my strength in ways I never imagined. I had to step away from work for four months, and during that time, my executive assistant and project manager, Kristine's, dedication was nothing short of extraordinary. With skill and commitment, she kept the business moving forward and supported our clients through it all. I'm so grateful for her support, which was essential in helping us survive and grow.
But through it all, what truly inspired and amazed me was the incredible outpouring of love, words of encouragement, and unwavering support from family, friends, colleagues, and clients. It reminded me how fortunate I am to be part of such an amazing community. It's these connections—the deep, genuine ones—that have made even the hardest days worthwhile. For that, I am forever grateful.
So, if you find this newsletter a little longer and more personal than usual, I hope you'll take the time to read it. Together, let's explore how gratitude, growth, and community are not just words but powerful forces that can genuinely change the world.
