It is difficult for me to believe that we are once again at the time of year where we are celebrating Thanksgiving!  Although Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday, I do wish the years would slow down a bit!  Thanksgiving is a time to reflect how lucky I am.  I get to work in a career that I love and feel I offer value to.  Since I have many eclectic interests and my work is flexible, I am also fortunate that my career allows me to do many things such as volunteer weekly in my children’s classrooms, volunteer at Dress for Success (for the last 14 years!), read voraciously and write 10-20 book reviews per month, exercise regularly and practice at being an accomplished cook.  I am able to help friends and family any time they ask for a favor or need assistance and I truly get to be present in my life.  

Take a moment to reflect on what you are thankful for.  In today’s harried world, it is not easy to slow down and really “smell the roses”, but I believe it is necessary and critical to do.

I wish you much love and happiness.  Happy Thanksgiving!
