It has been a difficult year for a lot of people, and it is easy to lose sight of the things we have to be thankful for.  I know I forget sometimes.  I lose sight of the fact that I have been blessed with great friends, a wonderful family - as crazy as they often are - and a business that I love - as crazy as it sometimes makes me.  ☺

The fact that you are receiving this email makes it pretty likely that you have been blessed in some small way or in many.  But if you can't think of anything to be thankful for at the moment, then this email is especially for you.

As my Dad recently reminded me, it is in difficult times like these that it is most important to reach out to those around you and offer whatever help you may be able.  If you are so inclined, I hope you'll join me in sending out love, prayers, healing energy, warm wishes or whatever is in your heart to those who may not be as fortunate as you - to those who may be feeling a little lost this holiday season - to those who may not have as much to be thankful for - to those who may have lost touch with all that they do have.  The strange thing about giving is that you somehow seem to receive as much as you give.  So don't worry whether you have enough to give, just summon up some warm thoughts and share them with someone today.

I am sending all of my heartfelt gratitude to you today and wishing you a happy, healthy and joyful Thanksgiving.
