This isn’t just another message, social media post, or blog post about Thanksgiving that you’ve seen today. While it is about Thanksgiving, the difference is that I want to bring your attention to all the lessons you’ve learned this year.

💖 I challenge you to reflect on the negativity, unexpected life events, illnesses, and hard conversations you’ve faced. Look closely at those moments and find something positive in them. What have you learned about yourself? What have you learned about others (if it involved another person)? And how have you changed as a result? Who have you become, and what are your plans for the future when similar or even tougher challenges come your way — because they will.

💖 Most importantly, who was there for you during those hardships? Who supported you, listened to you, and simply showed up for you? These are the people you should truly thank — not just today, but every time they stand by you. And remember, you need to show up for them, too.

We are all spirits having a human experience — don’t forget that.
