Now with the holidays upon us, this may add extra stress in our lives.

Whether it be socializing with our fav or not so fav relatives, being in and out of town, attending holiday parties, cooking, shopping, and so many more activities fit into our schedule.

Thanksgiving is not about the commercialized big meal and Black Friday Deals. It literally means “to give thanks.”

Never take for granted what you have. We can wake up and everything can all be gone. Not just the material things, but I’m talking about our home, our health, our life, family, friends, and even our fur family members.

This holiday season, try to be in the moment and grateful. Take a deep breath, look around and let’s have gratitude for our blessings.

Let’s be mindful and give thanks, not just on Thanksgiving but every day. The holidays go by so quickly, so enjoy it with an open heart.

Happy Thanksgiving and always remember to “Be Yourself Be Strong and Be Beautiful”®.
