I have never really connected with the celebration of Thanksgiving in terms of what they teach in school. But, I have always lived in such a natural place of gratitude and I loved that finally there is a day that has others around the table step into their heart and gratitude when they otherwise may gloss through life. Growing up, I cherished the family time with extended family, as I only saw them a couple times a year. As I have gotten older and lots of life has happened, it lost the depth of the joy it once carried. Now that I am a single mom, I am really cognizant of just celebrating our time together. It won’t even be on Thanksgiving itself this year, but that doesn’t matter. I need for my kids to have some kind of family togetherness, as different as it looks these days. It’s really just a day to bond over food and laughter.

About a month or 2 ago I had to ask my dad for money because I was in some financial trouble. It was so hard to ask him. In my head I thought of conversations about budget and saving and how he would say something to me or put me down. To my surprise, none of that happened. He was so incredibly kind and immediately Zelled me. It was not the message I had received in the past and I was so grateful, relieved, and frankly in awe that it all brought me to tears.

Aww, the Smurfs! Feel my youth just thinking about them.

I love the sacredness of the new moon. I find great power in them and the transformation they lead me through.
