As we gather around tables, both big and small, to celebrate Thanksgiving, I want to take a moment to thank YOU for being part of this journey. Whether you’ve worked with me directly, listened to my podcast, or simply crossed paths with my words, your presence has mattered deeply to me.
This season of gratitude reminds us to reflect on the richness in our lives, not just in the easy moments, but in the challenging ones too. I know firsthand how life’s struggles can feel anything but a blessing. Yet, even in those moments, there’s a gift, a reminder of our resilience, a chance to learn, and an opportunity to grow.
And let’s talk about people for a moment, shall we? Because if there’s one thing that brings the most joy and frustration, it’s people. This year, I invite you to practice a little experiment: Find a way to appreciate someone who may not feel all that “appreciation-worthy” in your eyes right now.
Maybe it’s the relative with the never-ending opinions at the dinner table. Perhaps it’s a partner, ex, or coworker who has tested your patience (and maybe even your sanity). Gratitude doesn’t mean condoning bad behavior or pretending things are fine, it’s about freeing your heart. Offering even a small ounce of kindness toward them is less about them and more about you stepping into the best version of yourself.
Thanksgiving isn’t just a date on the calendar—it’s a reminder to live with an open heart. To love, even when it’s hard. To give, even when it’s inconvenient. To find joy in the small things, like the warmth of pumpkin pie, the laughter of loved ones, or the quiet peace of a crisp autumn morning.
As we close out this year, my wish for you is this: May you carry the spirit of gratitude forward, not just today, but into every moment that life brings. You are deserving of love, peace, and joy—not because of what you’ve done, but simply because of who you are.
From my heart to yours, Happy Thanksgiving.
Love and Light,
Michele
