November Newsletter - 2022
Greetings!
Fall is here and soon many of us will be gathered around the table (or tables) for food and festivities. Some, however, do not have the gift of family or health to do so. Does that give you reason to pause? It does me. November is National Gratitude Month, and while I believe there is always something to be grateful for, sometimes it is difficult to “rise above” during the holidays. Let’s all take time to not only think about what we can be grateful for, but how we can BE THE PERSON someone IS GRATEFUL for. How can you reach out to someone this holiday season?
While we work towards creating that time around the table, the holidays often become a time of tremendous stress and high expectations. I have tried to compile some ideas to offer tips to find calm, relaxation, and keeping what is truly meaningful in focus this month. Enjoy!
Have a VERY grateful Thanksgiving, and while you're out there, if you can...
SHARE A SMILE!
Thoughtfully,
Shara Carter
