Thanks giving: 1. public acknowledgment or celebration of divine goodness. 2 : the act of giving thanks. 3 : a prayer expressing gratitude.

If you were to throw a celebration for all of the goodness in your life, what would you celebrate? 

Would it be your loved ones? Or your station in life? Your home, your career, your accomplishments? 

Would it be the simple things like everyday moments like waking up, turning on the lights, heat and having the ability to do selfcare, dress and go about your day freely? 

Most everyone would say yes.

As you gather this year, consider taking notice of all of the things you are grateful for. From the moment you wake until the moment you rest – take inventory of how blessed you are. This list can look different for every single person, even those living in the same home. We all see life differently. 

I would encourage you to take inventory of your life this week and remember why you have so much to be thankful for.

Ollin Women and everyone reading this, we are grateful for you. We are grateful for your personalities, your gifts, your talents, your time, and your generosity. We are grateful we have come together as one. We are grateful for personal peace and for the parts of the world that live in peace and harmony now. We respect your leadership, your voice and your presence. 

Thank you for being in our lives. We are better for it. As you gather and celebrate Thanksgiving this week, remember that you can be this grateful and full of thanks every single day. There is much to celebrate in our life. 

This is a reminder to look at what you do have instead of what you don’t. Where you put your focus, energy goes. When you focus on what you do have, you bring more of that to you. 

Thank you for being a blessing in the lives of others.

You are a gift.

Best, 

Manal
