thankfulness

Every day I am thankful for... the love and joy my adorable dog KoKo has brought to my life, the role model that my mother was to me...truly an inspiration to holding true to values and treating others how you want to be treated; my family -- my brothers are my rock on a day to day basis; my sister in laws are my sisters and the six little ones make me smile just by texting me, sending me a letter, or even looking at their picture -- they are my heart; my extended family -- every aunt, uncle and cousin; my home (which is also my office) -- it's cozy and i love it; my business--almost 1 year old and growing up, so happy; football, food, and friends and a day designed to honor and enjoy all of those things :); an opportunity to start a new tradition, after 35 years of thanksgiving in one place, a chance to enjoy it with a different type of family -- my west coast friends; my bestest friends from growing up -- still has close as ever, they are my soul; all of my darlin friends i've made and grown with through my younger years, college, 14 years of "agency life" and everyone i've meet in between -- they've helped shaped me to be who I am today, they've listened, they've shown up (and sometimes did not but hey, we forgive), and most of all they make me smile and laugh; my meditation practice and teacher; my health -- should've listed this first as w/o it we have nothing; great shoes; awesome wine; a home cooked meal; a fun meal out that i don't have to cook (as mom used to say ;); the weather in LA; my happiness; my ability to find a silver lining in anything; my blog readers; my passion; my integrity; my authenticness; ice cream; my clients - who believed in me "early on"; my coaching colleagues; my past -- it's part of my journey and it's why I am where I am; did I mention my mom....she's the light in my eyes...and today I take time to honor the things I'm thankful for.

Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours. xoxo
