Al reunirnos para las fiestas, recordamos el poder de la gratitud y la conexión. Este día nos invita a celebrar los momentos, las personas y las tradiciones que nos nutren. Al mismo tiempo, sabemos que esta temporada puede ser difícil para muchos y que compartir espacio con los demás es más importante que nunca.

Hoy, tomémonos un momento para apreciar las pequeñas alegrías y compartir conversaciones que nos brinden consuelo y sanación. Un simple saludo, una palabra amable o una comida compartida pueden marcar la diferencia.

¿Qué tradiciones o prácticas de Acción de Gracias te brindan paz y te ayudan a conectar con la realidad? Nos encantaría saber de ti. Juntos, seguimos construyendo una comunidad compasiva y solidaria. 🧡

As we gather for the holidays, we are reminded of the power of gratitude and connection. This day invites us to celebrate the moments, people, and traditions that nourish our spirits. At the same time, we know that this season can be difficult for many — and holding space for each other matters more than ever.

Today, let’s take a moment to appreciate the small joys, reach out to those who may be struggling, and share conversations that bring comfort and healing. A simple check-in, a kind word, or a shared meal can make all the difference.

What Thanksgiving traditions or practices bring you peace and grounding? We’d love to hear from you. Together, we continue building a compassionate and supportive community. 🧡
