A favor please…
Take a moment and hold our beautiful 🌍 in your heartspace. Let it know that you will do all you can to nurture it and its resources. Then open that space even more and within it hold all the people who have been affected by mother nature and are suffering. Send them pure light and love. We all need each other’s hope and strength shared with those who have plum run out.

I saw this through tears as I was driving home after a particularly bad day at work. My tears evaporated, replaced by a smile and a new sense of being supported by the heavens. ❤️

My favorite post! And by a 13 year old!!!

This drawing is by Anja Rozen, a 13-year-old primary school student in Slovenia. She was chosen from 600,000 children around the world to create a piece of art to show what peace looks like.

She is the winner of the international Plakat Miru competition.
"My drawing represents the land that binds us and unites us."

"Humans are woven together. If someone gives up, others fall. We are all connected to our planet and to each other, but unfortunately we are little aware of it. We are woven together. Other people weave alongside me my own story; and I weave theirs," said the young designer.

How wonderful is this? Did you see how it only took one animal to take a step forward for all the others to do the same (well there was one in the background oblivious, but isn’t that always the way??). A life lesson on the farm. ❤️

A Clairbeing friend found and commented on this post from 2018. How beautiful that it came on the day our 15 year old “Piper” passed away. She is indeed a butterfly. Thank you Joanne Smith for reminding me❤️

We are all gifted wings of change.

I melted when I watched this. Here is a challenge for you. Next time you are at the drive through, surprise the person who gives you your food with a $10 or $20 bill and say Merry Christmas (If you don’t have $, just simply make eye contact and share a smile). The giving endorphins will carry you through the day. Peace.

I love this!

There is a lot to like about Thanksgiving. I love the fact we don’t buy each other gifts. You don’t have to draw names in advance. You don’t have to get a loan to celebrate Thanksgiving. You buy some food, make it, eat it and clean it up. Simple. Come to think of it, this year you may have to get a loan to buy food. Gas to go to Grandma's? Another loan but I digress.

I love the fact that we have one standardized Thanksgiving narrative (regardless of historical accuracy) and we stick to it. I am glad we don’t have fictional stories on Thanksgiving. No one wants to hear about the Thanksgiving Puritan riding in a magical Buggy pulled by anti-biotic and steroid free turkeys who travel all over the world on Thanksgiving Eve delivering unusually appreciative children cans of canned, gelatinous cranberry sauce and tossing in corporately sponsored can openers.

Thanksgiving is about turkey, dressing, mashed potatoes, gravy, your Nana’s special dish and desserts made of pumpkins, cherries and pecans. It is about family, friends and football but most of all it is about taking time to remember. Thanksgiving is where we have conversations with people long since gone who sit in empty chairs in the houses of our childhoods. We smile at them and they smile back. We used to sing a song at church called, “Count Your Blessings” and for me, Thanksgiving is a time to do just that. “Count your blessings, name them one by one.”

With Halloween out of the way and November upon us, it is time to lock into Thanksgiving. Here are twelve hacks that I humbly offer to you and yours:

1) Make everyone stay at the table for a full hour. Set a timer. No one leaves. No one. “Are you done eating? Who cares? Sit down.” And not a bit of dessert or a sip of coffee for forty-five minutes.

2) No phones at the table. None. If you look at your phone, it goes in the turkey carcass with the stuffing until supper. If your phone rings, you are doing dishes. No exceptions. Late violations can carry over to next year.

3) Say grace. Old fashioned. Heads bowed, eyes closed, holding hands. Have the patriarch or matriarch do it. Kids are cute. Let old people say grace. One person can keep their eyes open to monitor.

4) Remember those by name who are not in their chairs this year. Speak out the names of deceased loved ones. Remember their lives, place in your family and their sacrifice.

5) Tell your favorite Thanksgiving stories. The year of the huge Thanksgiving blizzard. The year when it was like summer outside and everyone went on a walk. The big family football game of 1972. The sweet potato casserole debacle of 2001. When the dog ate the turkey. Get out the old photos. The kind you don’t have on your phone.

6) Laugh. A lot. Tell your funniest family stories. Make them better than last year.

7) Count your blessings. Slow it down. Focus on what you have in front of you instead of what or who is missing. Have people share one thing for which they are thankful right before dessert.

8 ) Tell the people around your table just how much you love them and why they are special to you. There are no guarantees they will be here next Thanksgiving. Or you either for that matter.

9) Help clean up and stick around. Clear the table. Watch some football. Remember great Thanksgiving football games past! Google Clint Longley. Take a nap. Go on a walk. Drink coffee. Drink more coffee.

10) Give thanks. Find a moment to get away, drop to your knees and personally tell God thank you.

11) Don’t talk politics. If anyone does, construct them a home-made political button denoting the opposite party and touting the name of their least favorite president of all time. Make them wear it all day. No button, no pie.

12) Make the best of things. Things will never be “perfect.” Take what you have and make the best of it. No matter how things go, at least you are not a turkey.

Why do I write? Because you wouldn’t want to eat the turkey and dressing, gobble up the pie and miss the point.
