Thanksgiving for the Givers: Embrace the Spirit of the Season 

Thanksgiving is a time for family, gratitude, and reflection. For those of us who give—whether through time, energy, or kindness—this holiday season is a reminder to not only care for others but also to take care of ourselves. While we often focus on making sure others are happy, it’s important to remember that we, too, need support, love, and appreciation.

As a giver, you can’t pour from an empty cup. Self-care is key to continuing your role as a source of strength for others. This holiday season, give yourself permission to rest, recharge, and ask for help when you need it.

Thanksgiving is also a chance to reflect on the blessings in your life. Take a moment to appreciate the love and support you’ve received, no matter how big or small. Gratitude helps us find perspective and reminds us of the importance of connection.

Ultimately, Thanksgiving is about togetherness—celebrating the bonds that bring us closer, whether through family or chosen relationships. This season, remember to give and receive love. Your kindness matters, and you are appreciated more than you know.

So, as we take a moment to pause and reflect, remember to pick up the phone to say “Happy Thanksgiving.” Share the love with those around you and take time to celebrate the connections that truly matter.
