As I begin this day preparing for our family gathering tomorrow, I’m taking a moment to be “In the Moment” and be grateful for the beautiful chaos that surrounds me. I’m grateful for my kids that are home from college for the holiday; for the dogs barking as they run and play through the house; for the wonderful smells of cinnamon and sage that are drifting from the kitchen, and I’m so very grateful for my family and friends that I’ll be sharing this joyful holiday with once again. And yes, in this moment, I’m grateful for my lovely cup of hot coffee to get me going!
This time of year always brings an opportunity to reflect on all that life has brought to me this past year, and the gratitude I feel for the many blessings I’ve received. In my business, this includes my amazing team, without whom I could not do what I do; our incredible clients, who are constant inspirations to us; and YOU, my colleagues, peers, friends and followers in the workforce development profession.
To you, I want to express my gratitude and appreciation for the investment you make in the lives of others—your hard work, time and energy. Your devotion to inclusion for all has no limits, and for that my heart is full of gratitude.
I leave you with this …
“Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today, and creates a vision for tomorrow.” – Melody Beattie
Here’s wishing you a healthy and joyous holiday!
