Happy Thanksgiving

"Do we celebrate Thanksgiving?"


The question was inspired by an observation of purple lights that were festive for the "holiday" season instead of being specifically for Christmas, and the brief example of different traditions that followed.

I suppose a simple "yes" would have sufficed but...


I know the Disney-fied story about Thanksgiving that many grew up with is not the true story. This time of  year can provide much inspiration to learn...

We can always learn and we can always be grateful.



Blessed Be...

Love,

Crazy Little Thing Called Life

All aboard the crazy train!


I might be losing my grip. There's way too many things to do and not enough time to do them. The dishes are piling up in the sink (nobody wants to see THAT picture) and the suitcases are piling up by the door. I haven't unpacked yet, but need to pack again. I'm STILL not completely sure where I'll be for Thanksgiving and there are seven shows on the horizon to prepare for.


On the bright side...


It was a great disco gig on Friday. (Friday night, and the strip is hot, HOT, Sun gone down and...)
Oops. I launched into a verse of Bad Girls. #SeeWhatIMean



And despite all the craziness and lack of sleep, I'm deeply grateful for the opportunities to do what I do, work with a wonderful cast of fine and talented characters, and fill my days with life and song. 

Have a beautiful time over the holiday everyone!

Happy Thanksgiving. #GobbleGobble



Love,

Social Media Appreciation Day

Remember when we had to call everyone on Thanksgiving and the list would be so long and everyone would be getting hungry and there would always be someone who you wanted to call but didn't because there just wasn't enough time? Well, maybe I'm exaggerating a little (not really) but there were only so many people we could get in touch with. I usually only got to the closest family members. We wouldn't get to see everyone else's Thanksgiving table right away unless we went around visiting. Pictures would come later - if at all.

How times have changed.

Fun with Snapchat

Russell and Me on the Thanksgiving Day Drive

I'm feeling grateful to be able to stay in touch with so many people! Along with having a great time posting, I got a firsthand view into the homes of so many friends over the holiday. Texts, pictures, videos, funny stories, laughter... all made Thanksgiving even bigger. 

All of the special people in my extended family and all of the people I've met and worked with over the years don't always know how much they mean to me. Projects change, people get busy, time slips by and sometimes I think of people that I haven't seen in years and wonder how they're doing. Now they're just a click away. That's great!

This week I'm celebrating the gift of staying connected with family, old friends and new friends from all over the world thanks to social media. Here's to a week filled with Blessings...

Namaste,

TURKEY DAY!


:)

Sometimes, on Thanksgiving, we go around the table and everyone takes turns saying what they are grateful for. I love that part. That, and the pie.

Here's wishing everyone a very happy, healthy and safe holiday with a lot of laughter and warmth. Happy Thanksgiving!



Namaste,
T

Thanksgiving Leftovers

I am going to keep Thanksgiving. I am going to carry it right over into this week and beyond.

I look in hope or fear;
But, grateful, take the good I find,
The best of now and here."
