Prep your heart and mind for a positive Thanksgiving

Hi everyone! This week I will be busy cleaning, cooking, and practicing deep breathing to NOT wind myself into a knot as I prepare to welcome family into our home for Thanksgiving. I’m looking forward to seeing everyone. However, I am NOT looking forward to prepping food for 18 people for several meals. Luckily, everyone likes to pitch in. (And the teenagers may not like to pitch in, but they will when prompted.)

I’m not gonna lie- I purchased three bottles of wine for the celebration. 🙂

This weekend during a long drive, I listened to a FANTASTIC podcast episode from Kelly Corrigan Wonders. In it, Kelly and her guest Anna Quinlan, both of them best selling authors, share pieces they have written in honor of Thanksgiving. The episode is funny, thruthful, and full of great advice for preparing your heart and mind for Thanksgiving. I strongly recommend you listen… like while you are baking pies or scrubbing toilets or packing. 🙂

Like Kelly and Anna, I encourage you to have an attitude of gratitude and forgiveness (for yourself and your family) this Thanksgiving.

Happy Thanksgiving!
