Today is a day we take stock of what we are thankful for. First and foremost, I’m thankful to be “above ground” and alive. I have my health. Having lived on the streets of Philly on a cold winter night for the first time in my life with the homeless in 2020, I’m thankful to have a home and food. I’m thankful for the family and friends that I am blessed to have that I am able to share my journey with.
During my “Leap Year of Firsts” of the pandemic of 2020 I became thankful for many, many things. I was grateful to be able to save, my company, the jobs of my employees and many other employees of other distressed companies. I’m thankful for the many firsts that I lived and learned so much from during 2020. I’m thankful for the firsts I continue to pursue to this day as they present themselves. They are just not every day. I’m thankful to have become an “official” mentor for the first time recently to an incredible young man, Carlos Aponte of We Love Philly. I’m grateful for the opportunity for my first artificially intelligence generated audio book, that I’m currently editing. I appreciate the opportunity to do my first upcoming TED Talk to hopefully help others. I’m THANKFUL! So, I ask, What are You Thankful For?
As I end my first, and only book I ever wrote… “I’m forever grateful. With much Love.” Happy Thanksgiving!
