As a result of the steadfast efforts of journalist Sarah Josepha Hale, Congress passed a Bill to declare Thanksgiving as a national holiday to be celebrated the last Thursday of each November. As you prepare to celebrate Thanksgiving, I invite you to review all the blessings in your life that you are grateful for, and then consider the challenges that you overcame that were at the foundation of those blessings – and honor those events in your life with your gratitude as well.

If attending an event will create undue stress and strain, or is counter to your values, be clear about it and take steps to maintain the joy in your life and in your memories of the season.

In your past lives you will uncover the roots of your challenges, the basis of your relationships and preferences, the richness of your skills and talents, and the most profound meaning and purpose of your existence.

Surprisingly – or maybe not – most people say they had all the necessary clues within the first date or encounter. Rarely is a person so good at concealing their nature that they can hide all the evidence!
