Happy Thanksgiving!
Colette is making her way to one of her favourite cities (*sighs* yes she wishes it was going to be Paris) – New York City!
Woo! Woo!
I will be going to NYC today after work and taking my son with me to visit a very dear friend. While there I will be showing my son the sights and sounds of the city that never sleeps; one of the greatest cities on earth – can’t wait.
I wish you all a very happy, blessed and safe holiday with the ones you love. Don’t eat too much.
Every year at this time I tell people (mainly my students) to just say no to the madness that seems to take over at this time of year, masquerading as ‘holiday obligations’. You don’t have to participate. You don’t have to drive yourself (and by extension, others) crazy. That’s not to say don’t give into the holiday season and the spirit of giving – but that does not mean you have to shop ‘till you drop, go into debt, spread yourself too thin and do too much. Just relax, breathe and try to remember what it’s all about, being thankful, family and traditions, loving and caring for each other, giving of yourself. Sometimes it’s not about the gifts under the tree, it’s about the gifts in your heart. Let grace surround you and embrace the grace within.
Namaste,
Colette

Have a wonderful time darling, and please bring me back a magnet! One with the skyline on it preferable!
I'm serious about that, for my fridge magnet collection.
So, you're making a Pilgramage for the holiday of Pilgrams?
I'll be missing you while you are gone.
