“He who has not Christmas in his heart will never find it under a tree.”      ~Roy L. Smith, author

Tis the season for shopping til you’re blue in the face (or until someone pepper sprays you!)… stockpiling your baskets and SUVs with stuff many of  you really cannot afford , let alone even need… and, ultimately, stuffing away your Grinch-like feelings of greed and receipt-laden guilt.  But who’s to blame for your frenzied, Black Friday addictive actions?  

“Society drives people crazy with lust and calls it advertising.”   – John Lahr, drama critic

Surely not the scheming stores and malevolent marketing execs… for YOU bought into the game again!  YOU drove yourself to the store at 3AM!  YOU are still trying to top last year’s gift giving.  YOU still have your priorities out of whack.  Yup, I said it. 

Remember: too much will always be too much.  And the goods ain’t so good  if they only bring out the bad  in us.        ~  KD

“To give thanks in solitude is enough. Thanksgiving has wings and goes where it must go. Your prayer knows much more about it than you do.”     ~ Victor Hugo, poet, novelist & activist
 
Indeed, I am a Christian who cherishes Christmas and Easter for their innate awesome events and subsequent movements throughout the world.  But there is nothing quite like Thanksgiving.  Tis the most meaning-full holiday of the year, I believe…a truly holy day…  that crosses all boundaries and binds all faiths and followings.  It is a simple opportunity to gather without agenda, without guilt, without gaudiness and overpriced ticket items, without marketing schemes or madness. 
 
Pure in nature and message: GIVE THANKS for all you have in your life and FOR YOUR LIFE!  And share that with one another.  That’s it, folks.  A day that beckons you to drop your minutia-filled week and come together to connect and share and show love.  Not as difficult as some of us seem to make it.  And even if miles separate your loved ones, you’d be amazed how far your thoughts and prayers of peace and positivity can travel.  So this year, friends, with full heart I wish you all a simple, pure, love-filled and blessed Thanksgiving.  Further, I pray that you continue to give and show thanks every day thereafter.  It’s not that difficult.        ~  KD

“Never take NO from someone who can’t say YES.”     ~ Anonymous

NO.  Such a simple word, but for some it’s the knee in the gut that leaves them gasping for air, cussing like truckdrivers and taking two steps back on their paths to prayed-for success.  Being an entrepreneur hustling a living in the monstrous industries of entertainment and publishing, the word NO comes practically with every square meal each day.  And sometimes more.  Aaahhh…but that doesn’t mean I turn around and hide my head.  Hell, NO!  And neither should you.  Regroup, reload and refire, my friends.  ~KD
