Thanksgiving Reflections

Thanksgiving has always been one of my favorite holidays — a chance to slow down, gather, and simply be grateful. In a season that can get busy quickly, this day feels like an invitation to pause and take stock of all the good woven into everyday life.

One of my favorite traditions happens around our dining table. Each year, everyone writes something they’re thankful for directly onto our Thanksgiving tablecloth. After the holiday, I embroider each message into the fabric. Over time it’s become a tapestry of memories, gratitude, and handwriting from loved ones at every season of life. It’s one of the simple ways we hold onto what matters most.

This year, I’m especially grateful for the people who allow me to walk alongside them during meaningful transitions — buying a home, selling one, or simply reaching out with a question. The trust placed in me is something I never take lightly.

Wherever this Thanksgiving finds you — surrounded by family, traveling, keeping things quiet, or carving out a peaceful moment — I hope you feel wrapped in warmth, comfort, and gratitude.

Wishing you a beautiful and restful Thanksgiving.
