Year-end Reflections 2008

by Stacy on November 15, 2008

Happy Thanksgiving and UNTIL NEXT YEAR!!

My mom and I will be meeting in Washington, DC the week before Thanksgiving to see Andrea Bocelli and Carmen. We’re both looking forward to our trip! Then it’s back to San Diego for Thanksgiving week with friends and family.

On December 10th, I’ll again be traveling to Nicaragua through 1/4/09. I’ll be staying with my friend Bonnie who has lived there just over a year now. She loves it and continues to spend much of her time volunteering with local Nicaraguans. She is still teaching English classes to various people to improve their businesses. She also goes out with their ONLY mobile library program and most recently, is forming a collaboration of locals and ex-pats to start a women’s center.

At this time of Thanksgiving, please remember to count your blessings and spread love and kindness to those around you. The current economic times are challenging for everyone, but for some, they are completely unmanageable. I encourage you to act on any desire to contribute, volunteer or help others in any way possible this season. You will reap the rewards and see the beauty of some of life’s greatest gifts for everyone involved.

May you and yours have a blessed, joyous, peaceful and safe holiday season and a prosperous and healthy New Year!

You’ve been HUGGED!!

Stacy
