Happy thanksgiving everyone!! I spent the last two days with my family and have loved every minute of it! I am so thankful for them and all that I have, it is truly a blessing to be alive. I am thankful for my wonderful kids who are amazing. I am thankful for an awesome career at Winco that I am getting better and better at! I am thankful for supportive parents who really care for me and have helped me throughout this amazing life I have lived. I feel very thankful for the food I have to eat and car I drive. I am thankful to have a roof over my head and be in a position to support and help others accomplish their goals. I am thankful for everyone who has followed along on my journey, even when it is from a distance. I am thankful that God created everything he has and that he has designed our lives far beyond our comprehension. I am thankful to be alive. No matter what happens in my life, I choose to give thanks because it could always be worse. I hope you choose to look on the bright side and embrace the challenges and obstacles that life brings your way. Life is a wild ride, and no-one gets out alive. You might as well enjoy the ride and be thankful for it!

Reflections: Gratitude as My Anchor

This Thanksgiving, surrounded by family laughter and the warmth of home, I'm reminded that gratitude isn't just a feeling—it's a choice. It turns what we have into enough, and more. From WinCo's team spirit to my kids' smiles, these moments fuel my mission.

Why This Matters for Your Journey

Gratitude shifts perspective—in finance (contentment with current means), business (appreciation for teams), and life (joy in the journey). It's the foundation for resilience and abundance.
