As we gather around tables filled with food, laughter, and connection this Thanksgiving, I want to hold space for both gratitude and truth. This day invites us to celebrate abundance and togetherness, but it also carries the weight of a history that deserves to be remembered—the stories of colonization, resilience, and pain that shaped the land we now share. Today, I’m reminded of the strength in holding two truths at once: gratitude for the blessings in our lives and reverence for the complexity of our shared history. It’s a reminder that healing and growth begin with acknowledgment, whether in our personal journeys or the larger stories that connect us. May your day be filled with nourishment—both for your body and your spirit—and may we all continue to walk toward deeper understanding, compassion, and connection. With heartfelt gratitude, |
