Dear Girlfriends,
Thanksgiving is such a special time—a day set aside to reflect on our blessings and express gratitude for the people who make our lives worth living. As I honor my grandmother, I’ve learned the value of taking a moment to let others know they matter. This Thanksgiving, I encourage you to do the same.
There are so many ways to show our gratitude. You might choose a warm hug, a kind word, a small gift, or simply spending time together. Sometimes, the simplest gestures—like sharing a laugh or lending a helping hand—are the ones that mean the most.
But here’s another idea: pick up the phone. Call that sibling, cousin, or friend you haven’t spoken to in a while. Think how wonderful it would be to hear their voice, tell them you’ve been thinking of them, and remind them how much they mean to you. You’ll brighten their day and maybe even rekindle a tradition of connecting more often. It will only take you a moment.
When we take these moments to reach out, we show people we still love them and that they’re worth our time and thought. It’s a gift more precious than any material thing or any amount of money because it comes straight from the heart.
I like to think that every act of love and kindness I offer honors my grandmother, who taught me the importance of caring for others. Whenever I extend love and compassion, I feel her presence with me, and it fills me with joy. The other day, while visiting my grandmother. I said, "Granny, I love you," and she said, "I love you more." For some, those are mere words. At that moment, I knew those words were from her heart.
So, this Thanksgiving, let’s carry forward the spirit of love, reconnecting with a loved one. Together, we can make this season even more meaningful. What are you most thankful for this Thanksgiving? This year, I am most grateful to be a grandmother.
Wishing you and your family a Happy Thanksgiving filled with love, laughter, blessings, and togetherness.
With love,
Dr. Sheila Hill
