Hello Friends,

Today is Thanksgiving, and I wanted to write a special holiday note to let all of you know how thankful I am for YOU!

Writing is my passion, and this blog is my creative outlet. Without you, my readers, I would not have anyone to share that passion with. So I want to take a moment to let all of you know that I appreciate you, and that I am sending up many thanks and well wishes for you on this holiday. I wish that I could visit with each and every one of you, share a glass of wine or some coffee and pie, chat about life, and sing a Christmas Carol or two to bring forth the upcoming holiday season!

For anyone who may be struggling right now, for whatever reason, you are in my thoughts most of all. I know that for some the holidays are a difficult time, especially if you are missing loved ones. I wish you strength and courage to face whatever is challenging you. I pray for your peace, and for happiness to find its way to you this holiday season. May you be deeply blessed today, and throughout the coming weeks.

For anyone embarking on Black Friday events tomorrow…please be safe, spread kindness, and have fun! I myself will be embarking on Small Business Saturday, since I’m a strong supporter of small businesses. Some of you may not know this, but my day job is processing SBA (Small Business Administration) loans for a local community bank that is a preferred SBA lender. Not only is it a job that blesses me with the ability to own my own home, pay all of my bills, and raise my children as a single mother, but it also allows me to help small business owners make their dreams come true. I love watching our small business customers in my town blossom and succeed!

Cheers and many blessings to you all!

Love,
Loren
