Good Afternoon Urban Princess/ Queen,

Wow, the holidays are quickly approaching and I personally have so much to be thankful for. This blog isn’t about me. I want you to focus for a second on the blessings in your life. Close your eyes and breath in the air, listen to the noise around you, smell the aroma, and touch your face. Amazing!! These are all things we take advantage of on a daily basis. We become so accustomed to having we lose sight of the fact that everyone isn’t as fortunate. Many children are born handicapped every day, but we yell at out siblings for listening to our conversations, touching our things and having to much energy. Some children will never know the joys of running through the park with friends.

Children in Africa are fighting for clean water and food. Kids in our neighborhoods are losing parents to cancer, aids and other terminal illnesses. Young ladies count your blessings and spread them around. Giving abundantly isn’t something I just say. It’s something I do! You posses the power of inspiration. You can simply say hello, how are you? And put a smile on someone’s face. We walk around thinking it doesn’t matter. It matters. We need to care about each other. We need to give to each other. We need to value life. We need to rejoice in each other’s accomplishments, instead of magnifying one another’s defeats.

This Thanksgiving don’t just be thankful for what you have. Go out and help someone be thankful for what they have. Give away something. Some family needs your clothes, shoes, couch, and food whatever.

Let’s continue the trend of thanks far after Thanksgiving is over.

-Live, Give and Love Abundantly
