NOVEMBER 2013
THANKSGIVING
Being grateful is said to be the key for an abundant
life. This month we celebrate a tradition dating back to
the early settlers of our country. It is a time when all
immigrants and natives alike can show appreciation for
the chance to live in a country founded on principles of
opportunity and freedom. Sure, it’s a great time to get
together with family and friends or to watch football while
getting ready for the holidays. This year, Chanukah begins
the night before Thanksgiving and it appears the holiday
season is well under way.
Speaking of holidays, our feature story this month
has some great gift giving ideas. Kavita Channe is our
extraordinary cover girl, showing off some fabulous
jewels and clothes for the naughty and nice. Kavita is also
a fan favorite on the sidelines as well. Check her out on
facebook or follow her on twitter.
Another holiday I encourage everyone to remember is
Veterans Day on the 19th. If there is one group deserving
of our gratitude, it is those who serve, served or paid the
ultimate price for our freedom. Too many times we take
for granted our ability to celebrate every occasion without
concern for our security. So, find some way to show your
appreciation and respect for the men and women who
served our nation.
A friend recently started a website to honor vets one last
time. Here is the site, should you be inclined to support
the cause. www.honorflightsouthfl.org.
Lastly, it will be fifty years since the John F. Kennedy
assassination on the 22nd. JFK was a President whose
ideals transcended time, regardless of party affiliation, and
his inspiration took us beyond our imagination as a nation.
It is my hope those in Washington will rekindle his spirit
and work together to keep our country great and drive us
to limitless opportunities.
