November 11 – I am Grateful for…

Day 11… November 11

Today I am grateful for the men and women who have served and are currently serving our country to protect our freedoms as well as the freedoms of others around the world.

Today is Veteran’s Day in the United States, and Remembrance Day in Canada. It is a day to remember those who died and honor those who served in the military.

To be able to live in the United States is a blessing to me and one I don’t fully comprehend or understand because I have never lived anywhere else.

To be able to participate in the election this week, and see the democratic process, even for those that believe it is broken, is a gift and a responsibility for each of us as citizens.

To be able to design a life that I want and then move forward to create that life with very little relative difficulty is an amazing opportunity.

Those rights are maintained and fought for by those who are willing to sacrifice their time and lives on our behalf.

The freedoms I enjoy came at a cost that I don’t fully know because others were willing to fight in World War I and World War II and so many other military conflicts.

I have learned somewhat through books about World War II, some non-fiction, biographies, and some historical fiction, but the lessons greatest impacts for me today are being played out on the world stage.

For those that have seen “Saving Private Ryan”, that could have been the story or some of my ancestors. Gratefully my 5 great-uncles, all brothers to my grandmother, who served in various branches of the military during World War II we unharmed. Something miraculous for their widowed mother at the time.

In her own words she wrote,

My dad was enlisted in the Army and stationed in Chicago when he met my mom.

This picture shows all of them years later.

I have had cousins and currently have nephews serving in the military. I am grateful for all the service provided for our country that affords me the freedoms I am able to enjoy.

I am grateful to observe Veteran’s Day.

I help women face the overwhelm of parenting, family and multiple schedules, let go of the shame and people-pleasing perfectionism they place on themselves as women of faith, and create a life they love with intention and purpose. I can help you find your own answers for any problem, reach for any goal, and discover how to be more of yourself as you learn tools to use your own gifts to strengthen yourself emotionally, physically, intellectually and spiritually. In choosing to design your life and live into compassion and lessen the guilt and judgment, you can teach your family to do the same. Find the real you by showing up authentically for yourself and the ones you love. And remember... It's ALL good!!!
