Giving Thanks

As a small child (my mom says I was 9 or 10), I would accompany my father in yes, you guessed it, a Clark Griswold-style station wagon loaded with gift baskets, and deliver them the week before Christmas to thank his clients for all their support throughout the year. This tradition stuck with me, and I couldn’t be more thankful…

Celebration of Hope

Being a student of biology and watching my staff get all giddy over another staff person becoming a grandma, a thought came to me. Isn’t it interesting how excited we get about birth? And then it dawned on me — this is exactly what Christmas is all about…

Love is the Currency that Enriches this World

On behalf of my family and staff, I truly wish each and every one of you the most meaningful Christmas ever! I still believe there is "magic" in Christmas (yes, even for adults).

Black Friday

Well, we weathered the emotional challenges of this year’s unique Thanksgiving celebration. What traditionally is a gathering of 45 to 60 attendees was, this year, a gathering of 5. Thanksgiving - in most of my family’s minds - is the best holiday of all… no gifts, no major decorations, just show up and eat! Which leads me to today… I find it quite interesting that Black Friday is, in some ways, the juxtaposition to Thanksgiving. In this week’s #fridaypfisterfix, I explore what’s really important as we continue into the holiday season…
