 Where does one begin to give... Thanks? 

I can start with my family...childhood to present!  As my dad lay dying, I rested my head on his chest and thanked him for being my safety net.  I have travelled all over the world.  Lived on the streets of Paris, fell in love with New York living, and dined with Randolph Hearst...only because I had a family that was always there for me! I knew that I could pick up the phone, and be home safely within hours!  That empowered me to take risks that I never would have dreamed of doing!

Now, my sweet Pa-boy is in heaven, watching over me..and, all my family.  I can talked to him at any time, cause he is always here with me.  I knew he was patient, but WOW..now, he is tolerant of my spazzy, schitzo escapades!  thanks Pa!

Today, I am so grateful for my family, even though some of them don't tolerate our shortcomings as well, they are still "family".  I guess it adds interest!  Anyway, I couldn't have my amazing business without them...Lizzy, Margie, Theresa, Jim Here, and of course, the Monkey, (my momma)!  I am so grateful for each and everyone of you! I LOVE you!

I am grateful for Marie...my business partner for the past two and half years.  She has taught me how to organize, expedite, and polish the rough edges.   Since I have always been an "unmade bed" in the office, I can emulate her organizational skills...and, carry on!  You have really raised my "Bar" in quality control!  I LOVE you! Thank you so much!

I am grateful for all the people that are coming into my life, currently!  Kathy, you will help rock this boat into a ship!  I have faith in you, just like you do in me!  Thanks! 

I am grateful for my four little boys!  I would NOT be here if it weren't for Dexter, Gordy, Gladstone, and baby Lewis.  You have gotten up and out of bed so many times, when I felt like I wanted to hide under the covers.  My true goal has always been to have kept you healthy, happy, and purring...yes, they have four legs, a tail, and use a litter box!  And, I love them more than my own life! They are my Angels...my direct line to God!  Thank you...Meow!

I am grateful to all my Yoga students..where would I be without you!!?!??!  You drag yourself to class, work your asses off, and are always joyful!  You are the warriors and pioneers...I get to just show up...and, have fun!  Thank you!!

I am so thankful for my friends...Snaps... you are my dearest, bestest, and coolest friend!  I love you so much...and, you have to start flying again!  We need to be in NYC together! I love you with all my heart!  Otter, Kitty Goat, (she is in three categories..sister and friend, and soulmate!)  My barnyard pals...I love you!

I am so incredibly grateful and thankful that I am a humble Poni!  I have learned to treat myself as an innocent animal...doing the best I can!  I am a feisty, ambitious Poni..as liz says, I will just keep climbing up that hill!!  Well, it's a huge mountain, but with all this love, it feels like an ant hill! I have all your wind beneath my hooves...and, I am floating with delight through life!  Couldn't do it without any of you!

I am thankful for the Universal Power of God...in everything..there is that magic of Heaven! Thank you for showing me the way...so, I can relax and thoroughly enjoy this exciting, bumpy, ride! I truly believe that I am not only on the right path, but I get to feel each magic moment of it...cause, it's already happened!

I am thankful that I get to go to Liz's today and PIG OUT!!  Turkey, stuffing, Mom's cranberries...pie!   

C'mon, Poni's have to eat, too!

 THANK YOU!
