Holidays - So much to say thank you for

I LOVE the holiday season. I love the decorations, music and the energy that is created by all the kids counting down the days until they get those wonderful gifts! I love seeing family and this year I get the bonus of my mother coming to visit from Australia (and see my house for the first time). I love dressing my house up like a Hollywood pooch - ribbons, garlands and a tree with flashing lights and I love eating way to much on Thanksgiving and then falling asleep in the armchair in the afternoon in a food coma. I love waking up to pancakes on Christmas morning and seeing the neighborhood kids out on their new bicycles or playing with their new balls.

With all the negative news and terrible job losses this year, its time we give ourselves a break and remember all the reasons we enjoy this life so much. There is so much to be thankful for and I am loving every day as I choose my path forward.

When I started Cute-ture, it was to have something of my own that enabled me to set the rules and live by the values that matter to me. It was to have a company that put people first (especially the little one's) and that cared about the future. It was to provide a place where I could create, laugh and work in a way that was open and enjoyable. I am blessed to have my family behind me and my husband on board as my co-pilot. And I blessed everyday to have children playing with our toys and wearing our clothing while knowing that in doing so - we have been able to help those that can't afford to buy new toys and wear new clothes.

So today - in a day of more market drops and anxiety - I challenge you to write down what you are thankful for and sing it out loud. We are all in it together and while I may not know you personally I am here for you. Have a great day!
