I hope everyone enjoyed their Thanksgiving Day with family and friends. I was giving thanks for the wonderful things that have happened in my life over the last couple of years. Sometime when you least expect it, the best outcomes come your way.

Bob Frelund from National Best Sellers called last week to ask if there was anyone who needed help this Thanksgiving. I had two families in need of a Thanksgiving dinner so, of course, Bob came to the rescue as usual. It is great when things happen magically.
