Dear Friend,
      This month is about being grateful and recognizing the gifts that exist in our lives. It's easy to loose focus as the days speed by, but never wrong to be reminded even once a year that we have much to be thankful for.
     As families come together to celebrate Thanksgiving, being together might produce uncomfortable moments.  Family dynamics will never change without effort and action to create a new experience. If you find yourself among the millions of people who wish their family could be different, the new book from David Brooks ( see below) might inspire another way to think about and approach change. We highly recommend watching the video below to get a taste of what is in the book. So relevant for the holidays and all year long for that matter.
     Postpone Nothing is about the large and the small. Listed below are organizations who decided to take action and help those who could not help themselves, or who inspired others  to make a decision to enrich their own lives by helping someone else.  No matter what cause or size there is room for you to be a part of something greater. Find what is meaningful to you and postpone nothing to join hands and make the world a better place. 
Peace.
The Postpone Nothing Team 

As David Brooks observes, “There is one skill that lies at the heart of any healthy person, family, school, community organization, or society: the ability to see someone else deeply and make them feel seen—to accurately know another person, to let them feel valued, heard, and understood.”

And yet we humans don’t do this well. All around us are people who feel invisible, unseen, misunderstood. In How to Know a Person, Brooks sets out to help us do better, posing questions that are essential for all of us: If you want to know a person, what kind of attention should you cast on them? What kind of conversations should you have? What parts of a person’s story should you pay attention to?  Learn More
