🌾🦃 Reflecting on Thanksgiving: A Time to Remember 🍂🤝 As we observe Thanksgiving today, let's take a moment to honor and remember the indigenous peoples of this land. For many, this holiday is not a celebration, but a solemn reminder of a painful history. Centuries ago, when European settlers arrived in North America, they brought with them new traditions and customs. While Thanksgiving is often associated with unity and gratitude, it is also intertwined with the tragic loss and suffering experienced by indigenous communities. This day serves as a time to reflect on the countless lives that were disrupted, cultures that were forever changed, and the enduring resilience of indigenous peoples. It's crucial to acknowledge the deep pain and sorrow that has been associated with this historical event. While some indigenous communities have reclaimed this day as an opportunity to celebrate their cultures and the strength of their communities, it is essential for us all to engage in conversations that promote understanding, respect, and reconciliation. Let's remember that acknowledging the past can help us build a better future together. This Thanksgiving, let's not only express gratitude for the blessings in our lives but also commit ourselves to learning more about the history and experiences of indigenous peoples, supporting their communities, and working towards a more inclusive and equitable future for all. #Thanksgiving #IndigenousPeoples #History #Reflection #Reconciliation #Respect

This Thanksgiving, let's remember its dual nature. It's a day of gratitude, where families gather to appreciate life's blessings. However, we must also acknowledge the historical complexities tied to this day. Thanksgiving is a time for warmth, laughter, and appreciating the abundance in our lives. Families come together, sharing a meal and creating cherished memories. Yet, it's essential to recognize the darker aspects of Thanksgiving's history. Originating from a 1621 harvest feast, it later unfolded into a tragic narrative of colonization and mistreatment of Indigenous peoples. Today, let's embrace a more nuanced understanding. Expressing gratitude doesn't dismiss historical injustices. It involves acknowledging both joy and sorrow, celebration and mourning. As we give thanks, let's commit to learning about Indigenous histories, amplifying their voices, and supporting justice initiatives. Thanksgiving can be a day of reflection, learning, and a collective step toward a more equitable future.

Many of us will celebrate Thanksgiving tomorrow and we're aware it is a difficult time to give thanks. SPH Dean Sandro Galea reflects in a new Dean's Note. "It is reasonable to ask: can we, should we, still give thanks? Is there room for marking all we have when so many have lost so much? These questions are not easily answered, nor should they be. But on reflection, I have come to believe that, yes, we always need room for giving thanks, and that doing so is not a neutral activity—feeling and expressing gratitude can ground us and provide needed reflection."

First: Happy Thanksgiving my American brothers and sisters (no I'm not American but we share a continent... 😊 ) Second: You were put on this earth to do what only you can do. You were created on purpose and for a purpose. Most of us are not living in that purpose and are not in or surrounded by the right environment, encouragment, people or resources to do that thing you were created to do. I was told I was distracting and that I talked too much when I was a kid (I have report cards to prove it). I went into a career that was ok, but not meant for me. I was created to build relationships (see the misunderstanding my teachers had?), I was created to help people but with love and encouragment to change their lives in money and life dreams by the experiences that I've had and seen. The experience I have gives depth to my purpose. Here you'll have a chance to be invited to join a curated group of people who inspire us. Our goal is for Kaitlin and I to feel like a weiner in a steakhouse. We'll help you to find your purpose, encourage you, hold you accountable to your goals, give you a push when needed, help you find resources and work with you to collaborate with people you never thought possible. This is where you will do the thing you were created to do that changes the world in the way you were meant to impact it. https://lnkd.in/gzpa_RUc @bromleycoaching

On Substack: “What role do you think acknowledging that history, and its legacy today, should play in celebrating — or choosing not to celebrate — Thanksgiving? Do you think it is important to talk about the problematic and harmful history of colonization in relation to Thanksgiving? If yes, what should that conversation look like? What actions should be taken in light of that history?”

For those of us in the U.S., tomorrow is the Thanksgiving holiday. It is a complex one, given the ways the Thanksgiving story that is glorified tends to erase the colonization it rests upon. I think we can (and need to) practice accountability to histories of colonization, accountability to how Native Americans were and are harmed, how the Earth has been harmed. AND we can also practice gratitude for people, places, and social justice work that makes the world a better place. For those who don't acknowledge Thanksgiving, what are ways you can practice both accountability--from whatever social location and identity you hold--and gratitude for the beauty and love and hope in the world? Ultimately, we need both. Image description: image of water and mountains, with a layered red circle in the top right corner and black text in the center of the image.
