Happy Thanksgiving! It’s the time of year when family and friends come together to give thanks, share stories, and of course, to eat!
Thanksgiving Day, in the United States, is celebrated on the fourth Thursday in the month of November, marking the end of the harvest season. This day is dedicated specifically to express thanks for one’s material and spiritual prosperity. It is also a time of reflection when one journeys to the deepest levels of the soul and purges what negative energy has been carrying on. Examine past actions and interactions, are there any self-sabotaging malicious thoughts lingering about? This holiday inspires us to venture back to our roots, to the times of our ancients to collect knowledge that will help us break the vicious cycle of broken relationships and separatism.
Practice Tolerance, Forgiveness and Gratitude this Thanksgiving, and carry this out through the holiday season and the new year. Have a Joyful celebration!
People all over the country celebrate this Day of Giving Thanks in many ways. Celebrate the season!

“…We hope that you can schedule some time in the coming weeks to help encourage others not to eat turkeys. Most people don’t know that 300 million turkeys are killed in the U.S. each year. Forty million for Thanksgiving alone, visit Peta.org http://petaliterature.com/prodinfo.asp?number=VEG228 for more information.
You can help make Thanksgiving a day of true thanks for humans and nonhumans alike by encouraging your friends and family to celebrate with a compassionate vegetarian feast. Not only will you spare the lives of countless turkeys, you’ll also help your loved ones prolong their own lives!
