I hope everyone is good. I hope everyone is great. I hope that you are in a relaxing mood.

The holiday season is upon us. We only have a few days. And I'm going to tell you something.

One thing about me and my children know, you know, the Christmas season is not what it is

going out splurging and spending a lot of money because even with the things that I could buy

what I could give from my heart is love and nurturing and really being there and that is

packing orders, and working.

You know, the things that we pray for, right?

We pray and we envision it.

And we want them to happen. And then when they hit us all of a sudden, I realize, you know, that is not the moment for complaints. It is the moment of joy because

God gave us exactly what we asked for. We didn't ask for the conditions. We just asked for it to be

what it is. And so in this moment I'm celebrating,
