Sharing Gratitude, And COVID-19 Fundraiser Event Coming Soon!!

Hey everyone!!

I hope that you're all having an awesome week so far and that your weekend was really good. I hope that school, work, and everything else are going really well! I know that it's been quite the transition period and that we're all still getting used to these very challenging times and these new ways of doing things, please know that I am always here for all of you whatever you need, keep staying strong and doing what you do, I know that we will make it through this together! Just gotta keep leaning on each other for support, and coming together to combine forces and make it through this!! We got this!! :)

Last week we kicked off our Fall 2020 programming, and we are off to a great start! Last week was a great first week of meetings and events, thank you so much to everyone who came, I had a lot of fun and I hope you did as well! We have lots more great stuff to look forward to, and I can't wait to share it all with everyone. And of course, we also have another very exciting thing coming up... our first-ever charity livestream to fundraise for COVID-19 Relief! We will be raising money for Doctors Without Borders, and we have a really great event in the works for the weekend of Saturday, October 10th and Sunday, October 11th. More details and the event flyer can be found below, so please check them out! Before we get into that, I would like to go over this week's topic: Sharing Gratitude!

To start off, I would like to say a huge THANK YOU to everyone who helped me celebrate my birthday over this past week, and who sent me a beautiful birthday wish! My birthday was last Sunday, September 20th... it feels so awesome to be 22 now! I don't know about you, but I'm feelin' 22!! :) All of your wishes mean so much to me and they made me so happy. I had so much fun celebrating with all of you, whether in-person or over Zoom! I appreciate you all so much and I had so much fun partying it up. I am so grateful to have so many amazing friends, you all made me feel so much love and I am thankful for each and every one of you. In these challenging times, I have found now more than ever that focusing on what I am grateful helps me to stay focused and centered in the present moment, and helps me to remember all of my blessings in my life. So again, a huge thank you to everyone for being the best friends I could ask for!! :)

So my question to all of you is, what are you most grateful for? What do you want to give thanks for in these times? I know we're all extremely stressed right now, but maybe just taking a moment out to focus on all of the gratitude we feel in our hearts can help us all feel a bit better. I know it does for me, so I encourage you to try it out for yourself as well, if you aren't already. :) Remember that there is always something we can find in each day to be thankful for, even if it's just the fact that we woke up in the morning. Keep your heart full of love and gratitude, and you may just find that this helps you even when the times get extra-tough. What are you most grateful for? Who are you most thankful for in your life? What are some of your greatest memories, and what are the moments that make you smile the most? Keep your heart and your mind full of what you love the most, and keep reminding yourself of how much you have to be grateful of in your life. And just remember that the best is yet to come!! :)

Please share with me what you are most grateful for if you would like, I would love to hear all about it!! Alright, so now here are some more details of our first-ever COVID-19 fundraiser stream, "Streaming For COVID-19 Relief"!!
