Dr. Cheralyn Leeby – Why We Need to Celebrate ThanksGiving Every Day

One of my favorite holidays is Thanksgiving. Not only is it the one day out of the year when you don’t get penalized for eating too much—the calories you consume on that day don’t count --it’s also a day to celebrate family, togetherness and love.My guest on this episode of Dream Power Radio therapist and author Dr. Cheralyn Leeby maintains there’s more meaning to this day. She says each part of this compound word, “thanks” and “giving”, are meant to be action words. When we practice both thanks and giving, she declares we are able to heal ourselves and so much more. How? She tells us:•how to transform personal grief into positivity•how you can incorporate Thanks+Giving into your life•the word more powerful than ‘awesome’•how to turn human ‘being’ into human ‘doing’It’s time to make every day Thanks+Giving.
