November 2, 2023 Thanksgiving Day
During this Thanksgiving Month and during one of the most challenging times on the planet in so many places for so many reasons, we are dedicating our Foundation for Women First Friday today to gratitude. We are asking that you pause at noon PT today and instead of joining us for conversation, please take a moment to be silent, to quiet the noise of the day, to put aside the news – and focus on your personal gratitude list.
The suffering for so many is unimaginable right now. We each have a choice in this moment, to choose Hope over Nihilism, Loving over Hating.
I am choosing Hope and Loving – and so happy to share these family photos from Thanksgiving Day in Liberia. We had a joyous day filled with much love, great conversation, swimming, and abundant food and drink – more food than those in attendance had seen for a very long time.

Things in Liberia are very hard, the democracy very fragile. The presidential election October 10th did not produce a winner of 50% plus one vote, so a runoff election is scheduled for November 14th. The country is holding its collective breath, as the polarization is tremendous, no middle ground. Little business is happening, rice is over $20/bag – up from $13 just a few months ago. People are praying constantly for a new chapter for their country, their world.
We as a Foundation for Women community have brought Hope and Loving to millions of people around the world. Together let’s collectively put that energy out at noon PT time today.
