Happy Thanks Giving!

During the Thanksgiving holiday most of us will spend time feasting with our family and friends, a time that can be made even more delicious when there’s meaningful conversation around the table. Sometimes we have to help make this happen! You can plant the seed for a great “round-table” conversation with one of the following questions:

What in your life are you especially grateful for?
What is one of your favorite memories from this year?
What do you feel really good about accomplishing this year?
What is making your heart sing these days?
What would you like to bring into your life this coming year?

You may say, “It’s such a blessing to be together, and I’d love for each of us to share what is making our hearts sing these days. I’ll begin!”

Pose just one question to keep it simple and answer it first to give an example. Do your best to make sure that everyone has a turn, gently guiding the conversation back if necessary so that each person has the chance to share. If you notice that everyone is really enjoying connecting like this, you can suggest a second round with a new question.

Such full-circle sharing invites us to talk about what really matters to us. Our hearts open as we listen to each other.There is a point where we don’t just see our tablemates, we feel them. Connect with them. Touched by the words that well up from the depths of experience, we naturally embrace this time with these people, right here, right now, as a one-of-a-kind feast of blessings.

May Your Feast Be Extraordinary!
