My family and I have a tradition…before we dig into the Thanksgiving feast in front of us, one of us makes a little speech/prayer then we go around the table and each person tells the rest of us what they are thankful for. I would like to do that now…I’m thankful for:

• my huband, my parents, my in-laws, my brothers, and my 7 dogs;
• the wonderful people I work with;
• the customers/pooches who come to Petite Pooch Chateau & Petite Pooch Plus;
• the students/graduates who come to/graduate from Petite Pooch Chateau Dog Grooming Academy;
• my health, the roof over my head, the comfortable life that is mine;
• my incredible career as a nurse, a corporate director, and as an entrepeneur;
• my landlords who allow me the opportunity to conduct business in stress-free environments;
• the troops who keep us safe and their families who who make the ultimate sacrifice.

The “Golden Handcuffs” were removed not by choice but by circumstance, but I’m a firm believer that “things happen for a reason” and when they do…one has to recognize and seize the opportunity. When I was “downsized” I had to look at what I was good at and what my passions were. I finally realized that I was good at business and passionate about dogs. So that’s the path I took.
