Thankful

Thanksgiving is almost here. Yumm...turkey, pumpkin pie, laughter, friends, family...I love it! There's so much to be truly grateful for. If you really want to be in the thankful mode, watch Hawaii Stars-Concert of Extraordinary Abilities Thanksgiving night on Channel 2. Kanoe and Pastor Wayne were judges and I was a guest performer.

This event was a tear jerker and a real eye opener. It's amazing to see people who are blind, deaf, or disabled in some way carry on and pursue their dreams. Although their bodies are inhibited, their hearts, faith, and grattitude are fully intact.

Kanoe and I have a niece, Brittany, who has Down's Syndrome. We're especially moved by people with disabilities because of her. She's the most honest, joyful, loving person I know. In no way do I think of her as disabled.

Be sure to watch the show and be prepared with a box of tissue! Have a very Happy Thanksgiving and enjoy your loved ones. Thank you for all of you who are so supportive-Jane, Abi, "the twins," Stephen, Scott, Sarah, Sandy and many others. God Bless!
