“Rest and be thankful.”
– William Wadsworth
For me, these words by author William Wadsworth exemplify the month of November. With our exhaustive fall schedules, November is truly the month to express our thanks, and as much as we possibly can, rest because the month ahead happens at an even more hectic pace. Just take a look at this month’s calendar. From November 1st, there are only seven Fridays until Christmas!
Never fear – we are to help! To assist you with holiday planning, we bring you ‘Tis the Season, a holiday entertaining and dining guide, along with a holiday gift guide featuring some great gift ideas from local retailers. I don’t know about you, but I need all of the help I can get during the holidays, and from dinner party do’s and don’ts to bargain white wines, this special section will help you get holiday ready.
As the holidays near, I recognize that there are so many things that I am thankful for this year, and at the top of my list is a winning team. Our corporate culture is that of a team, and I am thankful for the amazing players who are invaluable to achieving our mission at absolutely! focus media. It takes us all to bring our readers and advertisers award-winning, informative, community magazines, and frankly, our team is a champion.
On this month’s cover, we feature another award-winning team: the surgeons and specialists at Houston Methodist Orthopedics & Sports Medicine. I had the opportunity to meet several members of this amazing team, and I assure you, they are champions in the operating room. You definitely want these professionals on your care team!
My home team is another thing that I am truly grateful for. At my house, that’s how we refer to our family and close circle of friends: our home team. We lift each other up, we are there for one another and we love unconditionally. It’s a gift to have amazing people in your life, and I am thankful for the many amazing people who bless my life daily.
From all of us at absolutely! focus media, Happy Thanksgiving and continued blessings. You are absolutely a blessing to us.
Absolutely! yours,
