Week #8:

Celebrate With Even More THANKSgiving This Year

This Thanksgiving can easily feel as fragile as the leaves we were picking up

over the last several weeks. Maybe what we need is to gently hold out our

hands to fill them

FULL of THANKSGIVING

" What if we committed to creating an even more meaningful Thanksgiving than in years past, allowing ourselves to feel more love and gratitude than we ever made room for before? . . . Considering that we all have a lot on our plates at the moment, here's a quick and gentle way to start moving into gratefulness mode. . . Let's each find a few minutes to gather our thoughts and send them flying across the miles. It will fill your own heart with gladness, guaranteed."

"Call to mind someone for whom you feel particularly grateful. . .Consider all the different ways they have helped you, or contributed to you or the world, and see the goodness within them."

So, in gratefulness and THANKSgiving to you, our World's Window friends,

“May you see the goodness we see in you.”

“May you love yourself as much as you are loved by others.”

“May you see and appreciate what we see and appreciate in you.”

“May you feel healthy and happy.”*

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!

SHOP SMALL

in Brookside this Saturday, November 28 and throughout the Holidays!

Brookside is ready to celebrate Small Business Saturday on November 28th. For over 100 years, holiday shoppers have flocked to Brookside to find the best in local shopping. Kansas City is known for its support of small business and many merchants count on the fervor of holiday shopping every year. Now more than ever, the annual Small Business Saturday holiday event supports small business across the country.

Every time you buy a gift from your favorite Brookside shop, you're shopping small and making a difference. In fact, for every dollar spent at one of the Brookside shops, approximately 67 cents stays in the local community. So when you Shop Small on Small Business Saturday—and all year long—it adds up to a big impact for small business owners and for our neighborhood.

Grab a mask and stroll through the Brookside shops, enjoy the holiday lights and decorations, and peruse a variety of shops, services, and restaurants during normal business hours on Small Business Saturday, November 28. Or kick back and enjoy shopping online with most of your favorite shops and restaurants.

"You are not one, you are a thousand.

Just light your lantern"

- Rumi

Here's to being a light for each other and in our world. Together let's celebrate this time of

Hope, Peace, Joy and Love

Greetings!

I've loved hearing from some of you about the candles you are lighting each day. I even received some pictures. THANK YOU! It warms my heart each time they come! I must say I'm burning through a fair number of candles, but I'm going to keep lighting them as the perfect reminder to keep my "lantern" of light and energy going. Join me?? I'd love to see your lit candle. E-mail pictures to me at jan@worldswindowkc.com or text them to 816-898-4907. Include your name so I can say it out loud.

We thank you for your continued shopping support. And I can't say it enough times - YOU are an important part of what makes World's Window so special! THANK YOU! Keep traveling through this wonderful season of holiday celebrations with us.

With THANKSGIVING gratitude,

And remember our online store is "open" 24 hours a day.

ALSO, SHOP EARLY this holiday season!!

We know from many of our small companies that will will not be able to re-order and re-stock many products. Due to workshops still being closed down routinely due to COVID and limited shipments coming from many countries, we may run out of many items. We encourage you to shop early.
