2/For those celebrating Thanksgiving - please stay safe and healthy.
It is a time to express gratitude for what we have and the time that we have together.

3/ But #COVID19 has changed Thanksgiving this year...

https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="✍️" title="Schreibende Hand" aria-label="Emoji: Schreibende Hand"> For others, it will be a smaller gathering and probably less food https://www.wsj.com/articles/thanksgiving-in-a-pandemic-means-smaller-birds-fewer-leftovers-11605349801">https://www.wsj.com/articles/...
4/ Whatever your dessert preferences - from pumpkin pie to brandy to pecan pie - don& #39;t forget to try the amazing chocolate chip cookies courtesy of @BleeckerCharlie and her amazing recipe

5/ Or, if none of these are a Thanksgiving option, there is always "Thanksgiving in a can" that @_TomGReid so helpfully pointed out during #nostalgiachat https://twitter.com/_TomGReid/status/1330674008333955080">https://twitter.com/_TomGReid...
6/ But while you ponder Thanksgiving food options and smaller gatherings, take the time to "perfect your introduction" per @julia_saxena https://twitter.com/julia_saxena/status/1329802141976899586">https://twitter.com/julia_sax...
7/The perfect intro comes down to 3 key elements:
https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🏆" title="Trophäe" aria-label="Emoji: Trophäe"> I help people [verb] their [noun].
https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🏆" title="Trophäe" aria-label="Emoji: Trophäe"> Now, make it more specific. Who exactly do you help?
https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🏆" title="Trophäe" aria-label="Emoji: Trophäe"> Substitute “help” with a stronger verb.
8/But let& #39;s not forget "play" - remember Cyndi Lauper & "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun"? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PIb6AZdTr-A">https://www.youtube.com/watch...
9/ Well, kids just want to play.
As @TPorter2 pointed out during #NostalgiaChat, graduating to the adult table is not as great as it seems https://twitter.com/TPorter2/status/1330669429932388357">https://twitter.com/TPorter2/...

10/ Because as @reddy2go points out adults hide behind who the world wants them to be as opposed to who they just are
Maybe they should be sent to the kids table... https://twitter.com/reddy2go/status/1330701354621255683">https://twitter.com/reddy2go/...

11/ So as you share your perfect intro, learn how to play again, and keep eating to keep up your energy, remember to define yourself.
And if you need help with the stories that define, propel, and hold you back, then check out @thirtytenzero - https://store.thirtytenzero.com/a/xb5dd ">https://store.thirtytenzero.com/a/xb5dd&q...

12/And remember to "call people in" as opposed to "calling people out."
Focus on "conversation, compassion, and context" https://www.nytimes.com/2020/11/19/style/loretta-ross-smith-college-cancel-culture.html">https://www.nytimes.com/2020/11/1...

13/As @NishaMAnand discusses in her @TEDTalks - calling people in is really about love.
And Thanksgiving is about gratitude and love.
Even as you sometimes get annoyed. https://twitter.com/jennykim/status/1330873817066065920">https://twitter.com/jennykim/...
