Service & Deep Gratitude

November has always been such a powerful month. As we near the end of the year, planning year-end events, and for many of us, preparing for Thanksgiving, we must pause and remember those who need us the most.

My unwavering commitment to service runs deep into every aspect of my life. It manifests in my insights into intentional hospitality, my dedication to community betterment, and my passion for empowering others to reach their full potential. This commitment is actively demonstrated through my service as a Board Member with The Miami Shores Friendly Villagers and The Greater Miami Shores Chamber of Commerce, and as an active committee member for the Women of the Vine & Spirits Foundation.

“Life’s most persistent and urgent question is: What are you doing for others?” - Martin Luther King, Jr.

For me, service and giving back are not obligations—they are the most authentic expression of connection and the foundation upon which meaningful, lasting impact is built.

I want to express my deep gratitude for this very intentional year, and for the opportunities that have stretched me to grow, personally and professionally. For me, Thanksgiving has always been a day of sharing, especially with family and those who have become family. This journey has been defined less by milestones and more by the extraordinary people who surround and support me.

So as we come together for the holidays, may we always remember that people are struggling through times we may know nothing about. Be kind and compassionate, but most importantly, be grateful!

With gratitude,

Deb
