Eden Alternative Tip of the Week: Reflections on Giving Thanks

As I celebrate my first Thanksgiving as a member of the Eden Alternative family, I realize how thankful I am for the opportunity to serve all of you in my new role. Since joining Eden Alternative in June, I have met so many wonderful people who are so passionate about serving Elders and each other by applying the Eden Alternative Principles. I want to personally thank all of you who live these Principles each day and for the positive example you share with the world.
 
It is just amazing for me to see how these ten simple Principles can have such a profound impact on so many lives when they are put into practice. It gives me pause to think about the awesome responsibility I have been given to lead the Eden Alternative and to bring our message to many more people here in the U.S. and around the globe. I am so thankful that I have been given this opportunity to work with an amazing group of people and an amazing organization as part of a powerful cause.

I hope you all will take a break over this holiday weekend to enjoy its blessings "Eden Style". Think about the ways you can give as well as receive care. Take the time to slow down and enjoy being in the moment. Celebrate the Elders who will be with you and the gifts they will share with you over Thanksgiving dinner. Enjoy the simple pleasures that Thanksgiving Day with family and friends has to offer.  I wish you and yours the very happiest "Eden Style" Thanksgiving!
 
Best regards,
Chris Perna
Eden Alternative CEO
