Yes! Welcome to November! The start of my favorite time of year- the Holiday Season! Now, you may be thinking, “what do you mean? Halloween is the start of the holiday season.” And I sincerely don’t apologize when I say- it’s not. The holiday season starts on November 1. Halloween is October 31 which makes it Holiday Season Eve.
So, let me be the first to say happy Thanksgiving and Merry Christmas! I’m very happy right now. Let’s get gobbling!

A Thankful Thought
This is the time of year to be extra intentional with our Thankfulness. So each week I’ll be highlighting something about this profession I’m thankful for.
I’m thankful my friends don’t use the “people are dying to work for you joke” anymore. It never even really made since for my side of the profession, but they made it anyway. I think I ignored it enough that they quit saying it. And for that- I’m very thankful.
AI Generated Children’s Story- Turkey Starting a Funeral Home
This story was populated by an online AI copywriter. It’s quite the tale.
Once upon a time, there was a turkey named Tom. Tom loved death. He loved to attend funerals and watch the grieving families mourn their loved ones. He found it all so interesting!
One day, Tom had a brilliant idea. He would start his own funeral home! There were already a few in town, but Tom was sure he could do better. He gathered all his savings and started his business.
Soon, Tom’s funeral home became the most popular in town. Everyone wanted to use his services! However, Tom’s nemesis, a pig named Pete, was not happy about this. He started his own competing funeral home and began taking away Tom’s customers.
Tom was desperate. He tried everything he could think of to get people to use his funeral home instead of Pete’s. He offered lower prices, he put on more impressive displays, but nothing worked. Pete continued to take away his business.
Finally, Tom had an idea. He would buy out Pete’s funeral home! He gathered all his money and bought out Pete’s business. Now, Tom was the only funeral home in town.
Everyone continued to use Tom’s services and he became very rich. In fact, he became so rich that he decided to retire. He sold his funeral home and danced on Pete’s grave!
Pretty wild.
