As we kickoff “Twenty-One Days of Thanksgiving”, I am most grateful for the supports each of you provide toward the wellbeing of those entrusted to our care. Your dedication goes above and beyond to make us #CarobellStong and I am most thankful for all of you.
Over the next twenty-one days, please join me in posting what you are most thankful for and for taking time to read the daily post from others. You may be surprised how the comments posted, may be a lifeline or an answer to prayer for someone else.
If our words create our world, imagine the shifting in the atmosphere that will take place as we share. Unity, always commands a blessing, so let’s get ready. This is our season and we have so much to be thankful for!
Mrs. Vanessa Ervin, President
As we close out our 21 days of thankfulness on this Thanksgiving Day, I would like to express how grateful I am for each of you!
As we celebrate the spirit of thanksgiving I am reminded of my father’s voice as he would say, “God will not let faithfulness go unrewarded.” Please allow me to share a special word of gratitude.
Thank you Mary Butts, for your compassionate oversight to ensure our members are covered on all shifts (sometimes with a “wing and a prayer” and for the countless hours you personally provide to make it happen. We are stronger because of you.
May you feel the deepest appreciation from my heart and know that “God will not let faithfulness go unrewarded.” #CarobellStrong
On our final day of gratitude – I am SOOOOO very thankful for each and every one of you here at Carobell!!! We cannot be what we are without each other and, much like family, sometimes we get on each others nerves. But we all have the same goal to uplift the Carobell members and it so shows in our continued commitment. I always say I won’t be around forever, but I ALWAYS want Carobell to be able to thrive whether I’m here or not.
May each of you be able to find a moment tomorrow to enjoy life.
So far, in October and November, we have hired 9 new part-time and full-time employees. I am thankful for them and for the experienced staff that will be welcoming and mentoring them.
Today I am most grateful for community as I sit here with Nancy Barbee and Clarice Andrews who have come to Carobell to volunteer to assist with a community project that was more than we could handle. Because they love Carobell and what we do they are here making a difference. Thank you Lord for these two and others who give of their time and service to support us.
We would not have been able to do this without the gifted and talented Rachel Jordan, Nathan McIntosh, Sebrina Phillips, Tiffany Woods, Cayla Weber and Richard Walker.
Blessings to you all!
On this day I am thankful for Carobell’s Board of Directors, their compassionate oversight is a beacon of light that ensures we remain in safe harbor, now and in the future. Their collective wisdom is a valued and most precious constant we can depend. on.
I am thankful for traditions. I started cooking Thanksgiving and Christmas as my parents got older. One Thanksgiving I placed my Grandmother’s hand made crochet as the tablecloth and placed a clear cover over it. My Father sat down to dinner and started to cry. He said he was holding a corner of the crochet and it felt like his Mom was here. That ‘tablecloth’ will be at every dinner I cook for family. Please enjoy your famiiles and let the small stuff slide.
Today I am grateful for Linda Crisman. She is dedicated in her pursuit of excellence for our members and staff and I thank God for her leadership!
Today I am thankful for Life! Any day above ground I am thankful for. I’m thankful for my husband, our boys, my parents, my family, friends, and co workers.
I am grateful for prayer 🙏. It’s what uplifts me when struggles ensue. I may not be able to find an answer, but I’ve left it to the One who can. It allows me to move on.
I am grateful for my extraordinary staff who go the extra mile when others are not looking because it’s the right thing to do as you take proud in the work that you do: maintenance dept, programming and frontline staff, nursing, vocational and administrative and support staff and our HR department. You make the difference and we are thankful more than words can say. May you feel the strength of the one who called you to your purpose!

As I think about this beautiful day I am reminded of this quote from Maya Angelou that says, “Let gratitude be the pillow upon which we kneel to say our nightly prayers. and let faith be the bridge you build to overcome evil.”
A DAY OF THANKSGIVING I disagree because every day 24/7 365 days a year you give our members a special life and help develop them and not only they but everyone on the Board gives thanks for your being. There is no one at Carobell that
