Frank Yan of Sacramento on Giving Thanks







When Frank Yan was young, living in London, England, Thanksgiving was not a celebration he celebrated. As soon Frank arrived in Sacramento, California at the age of 9 years old, Frank realized that Thanksgiving is a holiday the United States celebrated.


Frank used to think the Thanksgiving holidays was boring. We all eat delicious foods, however we do not receive any presents like we would on Christmas. Now since Frank is older, he had a greater appreciation of the Thanksgiving holiday but the most important is the celebrating with the family, friends, and all the blessings in his life.

It is so very easy to feel as if nothing is going in your way, but remember it’s the trails and tribulations that will turn into something to be grateful for brand new a new lesson and a new opportunity to grow stronger and wiser.


This year in Sacramento, Thanksgiving, Frank is thankful for all the strengths and the all the flaws that come together to make Frank Yan who he is. He has grown so much but yet he still has so much growing to do, and he’s thankful who the people who have been there every step of the way.



Happy Thanksgiving Sacramento and all those around the world. Enjoy this year Thanksgiving with those you love.

Frank says it can help turn down the volume on negative emotions and thoughts by teaching us to really observe them with out any judgment and then just let them go.
