What MyCorporation Is Thankful For This Thanksgiving

2018 was a big year for MyCorporation, and we are thankful for so much! We turned 20-years-old and celebrated two decades of being in business and providing excellent customer service.

Our joyous moments were also coupled with challenging ones. Our office (and team) are safe from the recent Woolsey Fire in Southern California, and for that we could not be more thankful.

No blessing is too big or small to be grateful for this year. Take a look at what our team is most thankful for this Thanksgiving.

1. Home, Family, and Clients

I am most thankful for my home and family! I know so many people who have lost so much recently here in California, and it makes me aware of how much I have been blessed with. MyCorporation survived the recent fires and for that I am also so grateful! I depend on my job for my livelihood, but I also care so much about our business. Our clients help give me purpose. My fabulous coworkers offer me support and make me laugh every day! — Becky Sherwin

2. Family

I’m thankful for my happy and healthy family. — Carri Brown

3. Team MyCorp, Technology, Community, Family, and My Pup

I am thankful for the love and support of the MyCorp team! Knowing that my family had to evacuate due to the fire, I received a slew of texts, calls, and Facebook messages asking if everyone was alright, and if any assistance was needed. The flood of support and kind words were greatly appreciated and valued during this stressful, frightening time.

I am also grateful for modern technology! After the fire, I learned just how much our day-to-day lives depend on technology. In addition to needing technology to run an office, I learned that it plays a key role during times of disaster. Many would have been in the dark about the severity of the fires without the robo calls/texts to evacuate.

I think I am mostly grateful for our community coming together to create a united front in the face of adversity. The union and kindness of neighbors, first responders, and even total strangers has shed light during a dark time.  And of course, I’m grateful for my amazing, supportive family. While they did drive me crazy when they (six of them in addition to my boyfriend and I and three dogs) stayed with me in my one bedroom apartment during the fire, I wouldn’t trade them for the world. Last, but definitely not least, I’m thankful for my four legged fur baby, Dahlia. — Chloe Nichols

4. My Great Grandmother

Every day, I’m reminded about how much love and support I have from my family, friends, and coworkers. Although I am blessed with a terrific job, loving boyfriend and family, I am most grateful to have such an amazing great grandmother.

At the young age of 92-years-old, she’s loves me wholeheartedly and doesn’t judge me. I talk to her almost every day and she shares her experiences, wisdom, and knowledge with me. She is my best friend that I can spill all my secrets to and my go-to person for all of life’s gossip and endeavors. I love her so much. I’m so grateful that I get the chance to know her in my twenties because that’s the age where I’m just starting to experience and figure out all that life has to offer. When I’m confused, she helps guide me and when I’m down she always finds a way to bring me up. I’m incredibly grateful that I get the chance to know her! — Brittany Gamble

5. Community, Family, Friends, and Home

This year, I am thankful for the safety of my community after the fires. I am grateful for my family, friends, home, and job. — Heather Taylor

6. Family, Friends, Health, and Career

I am thankful for my family, friends, my health and my career! Without all of this I wouldn’t be me! — Tracy Newman

7. Team MyCorp, Family, Friends, and My Cat

I am thankful the MyCorp team came out of the fire disaster relatively unscathed. The fact that our building is still standing and we all still have our jobs is a beautiful thing. I am also thankful for my family, friends, and my beloved cat Squirrel. — Liz Cohen

8. Family, Friends, Home, and Team MyCorp

Grateful every day for family, friends, a home, and a job. — Nancy Nash

9. Family Friends, Team MyCorp, and Freedom

I am thankful for my family, friends, my job, and my freedom and opportunities. — Meghan Record

10. Family, Health, and Love

I am thankful for my family, health, the good in people, the little things in life like laughter, and a toilet that flushes. I am also thankful for the bigger things in life such as a place to call home, the love for one another, to have a job… The list could go on and on. — Sarah Plante

11. My Home, Friends, and Team MyCorp

This year I am most thankful that my home and MyCorporation were saved from the fire!  Also, for our amazing friends that took us and our three pets in at 2:30 AM. They graciously let us stay for four nights until we could return home! — Brenda Gordon

12. Family, Friends, Boyfriend, Team MyCorp, and Happiness

What am I thankful for this year? My family, boyfriend, and friends. There’s an endless amount of reasons why, but as cliché as it is I wouldn’t be who I am today without them. Overall, they are the reason for my happiness in life. My health, which speaks for itself. My education, by simply being able to have the opportunity to learn and grow. And my job, which allows me to gain work experience. — Sasha Madrigal

13. Health, Family, Community, and Colleagues

I am thankful for good health, a wonderful family, a strong community and unsurpassed colleagues! — Deborah Sweeney

14. Safety and Family

We are all safe from the fires, and I couldn’t be more thankful.  I am glad that my family is safe from all the catastrophes that have happened in the past few weeks. I am grateful for my work family, my husband who I will be celebrating 25 years of marriage with in a few weeks, and my wonderful daughters who bring me the greatest joy. — Marla Simon

15. Family Friends, and Team MyCorp

I’m thankful for my family and friends, and the support system I know that comes along with them. I’m thankful for my job and the team we get to work with on the daily! — Alyssa Reilly

16. Every Experience

I’m thankful for the experiences (good and bad) I was able to acquire working with different groups of people and personalities over the years. — Bernard Perlas

17. Friends, Family, and Great Opportunities

I am thankful for the relationships with friends and family, basic freedoms, employment, health, a home, a religious and spiritual life, food on the table, and the opportunity to always be able to start a new day with better habits and a grateful heart. — Maryann Mogab

18. Family

My family would be the thing I am most thankful for but I am also thankful for everyone that has taught me something. — Scott Whitaker

19. Our Office

There are many things I am thankful this year, some of them being family, friends and health but the thing I am most thankful for this year is that our office was able to survive the Woolsey fire and all of the firefighters and first responders who protected the area. — Roxanne Martinez
