Today, we're featuring Eleanor Roosevelt, who passed away on this day, November 7, 1962.

She spent twelve years reshaping her position as a "First Lady", into a platform for action.

She traveled the country during the Depression to see conditions firsthand and visited troops overseas during WWII. After her husband, Franklin Roosevelt's death, she chaired the UN Commission on Human Rights.

She was also a lifelong advocate for women, pushing for equal pay and greater political participation long before either cause had widespread support. She was the driving force behind the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, adopted in 1948, still one of the most translated documents in the world.

Eleanor Roosevelt's funeral was held at St. James' Episcopal Church in Hyde Park, New York, where she was laid to rest beside her husband. In a rare moment for the era, the service was attended by President John F. Kennedy, alongside former Presidents Dwight D. Eisenhower and Harry Truman — a quiet testament to how far her influence reached.

Her legacy reminds us that influence doesn't require a title — just the will to keep showing up for people the world had stopped looking at.

There's a particular kind of quiet that settles over a Thanksgiving table when we've lost a loved one. The chairs might all be filled. The food might be exactly as it always was. And still there's a feeling of missing at the table.

Maybe this is your first Thanksgiving without them. Maybe it's your fifteenth. Either way, if you've ever felt that, you're not alone.

In our latest post, we've provided a few gentle ways to include someone who isn't there this year — from making their dish, to simply saying their name out loud.

Life Worth Remembering: Harry Houdini

Behind the world's greatest escape artist stood a man devoted to something far less flashy: the truth.

Today, we're featuring Harry Houdini, who passed away ONE HUNDRED YEARS AGO EXACTLY, October 31, 1926. Also on Halloween, fittingly, for a man whose life seemed to defy the ordinary rules of death itself.

He built his legend on death-defying stunts and impossible escapes, but in his later years, Houdini turned that same relentless skill toward exposing fraudulent spiritualists — protecting grieving families from being exploited by fake mediums who claimed to speak with the dead.

More than 2,000 mourners gathered in New York on November 4, 1926, to say goodbye. His body traveled from the Hamilton Funeral Home in Detroit in a bronze casket with a glass lid — a final touch of the showmanship that defined his life. He was laid to rest at Machpelah Cemetery in Queens, New York, where his grave bears the crest of the Society of American Magicians, a tribute to the art form he helped transform forever.

His legacy reminds us that even the most extraordinary lives are built on something simple: the courage to seek truth, and the will to protect the people who need it most.

There's something fitting about a holiday that asks us to sit with the spooky, the sentimental, and the silly all at once, because that's honestly a lot like life itself.

Tonight, as the porch lights go on and the little witches and superheroes make their rounds, we're thinking of all the families we've had the privilege of serving — and the memories that keep loved ones close, even the ones who aren't trick-or-treating with us anymore.

Wishing you a safe, sweet, and spirited Halloween.
