Because….Prosperity Is Multidimensional…
As we celebrate Thanksgiving today in parts of the world, I would like to share a few of the traditions that the Mulac family embraces
during this day of gratitude and I invite you to leave a comment and share some traditions and gratitude of your own.
Keep reading to discover what our own traditions entail and make sure you grab the special free gift I have waiting for you at the end of this post - another of my own traditions that is my small token of appreciation from us to you!
You are part of our online family and as you read this, know that no matter how near or far, we count you today as one of our blessings. To have been able to be a part of your life this past year embodies the passion we have in helping others achieve the lifestyle of their dreams and our gratitude and heartfelt wishes go out to you and those your hold dear.
As many know, the Mulac Family Marketers have been mobile for most of this year, traveling the U.S. via Motorhome, so the prospect of a Traditional Thanksgiving posed some new challenges. But the tradition alone that my dear mother instilled is taking the old and merging it with the new, and that’s been exactly the theme this year.
While my mother is no longer with us, the traditions that I knew as a child are alive and well and I am honored to pass them to our own daughters in hopes that they will reach adulthood with the same joy and warm memories I feel today as the festivities get underway…
While we had some generous invitations from dear friends to spend today around their holiday tables, the Greg, Marina, Morgan and I decided that we wanted our memory of the “First” Thanksgiving in the Motorhome to be one filled with all the traditional fixings - no matter how hard we had to shove to get all 16 pounds of Mr. Turkey to fit in the motorhome oven!
So as I write this, the stuffing is being prepared, the bird is ready to be stuffed and the Thanksgiving Day parade is playing on the TV, with the girls excitedly looking forward to Santa’s arrival at the end of the parade. At face value - nothing would seem to be different… with the only exception being that our “space” is a 37 foot motorhome.
Yes, lots of people thought I was a little “off” when I proposed to do all the traditional fixings in the motorhome, but it’s not about the space, it’s all about the place. And our “place” is the love and gratitude that we have, no matter where we are…
Sure, I’ve prepared many a Thankgiving meal in sprawling kitchens, state-of-the-art appliances and all of the comforts that one could hope for. But this year, Thanksgiving is shaping up to be one of the most cozy and special holidays we can ever remember.
So can I cook a full holiday extravaganza in the motorhome? You bet!
I’ve employed a little creativity and pulled out all the stops between the oven, microwave, crock pot, electric skillet, toaster oven and more… it might be the smallest kitchen I’ve ever managed, but it the largest excitement the girls have ever had and it will be a memory that they will never forget - the “First Thanksgiving” had nothing on the Mulacs!
And as I have told the girls, while we feel that we may be “roughing it” - there are people throughout the world who are no where near as advantaged as we are today - and THAT is the real meaning that we must never lose sight of!
To round out our attitude of gratitude, please accept this gift from us and use it to prosper. It is always a challenge to find a gift that is universal and will help the widest assortment of people - but I think you’ll agree this is something we can all use - no matter what level of experience you have. So with my most sincere wishes for a Happy Thanksgiving to one and all, CLICK HERE (or Right Click and select “Save As” to save to your desktop!) for your free download and use it to prosper for years to come!
Be sure and join me in sharing your traditions too, by leaving a comment below!
I must run now and join the girls in singing “There’s No Place Like Home For The Holidays…” yes, another tradition that takes on new meaning this year…
With Gratitude,
Stephanie, Greg, Marina & Morgan

Always good to see a picture of one of my favorite young ladies.
Just finished dinner here and checking things quick before I sit and watch the football games. Family tradition (at least that is my excuse and I am sticking to it.)
Enjoy your day and call if you ever get back east again.

Hello to the Mulac Faimly from Southern Spain!
I’m not American although my parents and brother live in Indiana so I’ll have to wait until 25th December to eat my turkey! Hope you guys continue to have a great day.
Your Thanksgiving posting really resonated with me and I just wanted to thank you for reminding me that home isn’t about material stuff - it’s where the heart is.
Having lost everything back in May, I’m now beginning to rebuild my life and d’you know what? I’d never go back to the crazy existance I had before when I didn’t have time for all the things and the people I truly love.
I’m SO thankful that I came across your marketing. You deserve every success that is coming to you.
Warmest regards,
MARION

Hi to the Mulac Family:
This is from Larry & Anita to wish you a happy Thanksgiving day. Being in Canada, we celebrated last month!
Our tradition is to give thanks for everything, to everyone, in our lives. We say a prayer and have a 2 minute silence to think about what and why we do this.
We donate to 4 or 5 charities (Salvation Army, Mission Gospel, and a few other soup kitchens) to hopefully help them feed or help other less fortunate people.
Have a great day! God Bless.

Hi Greg, Steph and girls. Glad to see you are having such fun. We actually forgot about it. We don’t have any holiday here today and never have a Thanksgiving day here in South Africa, so have no idea what it means to you, but we reckon we should also take time to reflect on our blessings. Enjoy!

I am grateful for giving honor to me asking me to be part of your Thanksgiving Day.I feel like seating with you around the table/or whatever it looks/and maybe one day i taste your Turkey/here,usually we have a pig on the table but sometimes it would be changed by a turkey/I believe to be able of understanding *meaning* of tradition you have spoke.
To celebrate in the circle of own family,your beloved ones,blessing your childrens i am sure they will never forget, as i keep memory of *Holiday pictures* from my childhood that God gifted us to be the happiest age in entire life.Love they have been granted by parents is most precious.
As part of your tradition passed on you by grandmother looks like a self-denial by thinking of the others somewhere all around the world who deprived of such riches.
Stephanie, you wrote a lovely *Song* i only hope it to reach the more people.
Happy Thanksgiving to Stephanie,Greg,Marina and Morgan .
With tears in my eyes,
greetings from

Hello Mulac’s great to see the Turkey fit! Great tradition to start. I am grateful for family and friends near and far. We usually travel to see family in Virginia. But this year we are spending it with new friends in California and looking forward to some turkey, football and for the first time tonight we will be sharing the friends tradition of going bowling.
Cynthia will bring a little tradition to the dinner with her Mother’s famous zuchinni casserole. And we will be wishing we were there sharing that spacious 37 foot traveling palace.
Take care and round off the day with Kumbayi or at least We are the World!

All the time I was growing up, we always had a big spread on the table. It carried over to when my kids were growing up. Now, my kids are grown and there are only 3 of us at home now including myself, my husband, and my elderly mother. Old habits are hard to break, however. Even though it is only the 3 of us now, we still have a big spread and eat leftovers for days. My kids and their kids are all in Pennsylvania. We live in Oklahoma. Unfortunately, they are not home for the holidays. I am still very thankful we have the food and I wish my kids and grandkids were here to celebrate with us but we talk on the phone and I am thankful for that. I hope you and your family have a very happy Thanksgiving, we are as well.

Hi Stephanie and Family,
Thanks so much for the good wishes and the gift. My family and I hope you and your family have the happiest and healthiest Thanksgiving ever. My wife and I raised four boys and four girls. They are all grown and married with their own families now. Every Thanksgiving, Christmas, and several other Holidays they all show up at our house and spend the day. I have seventeen grandkids, so that makes for quiet a crowd.We just have a great time eating, playing games, talking about the good old days and watch parades on TV.Before we start our festivities we take time to thank our Lord for the privilage to live in a country where we can take time out to be grateful. We are thankful for what we have and we ask God to help those less fortunate. We are blessed.

We just finished up with our Thanksgiving meal. Our holiday tradition is to cook the turkey in an oiled brown paper bag - it keeps the turkey very moist. We make homemade cranberries; stuffing; sweet potatoes, and fresh baked bread - all from scratch.
This year my dad; sisters; kids and grandkids were all here to celebrate and I am thankful that we could be together and that while we may be facing challenging times in the financial world, we are all healthy and together today.
Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

Hi Folks!
Happy Thanksgiving!
I live in Nova Scotia, Canada, and as other Canadians have mentioned in their comments, we had our Thanksgiving last month.
If you’re on the road next year, why not visit Nova Scotia! It’s a great place to visit and the kids would love it! Contact me through my website, if you ever visit Canada’s Ocean Playground!
All the best,
Laurie

Hi Stephanie Greg Marina & Morgan,Well i hope you all had a great day it sounded full of fun and good cheer.I am English so we don’t celabrate Thanksgiving but we really go to town for our own Christmas.My hubby and i live in the Dominican Republic for the past 10 year,the thing is Dominicans celabrate Christmas on the 24th of Dec were they sit down and eat there meal at around 8 at night,mind alot of drinking is done in between.[They are very good at that all year round]It comes to our celibration on the 25th.We cook the turkey on a slow heat over night and you get up and it really smells wonderfull.My hubby gets all the meal ready has done this in all the time i have known him [24 years].He really does look after me well.
He dishes up the meal of roat turkey, stuffing, roast potatoes, sprouts, cabage, carrets,but no gravy as this is put in a flask red hot for later.The meal is then covered with tin foil to keep hot and put in an ice box.I ommitted to say our van has been packed with a table chairs table cloth wine glasses cutlry napkins,wine, all we need for our Christmas dinner.
We then take a short drive to a very quite beach and set up and eat our Xamas meal with the sun shinning and the gental laping of the sea.It is the most romantic meal going.We even go for a swim in between eating.
This to us is what we dreamed of for many years before it became reality.Living in Paradise made it possible and i can’t wait for the 25th.
Love From
Fran Bernard Dilloway
