Seven years ago, my family started knocking on doors with turkeys. We haven’t stopped. 🧡🦃

Each Thanksgiving, we deliver turkeys to neighbors here in Framingham. I treasure doing this together: the shopping, the deliveries, and the people we meet along the way.

For our 7th Annual Turkey Giveaway, we’re sharing 20 turkeys with local families who could use a helping hand.

If you or someone you know in Framingham MA needs a turkey, please DM me or email mcynthiamaclean@gmail.com by November 20, 2026. We’ll deliver it to your home.

Please share this with someone it could help. From our family to yours, with love. 🧡

Hubby was 19 in a Marine uniform. He never stopped serving. 🇺🇸

Today I honor all of our Veterans, with special gratitude to my husband, a Marine and Vietnam Veteran. After returning home, he served as a police officer and later became an attorney. A true serviceman in every sense. ❤️🤍💙

Reach out to a Veteran today and thank them for their service.

Nine residents applied. Tonight, we met the final five. 📚

Two seats on our Board of Library Trustees, and every conversation reminded me how much this community cares about its library.

Thank you to each candidate for your time, your ideas, and your willingness to serve. The decision ahead won’t be easy, and that’s a beautiful problem to have.

🔥 Hot topic: Same faith. Different politics. Why?

Here in America Black women who are religious lean Democratic, while many white women who are religious lean Republican. Both speak about faith, family, and values.

Before this election, a Pew Research survey found that 74% of Black Protestants planned to vote Democrat, while 73% of white evangelicals planned to vote Republican.

So what shapes the difference? Our churches? Our history? Our lived experiences? Which issues we believe our faith calls us to prioritize?

Ladies, this conversation is for women only. Gentlemen, thank you for respecting the space. 💛

I'd like to hear your perspective. Please keep it respectful. 🙏🏾

“When someone shows you who they are, believe them the first time.” — Maya Angelou

Ladies, that applies at the ballot box too. Read the record, not the campaign ad. Look at how they voted on the issues that shape our lives, our health, and our daughters’ futures.

Election Day is over. Paying attention isn’t. Keep reading the record. Keep asking questions. Keep holding the people we elect accountable.

Thank you to everyone who voted yesterday. 🗳️

Nine residents applied for two seats on our library board. Last night, we met the first four. 📚

I arrived a little early to settle in, which gave me a few quiet minutes with the library’s grand old dictionary.

I enjoyed hearing what brought each of them to the table: the books they love, their connection to Framingham, and what they hope to contribute to our library.

Thank you to everyone who put their name forward. Public service asks for your time and commitment, and I appreciate our neighbors being willing to give both.

Three Michael Jacksons showed up for Halloween, and not one of us would admit we're the copy. 😂🎃

I'm young Michael, Hubby is Smooth Criminal, and Ziv is Thriller. Three different eras, one very competitive family.

Tomorrow morning, you'll see how we settled it. Let's just say there was some dancing involved! 🕺🏾

Who do you think is the real one? 👇

Happy Halloween from the MacLeans! 🖤
