  • His Words Stopped Me in My Tracks

    His Words Stopped Me in My Tracks

      All We Take for Granted   I overslept this morning. I still have not adapted to the time change and my mornings have been challenging. I woke up at 8:30am. Jumped in the shower. Quickly threw on clothes. Got into my car and raced across town arriving with a minute to spare to my…

    Love is …

      The Love Hangover It is the day after Valentine’s Day. What do we do the day after we focus on love? What do we focus on now besides half-priced chocolate? Love, of course, just like we do every single day of our lives. Just like there are myriad things to be grateful for, there…

    Hello. Thank You. You Are Beautiful.

      A Way of Being For a while now I have been intrigued by this concept of Ways of Being. It is the idea of having a consciousness that is aligned with an intention but not being caught up in the actions or strategies that might get you there. For instance you could be of…

    Confuse Your Family with Being Grateful for the Dismissed

      Show Everyone That It’s Not Just the Big Five Whenever I ask people, “What are you grateful for?” without any other direction almost everyone says the same thing. I call these the big five: Being alive, Family, Health, Friends, God. It reminds me of going around the table at Thanksgiving sharing our gratitude and…

    Turning It Downside Up

    Will This Make You Laugh? You Know You Want To.

    I need a break from the seriousness. The website went down again. So much stress getting it back up. In the midst of it all I asked myself, “Where’s your gratitude?”. I came up with the usual suspects like being grateful for the opportunity to bring like-minded people together online. Then I stopped myself. Is…

    What Are You Waiting For?

    Your Written Invitation Sometimes things just aren’t going our way. Whether tremendous loss (our quote today is from Anne Frank’s diary) or the smallest of inconveniences (like having to turn around and drive back 45 minutes in the wrong direction because I forgot something earlier) it can be hard to find gratitude.
