About Me

My photo
I love expressing heart-felt and inspired words that come unseen at times, yet powerful and profound within.
Enlightenment, in between the lines.

As you will find, I truly believe in the divine power of Gratitude. And how, by that power, it can change lives.

This journey of blogging has been an adventure!
And I'm so glad you stopped by for a quick visit : )

~ Be Grateful ~

“If the only prayer you ever say in your entire life is ‘thank you’,
it will be enough.”
- Meister Eckhart

Expressing Gratitude
fills the soul faster than anything else can. 

I know that when I am consciously aware of everything I have and give thanks for the most simple things . . . that it instantly expands my heart and soul with all the abuandance that is clearly already around me every day.  

I remember years back when I began my first Gratitude Journal, that I became so thankful for the smallest things.  My toothbrush - toothpaste - toilet paper! - the clothes on my back - food in my fridge - the comfort of a good inspiring movie, book or quote - a hug, smile, laughter - the beauty of nature - the curiosity of a child . . . endless.

Since then, I have listed something everyday that I am Grateful for.  Sometimes it's just one thing, other times it's many.  And I discovered by doing so - that JOY has become a constant companion - and - I was/am very seldom in "want" of things anymore, because . . .

I already have everything I "need" right before me every day
It's truly amazing.
 
Here's a challenge for today!!  : )

How about we give thanks for everything today.  Verbally, quietly . . . and not "ask" for anything.  Just give thanks and be Grateful for all that is before us.  No matter our circumstance - there is ALWAYS something to be Grateful for.  Sometimes, you just have to open your eye's a little bit more to see it. 

Then tonight list at least 5 things you were Grateful for that happened in your life today. 

p.s.... This says it better than I ever could.
