Merci Beaucoup

Here is a new piece called 'The Blackboard of Gratitude'. It will be one of many.

I grew up as I'm sure many of you have, with constant reminders of "how much we have to be grateful for!" Although I met very few that would ever deny it, sometimes when we get stuck in the story line of our tumultuous circumstances, it's hard to see the magnitude of gratitude. After writing pages on this, I felt so light, so free, so full of love and g r a t i t u d e . that I wanted to offer it forward:-)


THANK YOU FOR THE EYES THAT HELP ME NAVIGATE MY WAY. THANK YOU FOR THE EARS THAT I MAY HEAR SONG OR THE WHISPER OF A CHILD. THANK YOU FOR THE GIFTS OF THE EARTH THAT MY MOUTH MAY TASTE. THANK YOU FOR THE VOICE THAT I MAY SHOUT GRATITUDE FOR ALL THAT I AM AND ALL THAT YOU ARE IN ME. g

The Child Within


I'd like to share an interesting exercise that I created to alter my angst while being stuck in traffic on a shuttle with frustrated others:
Imagine wearing special lens glasses that see everyone around you as they were at 3 years old. Imagine their joy, simple and pure.. now look at who they became. Where are they along their journey from birth to death, and ask yourself what the road looked like to get there. It's a fantastic way to 'be' relaxed in the moment. It's a fun, light path to compassion and gratitude.
