As I have gotten older, Thanksgiving has surpassed Christmas as my all time favorite holiday. The concept of gratitude, and being thankful, is far more important to me, than all the hustle and bustle and commercialism that seems to have taken over all the other holidays.
The concept of gratitude deserves far more than just one day.
While I’m a little late to the game on this, I would love to declare the entire month of November ConsciousParents.org Gratitude Month!
Because it is one of the foundational principles, if not THE most important principle, that is at the core of what I teach in my workshops, to my clients, and when I am invited to speak about conscious parenting.
I am going to dedicate all of this month’s efforts to gratitude.
Living it, talking about it, teaching it, sharing it.
Wanna join me?
In the past, I have invited people to participate in a “7 day gratitude challenge.” Though I don’t like the word ”challenge” so I call it a “7 day gratitude journey.”
The results of this are astounding.
But you need to try it for yourself.
So what I’m going to do here is for the rest of the month of November, I’ll be sharing ideas, exercises, thoughts, around gratitude. So I guess that makes it a 23 day, not a 7 day, gratitude journey.
As part of this exercise, I want to hear from you.
Our community needs to hear from you.
And most of all, your soul is eager for your participation in this journey.
(It knows what awaits you on the other side). J
At a time where many people are recovering from a challenging political environment which divided many, people are in need of some inspiration.
I hope that you will join us in this journey, and I can’t wait to hear what you are noticing in your life, as a result of this singular focus.
I’m grateful for the view I have right now from the library where I am working.
I am grateful for the birth of a healthy son nine years ago today!
