WITH DEEP AND PROFOUND GRATITUDE

As we enter the week of the Thanksgiving holiday in the United States, I am taking this opportunity to thank each and every one of you for blessing my life. I am profoundly and deeply grateful for the way you touch my life and my heart.

I am blessed with work that I love to do and wonderful people to celebrate life with. This newsletter, and the opportunity to connect with so many wonderful, amazing people, has blessed me even more. This month marks the 7th anniversary of this newsletter and I am in a state of awe and incredible joy.

I want to thank you all for your wisdom, inspiration, encouragement, sharing with me, and allowing me to participate in your lives. For all of this and more, thank you.

Thank you, too, to the incredible woman who makes this all possible - my webperson, Deb Augur. We've been together on this journey since the very beginning and she adds her own special touch of love and caring that makes each edition a joy. More than that, she has become a wonderful friend, almost family, and her generosity and patience bless my days. I am truly grateful.

And as we reach this week and approach the holiday seasons ahead, I encourage you all to be grateful and to express your gratitude to those in your life. Gratitude = Great Attitude and the demonstrations you see reflected in the world around you just might amaze you.

It is sometimes easy to slip into the "poor me" syndrome if your holidays aren't turning out the way you'd hoped they would. We look around and see others, and begin to judge ourselves.

I encourage you, instead, to look at what is right, good, wonderful, and blessed in your world. If you find that difficult, ask that your mind be awakened and that your vision be restored so that you can see with the eyes of love and truth. Allow yourself to receive that gift.

As we know, an attitude of gratitude is an incredibly powerful force in our world. We know from research that it allows our very DNA to expand and open up to all of our genetic potential. More important, it creates a dynamic field of attraction for our manifesting, drawing everything good to us.

I encourage you all to feel and to express the power of gratitude. Spend 5 minutes every day in gratitude, giving thanks for everything in your life. As you move through your day, express gratitude regularly to the Universe and those around you. Go on a Gratitude walk, focusing on a new thing to be grateful for with every step. Make a list of 10 people you are grateful for then write them, call them, visit them, or email them to let them know that you appreciate them and that you are truly grateful for the difference they have made in your life.

As you focus on what you have to be grateful for, do not be surprised when you find that even more of the good things in life come pouring out to you.

Remember, YOU deserve it!!!
