ThE SUpERpOwER OF GRATITUDE

DECEMBER  NEWSLETTER

​As this year winds to a close, with its amazing manifestations and also some disappointments or loss which are a natural part of life, I give thanks for all the people in my life who inspire me, and are awake and aware. So many of us are dedicated to making a positive difference in this world, and knowing I am not alone feels so gratifying. In November, I received a clear message from Spirit, which said “Keep
on keeping on” and talked about the importance of being a loving light-filled person in this world, envisioning more peace, more plenty, more love for all. Just because most human civilizations have been warlike and power-seeking in the past, does not mean it always has to be this way. As the Peace Song we sing at the closing of services at the Center for Spiritual Living says: “Let there be peace on earth, and let it beginwith me.” I believe I (and all of us) signed up before birth to be here at this particular time, and sometimes I wish I hadn’t. Then I summon up my bravery and courage and I do
keep on keeping on. This yer for me has been about more healing. I now belong to a 12-step program, and this was a missing link in my spiritual life. I am ultra-grateful for all I have learned and brought into my body, heart and mind. Like so many spiritual paths, I know it is God-inspired in every way.
VERY GRATEFUL.

​Forever Thankful!​
Sometimes I feel like a broken record, repeating grateful, positive ideas and messages over and over and over.

Yet, as a society don’t we bang the drum time and time again on what is wrong, what is not working?
I’m speaking of a prevailing, ongoing commentary of lack, scarcity, disease, nature catastrophes, war, domination – all with the predominating feeling of FEAR.
So consider my messages a healing balm.
​
I proudly and firmly bang my dream for love, peace, harmony, plenty, well-being, joy and all- good.
It is a steady, insistent beat, and I do not apologize. Forever thankful.

​Gratitude is a very high emotional vibration. One cannot be angry or upset while feeling thankful. It helps our health, our peace of mind, and helps us be more joyful. I started a practice in 2012, and have never looked back. I went from being a whiner and complainer to standing strong in all of the good in life. Please consider purchasing a
