Gratitude Encounter Moments

My hope for you today is that gratitude free you from the grip of expectation and release you to the Grace of Anticipation.

May something amazingly extraordinary happen to you today...when you least expect it. And may you abound in gratitude when it does!

Gratitude helps you grow...it helps you expand. And gratitude doesn't travel alone -- other good things accompany the growth of gratitude. Things like joy, abundance, kindness, and compassion.

What are YOU noticing different about you as you grow gratitude in your life? Or, are others noticing something different about you.

Yesterday, we talked about the Rhythm(s) of Gratitude...that got me thinking about another 'R' word...one that I love.

RIPPLES..

Where and how is gratitude rippling in your life? It's amazing to see how it's rippling far and wide from this app...and we're still in beta.

Here's a ripple from Greece that happened just yesterday.

Welcome to GEM 7...as we start our second week of beta testing.

Have you found YOUR rhythm of gratitude? You know, the flow of gratitude that fits into your life and the rhythm of your day.

"When we focus on gratitude, the tide of disappointment goes out and the tide of love rushes in."

What have you discovered...or are you discovering now about the rhythm of gratitude and your life?

Hello Gratitude Family...I like the sound of that! I'm running with it -- because that's what we ARE for each other.

This weekend, I invite you to take some time to Pause, Notice, and Express gratitude for someone IN your family or some thing about your family.

Define family in whatever way you choose.

This is our first GEM focused on SHOWING gratitude. As such, I want to invite you to express the gratitude you have for someone very close to you...YOU.

It's Day Three of our Beta Journey. Today, I share some of what we learned about YOU -- well, you OR people LIKE YOU.

That what you most want when it comes to gratitude is not just getting better at it...but LIVING IN Gratitude.

Have you realized that everything IN your life is a gift? Did that lead you to newfound gratitude?

What do you do when YOU find yourself in a hard place -- vacillating between regrets of the past and anxieties about the future.
