concluding Month of Gratitude..

by 3 February 15, 2012

the Month of Gratitude exercise is over, and

acts of love WERE born..

There were many entries, thank you all.

The random act of kindness that touched me the most
is by a woman I met who lives in a wheelchair from a car crash.

She shared of a family member who was suffering greatly
for the loss of her husband. Jennifer put together a package of
how she transforms her own suffering. Along with suggestions
of journaling, she included a sketchbook and
made her a mixed CD with comforting and fun
songs to dance to.

No matter what our situation is in life, when we reach out to help

others, the effect can be the most powerful healing to our own life.

Let's change our attitude about all we've been through
to one of gratitude, and we''ll change our life.

Jennifer W of Toronto, thank you for sharing.
I hope the gift of this silver heart rock always
reminds you of your beautiful heart.

in gratitude,

G

This week I was thinking about how challenging it can be to be who we are and live in our place of heart when there are so many directives and expectations that we should behave in a particular way. How we present ourselves to the world and how we think are so influenced by our upbringing, peers and culture...

Mindful Necessities West to East

by Gisele Theriault April 21, 2019

Rumi says "Let the beauty of what we love be what we do." I'm counting my blessings, both having carved a life by creating contemplative jewellery and now also enjoying the opportunity to create experience for people though retreats.

It took a long time for my body and mind to readjust from east to west, as it always does. Between the 10 hour time difference and the culture extremes, the practice of coupling patience and tenacity definitely came in handy.
