I don't want to only feel gratitude when it serves me.
I want to feel gratitude in every moment.
I want to carry gratitude in my heart.

When we are feeling pain or troubled, one of the most powerful tools to help us through these challenging emotions is taking the time we need to be thankful for what we have in our lives.

There comes a times in life when you walk away from all the drama and people who create it and surround yourself with people who light your path.

There is no limit to how much gratitude your heart can hold. If you make it your intent to live in a heart filled space of appreciation for all that you have and all that life offers to you, your heart will overflow with love.

"I don't want to carry gratitude in seasons.
I want to carry it in my bones.
I want it to rest on my tongue
like it is a language
that I never stop speaking."

Our gratitude deepens when we are truly thankful for the life we have and for being alive.

Gratitude is when you have feeling of appreciation for what have. It has a value that is separate from monetary worth.

Surround yourself with people who light your path. The people who get you and care about you. Who hold your hand through the tough times.

"Gratitude can transform a common days into thanksgivings, turn routine jobs into joy, and change oridinary opportunities into blessings." ~William Arthur Ward

This week we are celebrating #gratefulFriday on Thanksgiving. I wanted to take this moment to say how grateful I am for each one of you.

Every morning I start my day with a Gratitude practice. I begin my practice by asking myself what I am grateful for?

There is great beauty in the simple pleasures in life. Those moments when something bubbles up in your heart, fills it up.

Who are the people you are grateful for? The people who are there when you stumble, helping you back up, and pushing you back in.

Spending time practicing gratitude helps us to open ourselves up to the miracles the universe wants to shower on us.

Loving yourself is the greatest revolution. We all could bring a little more self-love into your hearts.
