Sometimes in life we are confronted and overwhelmed by circumstances that are so tragic that they literally bring us to our knees as we weep. It is during these times when I find myself questioning everything, demanding answers that simply don’t exist.
To be at peace in a world that just isn’t, I am now counting all of my blessings and expressing my deepest gratitude for all that I am, all that I have, and all that I love.
When you practice being grateful and counting your blessings, your life will change. I am grateful every single day, even on the bad ones.

When the news is full of horror and rageful words, still there is cause for gratitude that one’s heart is open and alive to feel the pain of that and the willingness and capacity for compassion is not lost.

Now that thanksgiving is around corner, I’ve been thinking a lot about gratitude. I wish I could remember this every day, not only for special occasions. I’m so grateful to have you in my life Nicole, I think we both broke that “enemy” barrier so quickly, with you I learned about forgiveness and to empower women instead of fighting against them. I love you.
