    This evening we met with three women and had a lovely evening, sharing food and sharing thoughts with each other. We came to speak about the little fairytales one of us would write, and already the name of one of her protagonists was so funny that it really brought big smiles and laughing onto our faces, stories full of fantasy and positive images without being preachy or teacherly, just funny warmhearted little stories full of beauty and humor with some hidden wisdom in it. It absolutely touched us and brought joy and kicked own fantasy and inspiration. An evening full of warmth, humor, joy and inspiration, an invitation to follow your inner voice for crossing a threshold to arriving at doing what you love, and in her case, it was writing splendid fantastic little fairytales creating and igniting so much light inside of us all. Thank you, dear friends for this flow of love in this meeting, for the input and of being moved by words of David Whyte who once met Br. David, who helped him to clear his intention to do what he loves. So grateful for this very touching essay, which has been the point we started from and which was part of the resources of the month of December for the grateful gatherings. It was a beautiful gathering just with us three, a great gift of sharing to find back to deep intention and to go for what we love. A huge thank you to all concerned, to the gratefulness team and i am deeply grateful for this joyous flow to inner sources where we arrived at sharing sparkling happiness and joy, and perspective to trust into intuition that allows being guided by this sparkling light going according to our hearts. As this keeps you healthy. Living in this light, you offer the best you may be able to, offering the best for supporting and possibly inspiring all.

    I am grateful for my beautiful, loving daughter & her husband, a really “good guy”.
    I am grateful for my spunky, joy filled Cousin & her family.
    I could go on & on with my grateful list….. I am abundantly blessed in so many ways. I am fortunate & try my hardest not to take my “riches” for granted. 🙏🏻♥️
    I am grateful to All who come here & share. I have learned so much from your sharings.

    As I sit here communing with all of you, I am grateful for shelter. The wind is whipping the flags to full out beauty.
    I am grateful I can see the different sky colors this am. It was summer blue, winter cobalt, grey and cloud covered.
    I am grateful for this community and invites to dinner later on.

    For me, this day doesn’t automatically come with gratitude. Seems I have baggage around it. But, I have been texting friends and family this morning. Doing my best to be “in the spirit”. And like most things, as I go through the motions, I am feeling more in the spirit of the holiday. Funny how that works. 🙄
    And like most days, I am grateful for all of it. I have been incredibly lucky and have much to be grateful for. So much so, that the list would go on and on.
    But as I sit here typing away, I am grateful for all of you here. I hope you all have a peaceful and fulfilling day. 🙏

    My warm, comfortable home.
    Being inside while it rains.
    Soft cat on my lap.
    Hot coffee in my cup.
    Sweetheart who makes and brings the coffee.
    Technology to visit with all of you.
    The dried fruit tray our neighbor sent us as a thank-you for the ways we help her. Delicious snacking last night!
    Good health.
    A day of enjoyable cooking ahead–prep for the family dinner we’ll have Saturday.
    A job that gives me time off at holidays.
    Family living close enough to visit.
    Pictures from one best friend who’s on a vacation in Munich right now.
    Talking with another best friend yesterday, and with one of my brothers who called out of the blue.
    Poetry.
    The greenness of the place we live in.
    Having a bakery three-quarters of a mile away.
    Family memories.
    The electronic picture frame I keep adding to that rotates through many fun and special people, places and experiences.

    And so, so much more!

    I am grateful to be in a safe place without threats. I can relax, I can make mistakes, I can be myself. I’m grateful for loved ones who passed away this year, all they gave during their lives, all they are helping us remember. Grateful for my husband and doggos. Grateful for the friends and loved ones I can’t see this Thanksgiving, but will see sometime in the future. Grateful for the restaurant owners who are staying open today, because it’s going to be a small affair, quiet, intimate, with grief and thanks. Wishing everyone a day full of warmth, love, and thanksgiving.

    I’m thankful for the sun shining thru the window on me while I sit in this rocking chair in the cabin on my husband’s cousin’s property here in Lake Lure. It’s very cold this morning, but this spot is nice. I’m grateful to be here, grateful for the potluck we’ll be going to this afternoon at some friends’ new restaurant in Chimney Rock. I’m grateful they were able to rebuild after what Hurricane Helene did. I’m grateful for my life, my husband, pur dogs, the life we’re still building together and our individual paths as well. I’m grateful for Yoga and all that it has done to help me heal and now for the opportunity to share it with others. I’m grateful for my yoga community. I’m grateful for family, friends, grace, and abundance.

    And I’m grateful for this space and all of you who participate 🙏🏼

      There is a Chimney Rock in the Southern Ute reservation. It can be seen from the two lane US Hwy 160, west of Pagosa Springs, SunnyPattie.

      Sunnypatti, I resignate with you on marriage life as Ngoc and I continue to build on our lives together and individual halves. It all points back to my Locster brand slogan I commented on Antoinette of “Be adaptable, not changeable.” That’s marriage for you right there.

        Yes, Loc. Adaptability is so important in life. Yoga teaches that as well. I like to relate it to trees… stay grounded, but sway with the winds of life 🌳

    I give thanks to the universe who gave us the method or means to actually BECOME TRUTH in this very lifetime!
    Everyone suffers in their own picture world overlapping the Truth. The Truth is within us all and now that we have a way to let go of this human mind world overlapping Truth we can become Truth.
    After what I just experienced last week I feel even more deeply for the suffering of others. I’m able to understand deeply the worst feeling of being hurt by the ones we love and trust. Being sexually assaulted/ abused is something many people go through. Many of us carry this trauma with us. I’m so grateful to have community and support around me to start to deal with this.
    I appreciate you all and your support as well.
    I’m thankful that the method and my helper is guiding me through this. It’s time for trauma bonds to be discarded. Enough is enough.

    So much. My daughters enjoying the day with friends and other families, my three siblings who I will speak with in a group call later today, the food I’ll eat later today, the sunshine, the snap in the air. So much.
