Welcome to Grateful Living

Living gratefully helps you navigate the joys and difficulties that accompany life. This is not an exercise in avoiding the hard stuff you experience by pretending things are okay when they’re not. Instead, living gratefully is being fully present to your life so that your perspective can be expanded, your compassion enhanced, and your purpose discovered in this moment. This is what makes every day more meaningful.

Grateful living becomes your way of being through the daily, foundational practice of Stop. Look. Go. In times of possibility and uncertainty, this is a transformational approach to life that you can bring with you to every situation. Like mindfulness, gratefulness is a scientifically proven and ancient spiritual approach to embracing life in its many imperfections and possibilities.

Scientifically & spiritually proven transformation

The science says what ancient spiritual traditions have taught for millennia:

Gratitude lowers stress by enhancing your perspective and grounding you in what you value
Gratitude improves mental and physical health by decreasing loneliness and fostering deeper connections and stronger communities

A resource for grief, hopelessness, & joy

Life is challenging with loss and uncertainty, but joy is not elusive if you practice seeking it. Living gratefully strengthens your perspective for navigating your unique experience in your own way:

Being grateful helps you cherish and recognize what matters to you without silver lining difficult situations
Living gratefully helps you remain grounded when life feels overwhelming. It makes the discovery of joy, the courage to be hopeful, the openness to be transformed by awe, and the determination to work for what is good a tangible possibility

Permission to live imperfectly well

Grateful living helps you live your life without putting conditions on your joy, hope, or happiness:

Being grateful empowers you to embrace imperfection so that you can work towards what is meaningful and achievable
Living gratefully helps you live every day imperfectly well and with purpose. Today is the one day you have been given — gratefulness can help you make the most of it
