GRATITUDE...
It’s been my saving grace...
The anger bubbles up
It wants to overflow
How...
Why...
Unbelievable!!!!!!
I can’t begin to put words to the fire building inside of me
The anger wants to escape
To burn and crush those who think they can oppress and control
The anger wants to win
Though I know
The only way out is through
The only way to fight back is to not fight but to heal
To heal this brokenness in our world
And then I remember I can’t heal the world before I heal myself.
So...
I return to gratitude, to this sacred practice that transmutes the burning demon of anger inside of me to one of hope and determination.
That reminds me Love is the only answer...
LOVE
GRATITUDE
LOVE
GRATITUDE
I AM LOVE
I AM GRATEFUL

I started carrying a gratitude rock in my pocket yesterday. Every time I touch it it reminds me to focus on what I am grateful for.
It reminds me where our thoughts go energy flows.
It reminds me to be present to my presence and to spread gratitude and love around.
It reminds me how truly blessed and privileged I am.
We are all facing so much everyday, inundated with violence, hate, injustice...I could go on and on.
Focusing on Love and Gratitude has been a saving grace in my life moment by moment pulling me out of the anger, hopelessness, and dispair.
Imagine how much would change in our world if every single person focused on what there is to be grateful for. It doesn’t mean ignoring what is going on around you but instead choosing to focus on the blessings so that we can stay positive and hopeful and GET TO WORK. Because there is work to be done people and each and every one of us MUST step up and heed the call.
