This special day is specifically set aside to draw our focus to an energy and intention that is one of the most powerful in terms of harmony, growth and awareness.

Giving Thanks: Gratitude

As an energy, I can honestly say that this has been the most powerful in my growth not just as an energy worker & intuitive, but as a person. The therapeutic benefits of changing your lens to one of gratitude seems to create a rainbow cascade of perception. In terms of personal nourishment, I would consider it in the ‘essential’ category.

Compost (L) versus No Compost (R)

I’m reminded of my garden because I love to compost. When I was establishing my garden in our new home, I moved my compost pile to an empty bed at the front of my house and the flowers in that bed were about 5X bigger than the flowers anywhere else in my yard.

You can see that something similar happened this year with the development of my back yard. The flowers on the right were missed and the flowers on the left benefited from my kitchen scraps. ————>

It speaks to me of positive feedback loops and how, even through recycling of ‘waste,’ we are in humble relationship with everything around us. To hold gratitude for that symbiotic relationship is foundational for survival, and so much more than a holiday.

Enough email were received in reply to the quick note I sent out about my Thanksgiving that I needed to post an update. In my email, I mentioned my mother-in-law’s dessert and so loose versions of her recipes are below:

Apple Pie:

She used a pre-bought crust, Mac apples, cinnamon, no sugar and her ‘secret ingredient’ is tapioca instead of flour to thicken it up. She probably baked it for about an hour at 400 degrees F. (I can milk her for more if these details are too sketchy. Let me know.)

Lemon Loaf:

Mix in the order given and bake at 350 for 1 hour. Drizzle a mixture of the juice of the lemon & 1/4 cup sugar over it while it’s still warm. Another ‘secret’ substitution is getting rid of the cow milk for something not containing lactose for digestive reasons.

Enjoy!

Barbara and I discussed Gratitude from the physical feelings, the emotional feelings and the mental thought processes. We related this to the impact on your personal electro-magnetic field and the dynamic of attraction.

Gratitude and…

• Consumerism
• Responsibility
• Personal perspectives
• Self assessment

What does deep Gratitude feel like?

Well, I went into a spontaneous short meditative exercise that can be used again and again for the development of that sense.

What happens with deep Gratitude?

We both shared that some our deepest intuitive leaps forward came hand-in-hand with a gratitude experience… but if that is not your path, it can be experienced through music, athletics, science, relationships…

Why?

Because it is a foundational component to soul growth.

Conclusions

** The potential result of each person being fully present in gratitude is World Peace.

If you can’t fathom that, just make a project of expressing Gratitude within your Community ~ that is the homework for this month!
