The Gratitude Experience

Warm Heart - Big Thanks

 

 This event has been a community effort, and I want to thank so many of the people who contributed.

I love the power of collaboration!  If there's such a thing as a "synchronicity junkie" I might be one... as I find great joy in noticing the subtle and sometimes direct ways that answers, ideas, opportunities show up.  That's how much of this *virtual* event came together.  To all the people who synchronistically appeared and brought their generosity to all of us, I say, "Thank you."

Building Community by Giving Thanks

The idea for The Gratitude Experience emerged in my consciousness just a few weeks ago -- and expanded as I  reached out to my extended community.  I followed inspiration as I invited people - some I barely or do not actually yet know - to join me.  Catherine and I met on Twitter a few months ago.  She is one of the beautiful spirits I was inspired to invite... and WOW! I'm so very happy that I did.  Look at what a community event this generous, gracious, French-accented woman did to share with us.

I have love-tingles all over as I watch this video & allow myself to feel the extraordinary expressions of gratitude shared by the many people who's personal statements she reads for us.

We truly are creating a ripple of never-ending Gratitude across and around the planet.

Thank you, my dear friend!

To create more community, I decided to organize a special Project.  I asked my friends on Twitter & Facebook to email me 1 sentence in 129 characters maximum that could begin by: I give thanks for... and to send a picture.

Then, I mixed the sentences and the pictures, and I read the text, with my French accent, so that now we are really One, sharing the same gratitude. And spreading love and joy in respect... 

I am very grateful for all of you who participated and I hope you will enjoy the final concept and share the result!

I also recommend you to go visit Tambra and The Gratitude Experience:  http://theartofwellbeing.typepad.com/gratitudeexperience/ where she gathered experiences and thoughts on the same subject. Joy of Love and Life radio at 1pm Pacific time on Wed. 11/25. 

I wish you a glorious Thanks Giving, every day.

Be Good and Don't behave,
Namaste...  Catherine

Photography

Thank you, Thank you, Arlene Taveroff of Wisdom a la Carte (http://wisdomalacarte.net) 

Arlene's generously offered her photographs for The Gratitude Experience. Aren't they beautiful!?

You can also enjoy all of these beautiful images with the people in your life.  Wisdom a la Carte features a collection of eCards.  These cards are available for no cost to you (unless you choose their premier service - which you may want to do!)

These ecards are truly different! You can combine quotes of wisdom and Arlene Taveroff’s inspirational photos, then add your own personal message to create ecards that really connect and inspire!  I've been sending them to people in my life and business for months now. It's a lovely way to send some beauty along with your "thank you" or "great talking to you" or "congratulations" messages.

Here’s a sample of what a finished card looks like. Click on the picture to take you to Wisdom a la Carte’s ecard page.
