I am Grateful for You | Week 47 | Confidence Revolution

In anticipation of mashed potatoes, pumpkin pie and football - and in anticipation of welcoming our friends and family, we are all reminded that this is the season of thanks.

I wanted to squeeze in a moment to make sure you know that I am filled with thanks for you.

You have shown me that fellowship makes us stronger.  Individually we are like single pieces of reed, strong but presented with some limitations.

But when we come together, when we are woven together, when our stories and hearts support one another, we become stronger and are able to carry more.  

Our sum is greater than our parts.

I give you thanks from the bottom of my heart for walking with me this year. Know that there is something in you that motivates me to keep reaching. It’s because of you that I have inched closer to the woman I want to be.

My prayer is that the good Lord continues to bless us all and that our spirits be open enough to recognize it.

Feliz dia de Gracias!

love and grace, catia

How Gratitude Transforms | Week 11 | Confidence Revolution

How Gratitude Transforms

Gratitude is not always easy. But learning how to practice gratitude and consistently expressing our gratitude transforms what we have into more than enough. 

Not only giving thanks but actually expressing it helps keep us in the present moment of our lives. It keeps us from living in the past and from worrying about the future. We have the power to control our thoughts and consequently our emotions.

We can be grateful for things large and small. From a fragrant flower on our evening walk to getting through traffic to our appointment on time, it all matters. And when we are aware of our surroundings, we inevitably practice being present. And being in the RIGHT NOW opens our eyes to the brightness of the world.

Most nights I walk Beau (12 and going strong!) and I pray. But the other night I was so overwhelmed with life that I couldn't really eek the words out to God. I thought he'd understand - and so I just said, "thank you." I thanked him for everything I could think of. As Master Eckhart says, "If the only prayer you say is, thank you, that will be enough."

Practice gratitude in the good days and when the tough days come along, you will have built up so much gratitude muscle memory that it will automatically take over. Even in the terrible, days when life seems like too much, there is something to be thankful for. Personal example here.
