Dear Friends,
As we greet the holidays and usher in a new year, what are the gifts you value most? In all honesty, this has been a difficult year for me - a desert experience of sorts - as I've faced one disappointment after another. Perhaps it has been one for you too. I've battled discouragement, depression and despair and fought to be free of their life-strangling hold. Perhaps you have too. One day at a time I've been given the choice to trust and believe God...or to give into to doubt and fear. Choice is a gift we are presented with each day.
In the midst of difficult and challenging circumstances, gratitude has shifted not only my perspective, but my priorities. God has gently been stripping away my self-sufficiency and the fear that I am not enough, that I won't have enough. This has been far from a comfortable or easy process.
The pearl in the oyster of these difficulties is one of deeper trust and recognizing with poignant clarity that the greatest gifs in life are not those that can be purchased or wrapped. What gifts are you most grateful for? Where have you found treasure in unexpected places, turning something unwanted or irritating into something valuable? How will you allow that to shift your perspective?
Journal Prompts for Gratitude and Self-Care is a special gift I created just for you. An invitation to center your mind and body and a practice to inspire gratitude. By incorporating some simple practices you can remain grateful, grounded in the present and nurture yourself in the midst of all the holiday activity. Click link for PDF
