A Different Gratitude Exercise to Try

During the Thanksgiving Holiday, people often focus on the most heartwarming quality of gratitude, which is what the U.S. Thanksgiving Holiday is all about.

People often make lists of things they are grateful for because it is such an uplifting thing to do.

Here is a variation, a little exercise that John-Roger, PAL&G Founder once gave.

At first I thought it was the same exercise mentioned above: simply focus on what we are grateful for. But when I read and followed this exercise, I found it had a different “twist” to it - one that was immensely more heart opening for me!

Try it and see how it works for you.

Gratitude Exercise by John-Roger, DSS

1) Make a list of the people, things and qualities in your life for which you are grateful. 

2) It might surprise you all of the abundance you have in your life.


How was that for you?

For me, instead of thinking of things I’m grateful for, when doing this little exercise, I thought of the many, many blessings I already have! Oh my goodness, how blessed I am. How grateful.


We wish you much love and blessings this Thanksgiving season. May your day be filled with even more blessings, giving, sharing and gratitude.

Give joyfully, with an attitude of gratitude for the blessings that already are.
— John-Roger, DSS

The Best Holiday Gifts Ever

“We need no wings to go in search of Him, but have only to look upon Him present within us.” ~St. Teresa of Avila

Faster than FedEx, gifts are delivered with each heartbeat. You don’t even need a saint or Santa to deliver the present. Yes, you already know you are:

·         A precious child of God

·         Adored by the Creator

·         At One with the Universe

·         All the Above

Wouldn’t it be wonderful though to know how truly, truly divine you are? Better than any Porsche or Jimmy Choo shoes!
