I have found that when my heart breaks it actually opens and grows, and I am grateful for that. More and more, I find myself saying, “I’m not afraid of loss.” Thanks for your reflection.

This line really struck me for how inclusive it is: “Presence opens us to vulnerability. The vulnerability of presence brings everything with it – messy and magical, tumultuous and tender, serious and sacred.” Thanks!

More and more, I find myself awakening to this inter-connectedness, and how sacred it is. Thanks for your comment!

I really appreciate your comment about welcoming and saying thank you to all of you, and to all your feelings! Thank you!

I feel the energy of gratitude coming alive in your comment! Thank you! Warmly, Colette

Thank you for this, Ed.

I find that being tender towards ourselves is an important part of finding gratitude in difficult moments. Sending comfort your way.

Yes, I am still practicing it, as I find that loss happens in layers. This practice has become so powerful for me.

Thank you, Shelia. I have found that the more we make “grateful seeing,” a habit, the stronger it gets.

More and more, my daily reflection is: How am I allowing the “Yes,” to keep flowing through me and my life? Gratitude creates a daily path. Blessings as life continues to flow through your open heart.

Dear Shelia,
Your love is a light that beams across the page.
Warmly,
Colette

Dear Nancy,
So grateful that my post served as a needed reminder for you today. Gratitude can shift our relationship to the call to live a life of surrender. Warmly, Colette
