Birthday blessings, soul friend. Thank you for your radiant love that touches and unites us in the web of gratefulness. I appreciated the call to simple and profound actions that can flow out from our grateful hearts.

I love this teaching you leave me with, “Slowly, I’ve relaxed into the wide embrace of gratefulness.” Many blessings and thank you!

Thank you for this. I’ve forwarded it to many people who have replied, Thanks, I need this!

Dear Kristi, thank you for this post, and your words of wisdom. I was particularly struck by your invitation to change the words “i have to,” to “I get to.” I feel that deepening gratitude in my life is a shift to seeing all as gift.

Thank you! Brought tears of joy watching this. So beautifully human. What we need. I’m sharing the link.

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!

Heidi, It always strikes me how powerful true listening is–it is truly a gift of love we can give to ourselves and others. Thanks for highlighting that practice. Thanks! Colette

Thank you, Veronica, for highlighting the value of the question I am inviting us to ask ourselves: How can I bring love forward and be a part of the healing process? Peace, my friend!

The reading was definitely mutual, a circle of giving and receiving, which is what the flow of love is. Thanks, Liz!

Thank you!

Dave, thank you for bringing in the “essential component of trust” into this conversation.

I will join you in the practice, “to find one way each day to be kind to myself and someone else.” Thank you, Mary!

Mary Ann, thank you for your words, “the most important ingredient I can bring to my clients is presence in the form of unconditional love.” I hear it as an intention and a practice.

I love that you said, “offering my affirmation of what you have done to create connection creates more connection.” So true.

I really appreciate body scans and conscious relaxation. Thanks for sharing that Carol!

Dear Paul, You’ve captured the power and presence I’ve been feeling lately as I walk along the ocean near my house here in SF. Often it is windy and foggy and I let myself get lost, let go, and “see.” Thank you for this great piece and great photographs.

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.
