Emailing Nebyu’s father, welcoming his family back to the school, from Ethiopia. Making roasted vegetables for Donna? I hope so. Sitting in on Cynthia’s class, not knowing what to do, but being there, and encouraging her and them. 2 Reply Hot Sauce3 weeks agoHot SauceI can absolutely live with the knowledge that all I do has an impact on the world. Perhaps my goal should be to use as little technology as possible and to reduce, reuse, and recycle when possible, so as to reduce my pollution footprint on the earth. Also, taking appropriate precautions related to the pandemic (wearing a mask and social distancing) will help me to reduce the chance of accidentally contradicting Covid-19 and spreading it to others. 2 Reply Sunflower3 weeks agoSunflowerSure! If we turn towards the sun, blossoming follows, and you who see the flower with an open heart rejoice. 3 Reply Ose3 weeks agoOseYes, and it brings to mind to be ever so careful, caring and to meet everything with loving kindness in thought, feeling and deed. 3 Reply Ed Schulte3 weeks agoEd SchulteAs an Essene I live by the principle of knowing full well that, “As a Human Being I live on this Planet. And as a Spirit-Soul-Self, this planet, and the Universe, lives in me”. So there is no doubt that every thought, very motion is effecting, permanently, that evolving body/Universe named “I Am I”. [ and I am, a mask wear=er, social distance-er, and hand wash-er…..and volunteer -er } 7 Reply Don Jones3 weeks agoDon JonesYes. And I have volition. I choose Life and Living 100% on. I choose to plant the seeds today for tomorrows forests. 4 Reply Linda3 weeks agoLindaYes. I am dealing with a difficult coworker who tends to be very aggressive in email. Rather than trying to fight back, so to speak, today I asked her how she is doing. I am hoping to change the tenor of our relationship by “Seeking first to understand, then to be understood.” Perhaps it will positively impact both our worlds, perhaps not, but it feels better doing it. 5 Reply Antoinette3 weeks agoAntoinetteLovely Linda ! Thank you for making peace in the world ! 2 Reply devy3 weeks agodevyYes..perhaps she is going through her own personal battles which in turn affects her mood and how she thinks and communicates. 1 Reply Antoinette3 weeks agoAntoinetteNom violent communication is the key 🔑 0 Reply Maggie3 weeks agoMaggieYes. And I hope that it will a positive impact. 3 Reply DeVonna3 weeks agoDeVonnaThis is a challenge for me, I feel rather insignificant on the global stage…BUT I can do small things for the people around me that impact them for good. I will! 4 Reply Melissa3 weeks agoMelissaYES I will give it everything I have got to be aware as best I can of my impact through all connections. Even if it feels like it won’t matter in all cases at least I did my part to the best of my ability and insight. 4 Reply Amor fati3 weeks agoAmor fatiYES. YES. YES. All I DON’T do and all I think or say affects the whole. 5 Reply pkr3 weeks agopkrYes, I can. 🙏 4 Reply Michele3 weeks agoMicheleYes, buy wearing a mask you are helping others to not spread Covid – that has an impact on the world. Smile, smile at others and spread kindness. 5 Reply Maggie3 weeks agoMaggieThank you for wearing a mask. I lost my husband to COVID and the world feels kinder when I see people with masks in public. 3 Reply Michele3 weeks agoMicheleI am so sorry for the loss of your husband. I will light a candle for him and your family on this website. 0 Reply Malag3 weeks agoMalagI’m so very sorry for your loss, Maggie. My thoughts are with you now. 1 Reply Zenith3 weeks agoZenithI don’t believe that everything that I do impacts the world. There are far too many people for that. But collective action such as group meditation can have a small impact. But I can meet the day with gratitude trusting that with another opportunity to practice gratitude, I am part of the solution. 4 Reply Mica3 weeks agoMicaI agree, Zenith – I’d have to define ‘the world’ as a very small number of people connected with me somehow, to say that everything that I do impacts the world. Warm wishes to you – 0 Reply Papilio3 weeks agoPapilioDefinitely YES. The smoke from raging CA wildfires drifted to the East coast and Europe. Covid-19 has spread all over the world. The more I’m aware that our lives on Earth are interconnected, the more I’m eager to take small steps, for example to eliminate plastic from my life as much as possible or to offer small kindness to two people each day. 5 Reply 1 2 Next » My Private Gratitude Journal Write an entry in your private gratefulness journal Get Started This site is brought to you by A Network for Grateful Living, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit.
