The ABCs of Gratitude
Huge shout out to Vidya Sury, Collecting Smiles, for introducing me to this way of thinking through my gratitude.
A for the apples I eat that have loads of health benefits; abundance of love that circles my heart, mind, and soul; arachnophobia (because without the fear, I wouldn’t know acceptance and trust); for Wire Editor Newman for checking in on me
B for the beauty that I finally see within myself; for butterflies that remind me that my journey in life includes slowly letting go of trauma so that I can see the butterfly within me; for bees because we desperately need them even though I’m allergic to their sting.
C for the chaos within me that turns to peace; for community; for Chris Blackman, my husband, who has been by my side for 18 years
D for the delight I have every day when I make my 2.5-mile walk; my naturopath doctor who guides me in my health; for Deb Fiore, whose guidance and encouraging disposition have helped me walk in my truth
