Gratitude Experiment: Day 5

Posted on by

Woo hoo!  I’m so grateful for all of you who have joined this experiment in gratitude and have chosen to take the time to post your gratitudes!  Please let me know as we go along how it’s going.  Have you noticed a shift in your energy? Have you noticed that…just by focusing on and rejoicing about what’s terrific in your life…you are attracting more good?

I just read this morning in Wallace Wattles book,  The Science of Getting Rich, “Our gratitude liberates an energy within us that immediately expands into the formless substance, where it is instantly returned to us in kind.”

Today I am grateful for the customer service person who answered my call on the second ring and cheerfully helped me solve my tech problem in under 5 minutes!

I am grateful for being invited as a guest on a radio show today to talk about nurturing new moms.

I am grateful for making it home safely in a rainstorm.  “I am divinely protected at all times.”

Gratitude Experiment: Day 4

I am so grateful for all the loving, supportive friends at my spiritual community, Unity of Chapel Hill! What a blessing to so loved by others, and to love them and support them. Love is most assuredly, the greatest gift of all.

I am also grateful for what does not happen. Do you ever think about how close you, or your loved-ones come on occasion to getting hurt, or getting into an accident, or losing something, or not  making it somewhere on time, but miraculously…what could happen, doesn’t.  I’m grateful for all those times!

Gratitude Experiment Day 2

The interesting thing about committing to posting at least one gratitude a day is that it’s making me look for things to be grateful for…knowing I will be posting something that evening. I’m on the lookout for good things to be grateful for.

So today, I am grateful for hands-on, interactive science museums for kids. Really…hours of fun and they’re learning something just by playing. It’s fabulous. I hope every city has one.

I’m also grateful for the color of cardinals. What an amazing red!

Thank you!

The Gratitude Experiment

Posted on by

Starting today…Thanksgiving Day, 2009, I am embarking on something I’m calling the Gratitude Experiment.

From today forward…and for the next 365 Days I’m am posting at least one thing for which I am grateful. It could be just one thing, or a list of things that day. The point is to focus on what is wonderful in my life and in this world.

More importantly, I want to invite everyone to post in the “comments section” at least one thing for which they are grateful that year.

Here’s the experiment part of this…I want to prove that gratitude transforms peoples lives…and ultimately, transforms the world.

The more people who do this, the more energy builds…the kind of transformational energy that transforms the world. We are transforming the world one gratitude at a time.

We want to participate in intentional gratitude, or rather “proactive gratitude.” It is active appreciation of everything around us, everything in our lives that is good, and even those things which don’t feel so good right now because every challenge in our lives has a gift hidden in it. Our part is to look for that gift and call it forth.

Intentional gratitude is an energy that multiplies our blessings and attracts more good into our lives. This fact has been proven over and over again in so many people’s lives. So let’s harness this power of gratitude by taking a few moments everyday to write down what we are grateful for. The act of writing it down and posting it for the world to see activates the law of attraction and multiplies our good quickly.

Make a commitment now, to post at least one gratitude a day here on this blog and watch your life transform.
