Listen "Episode 49: Being Present to Gratefulness"
Episode Synopsis
4/4/2022
I just launched a book last week, and it feels like I gave birth to a baby. The problem is I have been so buried in the details of editing and getting it to done, that I didn’t have the time to determine what happens to it when it actually is published. So in a flurry of activity last week, I barely had a moment to celebrate because I was deep in the mire of “ok, now what do I do with it?”
In this episode, we will pause and be present and grateful for a gift in our life. We will let go of what is next, or how we can make the gift last longer or be better and instead just bask in the wonder and awe of the gift. We will attempt to embody this grace given to us.
For the Listening section, we will be listening to the portion of a poem by my dear friend, Angela Griner.
Gratitude is the hard, heavy, way
the muscle-building, aching way-
that clears the senses
opens the wounds
for finished healing
raises up the native joy
to tame the wild beast
Giving Thanks, Angela Griner, Blessings the Waters
