Today we pause to celebrate and give thanks for all the blessings we have in our lives.
While this has been one of the most challenging years for most of us, it has also brought clarity about what is important and a new found commitment to live with more meaning.
Complacency dulls our experience.
Before the wake up of this year, a lot of us were living on autopilot.
It is through challenge and adversity that our character is forged.
Without knowing what we were working through individually and collectively – this year has been the gift of a Spiritual Bootcamp.
The purpose of training is to tighten up the slack, toughen the body and polish the spirit.” – M. Ueshiba
While I am in gratitude for you everyday, I am sending a reminder to say I am very appreciative to have you as part of my community!
Brighter skies are on the horizon and the summit’s peak is in view…
Thank you for showing up to do the powerful work this year and for making this world a better place.
May we continue to move through the challenges with ease and grace knowing that everything has a purpose.
With love and gratitude,
Rebecca
P.S. Sharing a powerful Prayer
In Praise
and Gratitude
By BEVERLY LANZETTA
Holy Earth, Holy Cosmos,
I bow before you
With my whole being.
Holy Creatures, Holy Nature,
I kneel upon the earth
In honor and thanksgiving
Of your blessed bounty.
Holy Waters,
Holy Mountains,
I lay my body on your temple
In gratefulness for nurturing
My tender soul.
Holy Passion, Holy Longing,
I rise up before you
A devotee of truth,
Following wherever you lead me.
Holy Silence, Holy Solitude,
I place my hands over my heart
Breathing in serenity,
Breathing out your peace.
Holy Sorrow, Holy Suffering,
I close my hands in prayer
May I bear every wound
With compassion and non-harm.
Holy Humility,
Holy Emptiness,
I bow my head before you
I have become nothing,
For your All to shine in my soul.
Holy Freedom,
Holy Rejoicing,
I open my heart to the world
Offering myself to this day,
In joyfulness and gratitude.
Amen.
