While some may not like the word "prayer", my personal definition has less to do with a belief in God or Spirit than it has to do with a deep connection in my heart and soul that often ends up with a feeling of superb gratitude, an earnest request on behalf of myself or another that is released into the universe...or simply that great sense of peace and love I feel each time I silence myself, connect with my breath and "pray". So with Thanksgiving approaching, I began to think about how to celebrate, and I was reminded of a quote by Meister Eckhart: "If the only prayer you said in your whole life was, "thank you," that would suffice. " I just love it! So a simple suggestion to for both myself and you...take time this week to connect to all that which you are grateful for. Then offer a sincere "thank-you", whether it be for a specific act, or simply for the importance a special person has in your life. Do this with as many people as you can! The very act of "thanking" someone is not only a prayer, but also a blessing you bestow on someone. As you thank and bless another, so are you blessed. Have a lovely week my friends and thank-you for encouraging me to write and share from my heart.
