Gratitude

I was among a few local folks interviewed by Central Oregon Daily News for a segment on the benefits of gratitude. This is the kind of life affirming programming we need in the news sphere. I later spoke with the reporter, Scott Elnes, and expressed my gratitude that they would air a program on gratitude!

Gratitude unplugs our ears and opens our eyes to life. It helps us be present to the gift of every moment—even when it is difficult. When we appreciate whatever seems to be mirroring our perception, we have more flexibility in our response. After all, loving kindness moves in mysterious ways but always seeks to be of greatest benefit. Gratitude is the gateway to compassion.

Much Love,

🙏🏼Michael

"Generosity brings happiness at every stage of its expression.

We experience joy in forming the intention to be generous.

We experience joy in the actual act of giving something.

And we experience joy in remembering the fact that we have given."
