Thanksgiving is a very old holiday, not only in this country but in many cultures. At this time of year people have traditionally paused to give thanks for the year's harvest.
As the sun shines golden through the bright autumn leaves, I, too, pause to give thanks for my friends, my family of choice, and the beauty of the natural world. Psychologists tell us that "the gratitude practice," the simple act of finding three things to be thankful for each day, can make us happier and healthier.
May you find health, happiness, and a deep sense of peace in this holiday season and may this spirit of peace go forth to heal this beautiful but troubled planet we call home.

Dearest Diane,
ReplyDeletepeace be with you this holiday season. I, too, started an inner journey 6 years ago with your book, The Tao of Womanhood. I went through each chapter, pondering, praying and journaling about the thoughts in your book. During the study, I began to feel an inner shift in my mind set and my ability to accept love and therefore begin to honor the person that I was becoming. I was so joyful when I found you on Facebook and knew in time, that I would be able to personally say thank you. You and your heartfelt words have been a blessing to me.
