The Pilgrims gave thanks for the harvest in 1621, and President Lincoln declared Thanksgiving a day of rest and a national holiday in 1863. Giving thanks doesn't need to be saved for the big things, and it surely doesn't have to be saved for one official day of the year.

"If the only prayer you ever say in your entire life is "thank you - it will be enough", said Meister Eckhart, a German Christian mystic of the 13th Century. I believe that a thankful heart is a prayerful heart. Our affirmations are important and profound: "Thank you God/Goddess/all that is, for the peace I have now." But even the acknowledgements of Spirit's smallest gifts connect us deeply to the Divine: "Thank you for the smell of bread baking" also means "I am grateful for my sense of smell, my sight, my freedom of thoughts and actions, my imagination and my capacity to enjoy and appreciate in the now."

I am grateful that I have been gifted with the ability to heal, and truly blessed to be able to help people overcome negativity and/or challenges through difficult times. I am grateful that I have the ability to hold your vision until you are ready to take it and create it. I am grateful that God/Goddess/all that is, has brought so many incredible people into my life to share my wisdom and spiritual teachings. I am blessed and grateful for each and everyone of you reading this newsletter today.

As I've said before, what we choose to focus on is what will become our reality , and there are so many ways we can choose to look at things. "We don't see things as they are, we see them as we are." When you have a thankful heart you don't even need "some thing" to be thankful for - the more you focus your mind in readiness, the more you'll notice things to celebrate. What do you notice? Those are your gifts!

Today take a moment and answer the question: "What am I grateful for?" Ask yourself that question everyday leading up to Thanksgiving. On Thanksgiving, when sitting with family, friends, partners, or even by yourself with your dog, start your meal by saying, "I give thanks to the God of my understanding. I am thankful and grateful for (fill in the blank)." This is a wonderful tradition to pass along each year.

Although every thing is complete in spirit, the world has problems that will take time, patience, effort and creative energy to resolve. We all need affirmation, we need respect, we need to feel good about our lives, we need to feel useful, we need to feel optimistic. Especially, we all need to feel more love. The past is gone and we only have this moment in time. It is in the now that we create our future. It is in the now that by giving thanks for what is good in your life, you will draw more good to you. You know it works!

You are the channel that brings Spirit through to the physical plane - sending thanks to the Universe purifies and clears the channel, making it easier for you to receive the Universal blessings. Feeling gratitude is how you exercise your spiritual muscles, and strengthen the love in your heart and soul.

We all have so much to be thankful for, from the smallest things that make up our daily lives to the most profound. The Tibetan Dalai Lama said, "Happiness is not something ready-made. It comes from your own actions."

You do not need to be American to celebrate Thanksgiving. You can join your American friends on Thanksgiving from your own homes and celebrate how much you also have to be thankful for. I hope you will all join me in giving thanks. I send you blessings for a blissful and Happy Thanksgiving!
