Hi Kristopher,

Thank you for this post. Gratitude is possible everywhere, even in the midst of perceived suffering lies gratitude. Gratitude for the learning, for the growth, for the releasing of that which doesn’t serve us any longer.

I love the way you embody gratitude. It isn’t a concept, but rather a knowing the runs deep. It is always a joy to watch people as the move from the concept of gratitude to the embodiment and knowing of gratitude. So much expansion occurs in life, as soul. Because being who you are as soul, is a state of grace and gratitude.

Again, thank you for sharing you!

Much love and aloha,
Amy

Hi Steve,

That’s wonderful. Keep reaching for your dreams and live as though they are here right now. In fact, they are. You the personality self need only catch up with them.

Love and Light,

Kris

Hi Kris:
As I read your post this morning I focused on the things that I enjoy and the things I have gratitude for and I felt myself soften and the flow within me begin to expand. Thanks to you and all you have offered me over the past several years I finally feel my world expanding. I may not be living my dream right now but I feel the winds of change blowing and the possibility of great things solidifying into my life.

Thanks, Love and Light
Steve

Hi Beth,

Thank you for responding. I can only imagine there is probably nothing more painful to the heart than the loss of a child. I have not experienced this personally, but have lost loved ones. When we have fully allowed ourselves to grieve we find what is left is love – eternal love that is timeless. We also appreciate more than ever the gifts that person brought to our lives.

And yes, cultivating gratitude for this precious gift of life, and for all that we do have, opens the door for more quality and quantity of the same.

Thank you for your heartfelt words.

Love and Light,

Kristopher

Dear Kristopher,

Thanks.

This was almost too painful for me to read, at first. Although I am so very happy for you, your dear wife and child — in my life, our little daughter died (many years ago, but there are times when still I miss her keenly, of course), and my beloved spouse has more lately abandoned sharing love with me and entered into a terrible, distant state. The contrast, your happy home and my bleak one, did lead me to weep.

However, I am glad that I persisted enough to read your last two paragraphs. I know, from direct experience, that gratitude, even a lightly whispered gratitude (sometimes that is all we may feel the strength to offer; it too is very good…) begins to reopen our shocked and injured heart — to that ever-present Love and heartful Interrelation.

Along with you, dear Kristopher, I truly wish this great, encompassing
happiness to us all. Gratitude, even the simplest and most fundamental sort, grants us some relief from suffering now, and opens us to further blessing. Who knows what other goodness may follow…I am open to all.

Blessings,

Beth
