Radical Gratitude Day 8

Kayla ☀️

Kayla’s mom Tali was a dear friend and client who came to me in the most divinely orchestrated of ways.
Very soon after we met, she was diagnosed with colon cancer and passed away after an incredibly courageous battle. Being a part of her journey was a great honor. She was, and continues to be a Bright Yellow Ray of Sunshine.☀️

One day just after she passed, I heard a message from her as clear as if she was in front of me saying: continue our work with Kayla.

I had only met Kayla once, and so I was a little surprised by the request, why me? But Tali was a force to be reckoned with and so I obeyed, trusting the same guidance that brought me to her in the first place.

Kayla excitedly said yes and at our first meeting, without hesitation, plopped down in the seat that was Tali’s- It was the confirmation I needed.

Since then we spend every Friday afternoon together. Sometimes we meditate, sometimes we talk about Tali and I teach her about signs, we laugh and cry and scream and sometimes we just get pedicures and eat chocolate.

Kayla is the same Bright Yellow Ray of Sunshine as her mom. Sometimes when the light hits her a certain way I think I’m looking at Tali.

I used to think that the reason Tali found me was to be part of her journey, but now I see that it was always meant to continue with Kayla.

But she is with us always, shining over our shoulder like a Bright Yellow Ray of Sunshine ☀️

How lucky am I ?

Radical Gratitude Day 4

Signs!

Orange is my color. The color that spirit communicates to me with.
When I ask or need, it shows up! Sometimes it is so instantaneous that I have to laugh out loud. Like before I can even gather a thought an orange car will drive by. Sometimes it shows up unexpectedly, leading me into a scavenger hunt for clues.
About a year ago I posted about my connection to orange, particularly an orange mylar balloon stuck in a tree (see below if you want to read more).

Yesterday I saw an orange mylar balloon in front of my neighbor’s house and I felt the familiar snag. But I wasn’t asking and so I wondered if it for me. So I said “if you’re trying to get my attention, please make it clear.” Then today the same balloon travelled down the block and was stuck in a tree in front of my house…

Doesn’t get clearer than that now does it? Pure Magic!

Radical Gratitude Day 3

A Beautiful Fall Day

This weekend was glorious, a perfect fall weekend.

Every year I try my best to appreciate the fall. The way the leaves turn from green to radian oranges, reds, and gold to burnt orange, brown and eventually fall.

Every year I tell myself that I will be present and not dread what is to come, and every year I fail. The impending winter always wins. The cold seeps into my bones and that old familiar feeling settles in.

Last year was different. I experienced the seasons through the lens of it being the last, as it was for my father.
I would send him photos and videos of anything beautiful I witnessed.

One incredible snowstorm in February took my breath away. Wet, heavy, gigantic snowflakes were coming down fast, blanketing everything. I called my parents and said you have to get out and see this storm, it is magical. My father got on the phone and said “Tania, I know you think I need to see one more snow, but I have seen countless beautiful snowstorms, I am at peace.” He heard my disappointment and said “why don’t we FaceTime instead”. So I bundled up and went out into the dark and took a walk with him. It was eerily quiet, we didn’t need to speak and it felt as if he was by my side holding my hand. I was with him for his last snowstorm.

We don’t live our lives as if anything could be our last, we take time for granted. It was a gift to know that time was finite, it allowed me to appreciate everything.

So Daddy, this year I will try my best to be in the moment and appreciate the seasons. (Even the winter)

Radical Gratitude Day 2:

Sisterhood.

I spent the afternoon with my mom and her bestie.

These women have been friends for over 40 years.
They have been through all the highs and lows of life. Births to deaths, weddings and funerals. They support and inspire each other through everything and now as widows they are facing this last chapter of life with the same loyalty and trust.

Listening to them reminisce was a glimpse into their sisterhood. They laughed, cried, and finished each other’s sentences.
And when they spoke of the future I felt their commitment to one another.

There is nothing like sisterhood. I have had the great good fortune of having many sisters in my life, from every chapter in my life. And what I know with certainty is that I wouldn’t have gotten through this journey of life without them.

WELCOME TO THE RADICAL GRATITUDE CHALLENGE!

One year ago this week my father was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, he passed away 4 months later after declining treatment. Instead of suffering, he spent the time seeing every moment as a gift.
What I learned from him (among many things) is a profound sense of gratitude.

So, join me every day for the month of November as I explore gratitude.
Every day I’ll post (here or on my story) something that I am grateful for.

When we feel gratitude, we move from a state of wanting into a state of having. This creates the feeling of abundance.
This shift literally creates miracles, because we start seeing that everything is a gift, even the challenges become opportunities. You begin to believe that the Universe is always working in our favor, even if it doesn’t feel that way in the moment.

So join me by commenting here and telling me what you’re grateful for. Post yourselves and tag me, forward to your story, help me spread the word! Find something small like a smile from a stranger or BIG like your mama, but please join me.

TODAY, I am grateful that I had the opportunity to know that my time with my father was short. That we had the opportunity to say everything we wanted to say to each other.
One day about a month before he died he told me that the greatest gift in his life was having loved and knowing he was loved.

I don’t think there is much more to say…

Radical Gratitude Day 8

My morning coffee.
Or should I say, my daily dose of comfort.
Not so much in the coffee, but in the warm greeting I get when I walk into
No matter the mood I walk in with, I leave feeling happier.

I am very particular about my coffee. This is an understatement, so if it’s not perfect, I’d rather skip it. This is a point of contention for my husband and me as I often throw away a coffee that doesn’t suit me.
Trust me, this is not my best quality…

During covid when coffee shops stopped letting you mix your own coffee, this became a problem for me. Watching someone else try to get my coffee right makes me crazy and it requires all of my meditation skills to not react.

Because everyone knows me and my (shall we say) quirkiness, they break the rules and allow me to do it myself. I am always kind and appreciative of their efforts to appease me, but I have no idea what is said when I walk out the door. Probably something like “I can’t believe she teaches meditation”.

So today I am grateful for my morning cup of coffee prepared just the way I like it.

WELCOME TO THE RADICAL GRATITUDE CHALLENGE

Join me every day for the month of November as I explore gratitude.
Every day I’ll post (here or on my story) something that I am grateful for.

Gratitude is the seed of intention. When we feel grateful, we move from a state of wanting into a state of having. This creates the feeling of abundance.
When we send that vibration out into the universe it gets reflected back at us, giving us even more to be grateful for.

So find something small, like a smile from a stranger. Or big, like your mother, 😉 and everything in between.

When we can find gratitude in even the most challenging of times we create miracles.
Trust and believe that the Universe is always working in our favor. Even if it doesn’t feel that way in the moment.

So post, tag a friend, tag me, hashtag RadicalGratitude, comment on my page telling me what you’re grateful for. Whatever works for you!

So TODAY, I am grateful that you are reading this and hopefully will help me spread the word.

I don’t share a lot about my family here but I’m feeling an overwhelming sense of pride from last night.

It was the 30th anniversary of an event I’ve chaired for 23 years.

This single event saved my life.

It gave me something positive to focus on at a time when we were faced with an unchartered future, and I ran with it.

As a result of this gala, I made life long connections with people I never would have met otherwise AND it gave me a voice.

The theme of this year’s event was LOVE and much to my surprise the committee asked my boys to be the speakers.

Gulp.

To say that their lives have been unburdened would be a lie.
The things that they can’t do, that other families can, have shaped who they are. There’s been a lot of fighting and jealousy over the years definitely not all acceptance and LOVE.

BUT, they spoke from their hearts and they spoke the truth about the headships of having a brother with different abilities.

They spoke of connections made with other siblings lifelong memories.

They spoke about the qualities they have learned and the bond the three of them have.

They made us laugh and cry and at the end brought the crowd to their feet.

While having a child with different abilities takes your life in a totally different direction than you thought you were headed, there are moments of joy that are unparalleled.

And to know that your children’s lives are deeper and more full filing because of their challenges is something a parent prays for.

Eli and Aden, to say I am proud of you is a great understatement. My heart is so full it hurts.

And to quote you Eli “thank you Jonah for giving us the gift of being your younger brother “

I think my job is done…

We ended the trip at the spot that inspired the trip. The backdrop of my studio at home.
6 years ago I had the idea to return with my own group. I didn’t know how or when but I knew it would happen.
Realizing your dream is a pretty feeling.
I am full of pride and gratitude.
I did it.

Jaipur. Samode Haveli.
One of my favorite hotels in the world.
This rustic palace with old world charm is not for everyone, but to me an oasis in the middle of the old city.

Today we celebrate Holi.

We planned our trip around this celebration.
The city is full of excitement as the festivities have begun.
Can’t wait to see what is in store for us.
Stay tuned
