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.

Taj Mahal at sunrise.
The start of our last day.

Jaipur vegetable market.

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

A morning stroll through Narlai.
We were welcomed with such enthusiasm. Villagers running out of their homes to greet us.

Off to Jodhpur

03/21/2024

From Udaipur for Narlai.
Stopped at Ranakpur Jain Temple and had an orchard lunch along the way.

Sunset safari in search of leopards (yes, saw 3!) and ended with a beautiful rooftop dinner at the Rawla Palace hotel.
An amazing full day!

Some beautiful faces of India.

In 10 days I will depart for my long awaited return to India.

I have known since the day left that I would be back, trusting the universe to guide me when the time was right.

India is both breathtaking and heartbreaking at the same time, and if you allow it to, it will change you in ways that you can’t even imagine.
And so I felt a grief after returning that stayed with me for weeks.

A year ago I felt the nudge. I spend two months creating the perfect trip with Iris Eplan and then put it out there to all of you.
I remember choosing just the right day to announce it and as I hit send on the email I took a deep breath and said a prayer.

There are still days here at the studio when nobody signs up for a class or event. While seldom, it still happens, and so I take nothing for granted.
Would anyone trust me enough to follow me all the way to India? My self doubt triggered the moment I hit send and it took everything in me to keep my vision strong.

To my astonishment, the trip sold out in one week and 16 people are coming with me.
I am humbled and honored and beyond excited.

So please stay tuned here, I will share this journey with all of you if you are interested.

And maybe, just maybe you will join me for the next one!

I try to live my life through a lens of awe and wonder.
A few months ago I started capturing orbs on film in the studio and in my meditation space at home. They were everywhere, and it felt like pure joy surrounding me. But one day I doubted it. I decided to ask and I grabbed a book off my shelf and opened a page that read: “We are here…”
I couldn’t believe it, even I was blown away.

But a few days later I read that sometimes orbs are just dust particles captured on film, I was crushed, so I decided to ask spirit for an answer.

Ive learned that if you ask for a very specific sign it will appear. You might have to give it some time, but ask for something that is undeniable.
I was in my car stopped at a light and I said “if these arbs are real, send me something orange”.

As the light turned green a truck passed me and revealed several workmen on the side of the road all dressed-ORANGE!
I laughed out loud, then turned my head and saw a house with a dozen pumpkins in front. It didn’t stop, for the rest of the day I saw orange everywhere, the day even ended with an event in the town of Orangeburg.

It was almost too much, was my mind just seeing orange because it wanted to.

So I decided to give it one final test; “send me an orange balloon”. And in my mind I pictured an orange mylar balloon stuck in a tree.

Weeks went by. I continued to see orange everywhere but no balloon.
Until one day I decided to take a new route to the studio and there in front or a new store was a bouquet of orange Mylar balloons!
It took my breath away. but still in the back of my mind I knew I was holding out for the orange balloon stuck in a tree.

And this morning, on my way to work, on a day when I was feeling a bit down and really needed a sigh, there it was. A ripped orange Mylar ballon stuck in a tree. AND without a chance to take it in an orange Maserati passed in front of me, as if saying yea we know you needed icing on the cake! (Orange of course)

Ps, the book I sell more than any other is SIGNS by
