Gratitude Friday :: Birthdays, Books, and Babies

It's Gratitude Friday!Wendy Piersall (everyone’s favorite eMom) encouraged me to start a weekly series here, and given my Learning Edge is about exploring the Law of Attraction, I figured I’d take one of LoA’s key principles (which is also one of Sufism’s key principles), and create “Gratitude Fridays.”

Every Friday I’ll post about the things that are inspiring my heart with gratitude, from all areas of my life, including relationships and resources that you may find useful. My intent is that it becomes a way to increase the joy and richness in your life as well as mine.

Ingratitude reveals ignorance,
and the friends of truth are truly thankful.
— Shabistari

With no further ado…

Char P. of Essential Keystrokes is celebrating her “blogging birthday” this week, and giving away a bunch of gifts in the process — including a subscription to my Inner Audio Series, which I’m very grateful for. (Char also joined in Hilda Carrol’s music meme, recently, just like I did; she’s a fellow music lover, so her post is well worth the read).

My good friend Dawud Miracle is joining Wendy Piersall at eMoms at Home — he’ll be a regular voice over there, bringing his perspective as an eDad to the mix. I’m grateful all around for both of them and all of us, and I’m excited to see what will flow from their partnership.

Edward Mills of Evolving Times wrote a great article about the difference between “telling” and “showing” when it comes to the Law of Attraction — very, very meaty and rich. Thanks for the article, Ed.

All The Tea In China, by Jeremy HaftAnd, I won a book this week from In Bubble Wrap, called “All The Tea In China” — how cool is that? In Bubble Wrap gives away free business books just about every day, no strings attached, which is something I know a lot of people are grateful for. Check ‘em out. Can you believe it? The day I blog about IBW, they close up shop. I just went over to see what the book of the day is, and I find a notice that he’s packing it in. Good news, though: he says everyone who enters the final drawing (which will be up until July 6, he says) will get a book. Which book, who knows; but a book it will be. Act now, or forever hold your peace.

And to round out the list, one of our good friends, Penelope Melas (wife of Greg Lee, owners of Two Frogs Healing Center, where my wife is going to be teaching a workshop on defeating your sugar cravings in July), had a baby girl early Thursday morning. Congratulations, Lee family!

What are you grateful for this week?

    I am so grateful for all the wonderful people I have met over the past year of blogging! You are definitely one I am glad to have met. Thanks for the link love and have a fabulous weekend.

    I try to be grateful every day, but for the purposes of this post I’ll say this blog, especially for the post on What’s Your Learning Edge? It really stirred up some good memories and some great conversation.

    I’m also grateful to John Grogan for not giving up on his dog Marley, even when an expert said the kindest thing would be to put Marley to sleep. And, of course, I’m grateful he wrote Marley & Me, which has touched the hearts of thousands of people.

    And I’m grateful to J. K. Rowling, who is contributing to childhood literacy with her Harry Potter series.

    You are most welcome Adam. I’m grateful for our new friendship!

    Char, I agree — if someone had told me about a smidgeon of the amazing people I’ve met since starting blogging having on-line conversations like this, I would’ve started years ago.

    Jean, you truly are the bibliophile! I’m grateful you’re here, too. :-)
    Ed, big ditto.
