Gratitude:  It’s something I hear about a lot in November, although it took me until almost the end of the month to stop and sit with the feeling. I am obviously Grateful for life, family, love, nourishing food, but I am also busy, filling up each day with activities and chores, not leaving much room for reflection and Gratitude in the moment. I decided to start small today, remembering before each meal to take a moment to realize what went into the food I am about to eat, take a few deep breaths and just be thankful. Maybe it could grow into a morning reflection as well, since I can’t seem to make meditating a priority (or even remember to do it at all most of the time..)

Beyond life’s everyday blessings, and the love I experience every day through my partner, family and friends (and even strangers!), I am also grateful for my wonderful clients. I am constantly amazed at the kind, loving people that find me through referrals, vendors, friends, and online. There has to be something divine working in the background, and believe me I will never take it for granted.

Happy Thanksgiving iJett extended family- I hope you can take a moment in the next few days to examine what you are grateful for, and feel the sense of peace and happiness that comes with it.  Taking even a few seconds to be thankful is nourishment to the soul.
