We feel much gratitude for those who guided us and contributed abundantly to our lives.  Living in the Stream of Yes, we devote ourselves to seeing the Good. With relish, we appreciate these wonderful people. This helps us fuel feeling Good today.

Appreciate, appreciate. We may be habitually listing what and who delights us. Some folks have shaped our lives enormously.

Example: A Guiding Light for Geraldine

At age 26 Geraldine traveled from the Boston area to New York City to attend a seminar on General Semantics. One speaker addressed the audience about noticing our self talk, reframing internal messages that were limiting unkind, oppressive or untrue. G felt drawn to her, immediately wanting to learn more.

Inspired by the messy divorce of her parents, G grew very interested to discover alternatives to the poor communication and very hurt feelings that she witnessed in her family. This protagonist became determined to learn how to handle delicate human relationships with more kindness and skill.

This woman offered just such guidance.  She knew how to retrain thinking and gain new competencies.  Ahead of the curve in 1976 Jessie knew how what we think shapes our perception of the world– and thereby the life we live! Geraldine had the amazing good fortune to meet her at that tender and potent age.

In a few months our heroine attended a two-week residential program where Jessie taught. Upon completion, recommended some activities which would accelerate G’s development Jin Shin Jyutsu, therapy created by a couple called Pesso, and Re-evaluation Co-counseling. This star pursued each deeply over many years and gained immeasurable benefit.

G decided to follow the suggestions. She wanted greater compassion, joie de vivre, self love, strength of character, deep belief in Good and a sparkle in her eyes.

Take Away

Each of us has the chance to build up our vibration daily with review of those who imparted invaluable insight, skills, role models and more.

We can flush our awareness with our gratitude as we relish the details of how much each assisted us. And, we can stand up and take a bow that we attracted these folk into our lives.  Why do this? It feels great!
