The concept of synchronicity really resonates with me. Both while traveling and while in the everyday environs, these situations have evolved. In my specific context, the interaction is mostly with people and comes into aliveness by some connection. Of course, one must be alert and somewhat active in the process by simply participating in the opportunity. This may mean starting a conversation, asking a question, or merely smiling at another. These experiences have been for me the very proof of the divine and the evidence that we are all really ONE. Thanks for your story.

Deep and honest awareness about one’s state and vulnerability is a wonderful gift. Being objective about our personal situation is critical and must be done in humility. Often times, solutions are found in the lives or action of others. The concept of healthy envy strikes a cord. Of course it does run the risk of self-absorption rather the healing. Understanding these pitfalls and being able to harness the positive is a unique view. I do believe that gratefulness is the source that allows for this to occur. Thanks for sharing yourself, this is at the heart of the connectedness that is our reason for being.

I am so very pleased to see Gratefulness both acknowledge and choose to partner with such a movement. It is a quite natural fit. I signed the Charter a few years ago after having seen Karen Armstrong’s TED talk. It is quite encouraging to see that a sincere movement towards unity and interdependence is gaining momentum. My most deep seeded source of gratefulness comes from the awareness that the Great Mystery of life is the simple connectedness that is our web of existence. It is the most powerful force is we only embrace it with compassion and grace.
