“We Who Believe in Freedom”

Ella Baker co-founded the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, SCLC, with Martin Luther King, Jr. Yet, few know of her work. In 1981, Bernice Reagon, founder of the group Sweet Honey in the Rock, wrote Ella’s Song. The lyrics are as relevant today as they were decades ago. Enjoy.

A Story to Touch Your Heart

I found this video searching for information about Buddhism in Africa. It tells the story, not only of a Buddhist retreat center, but also of a little African girl and her life. It’s 30 minutes long but well worth the watch when you have time.

Benefits of the Gratitude 100 Practice

Although I’ve practiced gratitude since childhood, since I began this daily practice, I created to help others, it’s helped me. Writing down just one reason to be grateful has been like throwing a stone into a lake. The ripples have grown wider and wider and wider.

  • Helps me focus on the positive
  • Reduces stress
  • Let’s me search for causes of feelings of unbalance and disharmony
  • Creates better relationships

The Gratitude 100 is a simple practice

  • The 20 page Gratitude 100 Journal will arrive immediately to download and print
  • Write answers in the journal to enhance reflection
  • One daily e-mail with a short paragraph followed by a gratitude question
  • Questions cycle under physical, spiritual, emotional, mental, and financial
  • No rules. You don’t have to answer every question. But for 100 days you’ll receive a message to inspire gratitude.

So, if you haven’t yet, click HERE. Let’s share the experience proving Gratitude 100 works to create fulfillment, balance, and happiness.

January Beach Walk

IMG_1314

Alaska white sun blazes

cloudless blue sky.

Water ripples like textured glass.

Waves lap lightly to shore.

Stream tinkles through ice

over rocks.

Couples stroll laugh.

Groups jump, stumble.

Dogs run and stare.

Towards sun

 a lover’s gentle touch

on face.

Turn around

quiet wind slaps

like blowing ice.
