THE GREAT GRATITUDE ADVENTURE/ DAY 30/ RED SHOES

"Love You to the Moon and Back"

Red Shoes

It can be easy to assume that everyone around us knows more than we do.

That they are more  knowledgeable on subjects that are important to us.

Things like, oh, I don’t know...

Religion, creative choices, relationships...whatever you wish to insert here, but the broader definition would just be knowledge on how to navigate life in general.

Perhaps they are older.

Perhaps they are well studied on a particular subject

Maybe they have a genius IQ

Or a photographic memory

Maybe even tremendous life experience complete with a school of hard knocks degree.

Whatever the case may be--- it is easy, oh so easy--- to assume that we should look to those more knowledgeable to take our cues on what’s best for us.

Granted, no one asks us to do this.  Sometimes it just seems easier to trust someone other than ourselves, someone who seems to have the right answers, a lot of knowledge.

The thing to note here is this.

There is knowledge 
and then there’s something called intuition, our inner wisdom---

That part of us which for some reason doesn’t seem to need to go on a fact-finding, knowledge building quest in order to know what is best for us.

Certainly, it is  helpful to look at what is known, what comes to us from the outside.

However,

It is life-changing to go with the wisdom that comes from inside.

Like Dorothy and the Ruby Red Slippers

we had it all along.

Intuition will tell the thinking mind where to look next.
~Jonas Salk

The intellect has little to do on the road to discovery. There comes a leap in consciousness, call it intuition or what you will, and the solution comes to you and you don’t know how or why. 
~Albert Einstein

I rely far more on gut instinct than researching huge amounts of statistics. 
~Richard Branson


If prayer is you talking to God, then intuition is God talking to you. 
~Wayne Dyer

Thanks for reminding me to remember my siblings and a childhood that was idyllic in many ways. They definitely helped shape who I am and I will get to eat with 3 out of 4 of them today!

Almost Over??

I'm thinking that something as good as the gratitude adventure shouldn't have to end...

This has been, without a doubt, one of the most enjoyable things I have ever been part of.  I have read every comment (over 5300 and counting). 

It has been an incredible gift---connections made on a soul level:))  Thanks to each of you for taking part, for sharing yourself.   

The Great Gratitude Adventure has become, as one of you put it, "a collective gratitude journal".

With so many gaining so much from it and supporting each other through it, it comes as no surprise----it has taken on a life of its own!

To that end, after giving it serious thought and staying mostly open to what we could do with this awesome sense of gratefulness---the idea popped in my mind to create a Gratitude Dropbox.  

One place that is perpetually open to post gratitude comments and delight in what others are sharing.  

Instead of just for November, a year around place to land, read, and share the amazing joys of life.

This is a starting place.  Who knows where it will end.  It doesn't matter.  For now we all have a place, online, to put it in writing....we are grateful beings:))
