An "Attitude of Gratitude" is a spiritual quality that has been valued and
extolled for thousands of years. It seems to be a key component of inner beauty,
personal radiance, personal warmth and contentment.

The post-modern, consumerist culture we live in tempts usconstantly
down the path of self-centredness and a "Commanding and Demanding"
attitude, which offer short-term illusions of self-empowerment but, over time,
so easily erode our peace of mind and relationship quality.

It is good that we don't passively accept all that life and people
throw at us. It is good that we give clear feedback about our needs,
expectations, wishes and disappointments. Yet how much more potent we are when
we are able to soften our egocentric demands into requests, and balance the
demands we place on others with SINCERE expressions of appreciation.

My much-valued friend and colleague, Wendy Jilley, the Norfolk
herbalist and healer, has pointed me towards a new project which aims to spread
the "message" (timely reminder), about the life-enhancing power of gratitude, to
a million people.

The project uses powerful moving images, heart-warming words and an
esoteric symbol to remind us of the power and importance of
an "Attitude of Gratitude" in our lives. You can explore this at:
