Hello A blessed Thanksgiving to all our American readers. And even for those of us who don't celebrate this holiday, we can still put aside some time to count our blessings, and contemplate on what we are most grateful for. An attitude of gratitude can dramatically change the way we perceive and respond to situations and one another -- It colours everything with a rainbow of possibilities. It can open doors to opportunities (and hearts). It inspires, encourages, nourishes. It's universal and there's no expiry date! No more. No less. Just what we make of it.I have a wonderful Feature Article for you today about "Making Life Yours" -- A short, sweet, and perfect piece to help us set the tone for when we take stock of what we've accomplished this year and plan for the new year. I also have 3 very special Gifts for you to enjoy. Be sure to check them all out below. Feeling gratitude and not expressing it is like wrapping a present and not giving it.I can't remember where I read that but it struck a chord. So, in closing... I'm grateful for my supportive husband who encourages me into being the best that I can be... my son, for the sheer joy he brings to his proud momma's heart... my amazing friends and adorable cat. I'm grateful to be doing business on the www where opportunities abound and there are no traffic jams, no 9-to-5's. I occasionally put in longer hours, but I'm grateful that's my choice to make. I also want you to know that I am grateful for YOU... my customers and subscribers who help to make this all possible. It's a privilege to know you, serve you, and grow with you on your business journey. May you always be surrounded by love and light.

Food for ThoughtWhen you are inspired... dormant forces, faculties, and talents become alive. ~ Patanjali ~ Can you see the holiness in those things you take for granted--a paved road or a washing machine? If you concentrate on finding what is good in every situation, you will discover that your life will suddenly be filled with gratitude, a feeling that nurtures the soul. ~ Rabbi Harold Kushner ~ Whatever we are waiting for -- peace of mind, contentment, grace, the inner awareness of simple abundance -- it will surely come to us, but only when we are ready to receive it with an open and grateful heart. Gratitude arises in that in-between space where the inner and outer worlds meet and touch and encompass each other. ~ Ellen Vaughn ~ Product Highlight

Making Life YoursPerception© DailyOM.comThere is no secret recipe for happiness and contentment. The individuals who move through life joyously have not necessarily been blessed with lives of abundance, love, success, and prosperity. Such people have, however, been blessed with the ability to take the circumstances they've been handed and make them into something great. Our individual realities are colored by perception - delight and despair come from within rather than without. Situations we regard as fortuitous please us while situations we judge inauspicious cause us no end of grief. Yet if we can look at all we have accomplished without dwelling on our perceived misfortune and make each new circumstance our own, the world as a whole becomes a brighter place. A simple shift in attitude can help us recognize and unearth the hidden potential for personal and outer world fulfillment in every event, every relationship, every duty, and every setback. The universe is often an unpredictable and chaotic place, and the human tendency is to focus on the negative and assume the positive will care for itself. But life can be no more or no less than what you make of it. If you are working in a job you dislike, you can concentrate on the positive aspects of the position and approach your work with gusto. What can you do with this job that can turn it around so you do love it. When faced with the prospect of undertaking a task you fear, you can view it as an opportunity to discover what you are truly capable of doing. Similarly, unexpected events, when viewed as surprises, can add flavor to your existence. By choosing to love life no matter what crosses your path, you can create an atmosphere of jubilance that is wonderfully infectious. A change in perspective is all it takes to change your world, but you must be willing to adopt an optimistic, hopeful mind-set. To make a conscious decision to be happy is not enough. You must learn to observe life's complexities through the eyes of a child seeing everything for the first time. You must furthermore divest yourself of preconceived notions of what is good and what is bad so that you can appreciate the rich insights concealed in each stage of your life's journey. And you must strive to discover the dual joys of wanting what you have. As you gradually shift your perspective, your existence will be imbued with happiness and contentment that will remain with you forever.
