On Sunday, November 22, 2009, I have been asked to be the lay leader for the All Souls Unitarian Universalist Church on Gotham Street in Watertown, New York. I am very honored and look forward to returning to this lovely facility and my friends. Last April I taught a course on the Way of Being: Living Fearlessly in Troubled Times. This upcoming Sunday, as we enter the holiday season, I will talk about abundance and gratitude. Thanksgiving is traditionally a time when we more intentionally think about all that we are thankful for in our lives. We may sit around our Thanksgiving table and share with family and guests that which is most important to each of us. But one day and one dinner is not enough. Consider what it might mean to move beyond a seasonal to a daily practice of gratitude? What if we began and ended each day recounting our blessings? What would this mean for living a truly fulfilled life? On November 22, in Watertown, we will examine the possibilities. Through prose, poetry, story, song, and group interaction, we will look at how living in gratitude could become a "way of being" that could have profound positive influence on our lives.
As I prepare for this service, I would love to hear from you. Do you have a daily practice of gratitude? What are you most thankful for today? If you have an established practice, what has been most beneficial for you? Please share your thoughts and ideas in the comment section of this blog.

Thanks so much.
Namaste,
Marsha
