November is a fantastic time to focus on gratitude. I love thinking of a specific gratitude each day of the month. This way I can mindfully pay tribute to all aspects of my life and give thanks for all I have.
Today I'm feeling especially thankful for all of my clients during 2011. As my business grew from coaching and retreats to Celebrant ---creating ceremonies for birthdays, memorials and weddings, I feel so darn lucky to work with each one of the people I have been privileged to meet. Each client and situation unique and special, but in every case, it was such an honor to be trusted to walk with you down your path, to listen to your story, and perhaps to inspire you as you have inspired me.
Thanks to all of you reading this for your support as well.
From this place of gratitude, I've been giving lots of thought to how best to give back in a meaningful way. I've been pondering and researching the many worthy charities and causes, and have decided on one. I'll be donating a percentage of my business income this year to the Placer SPCA. In the end my love of animals and a desire to stay with a local charity helped me choose. Check out their website or the Sacramento SPCA, or for more charity ideas check out Charity Navigator.
