(No Matter What)
This week, everyone’s talking about gratitude.
And that’s beautiful — in theory.
But what if, instead of sprinting through a gratitude list that keeps everyone else at the center of your story…
you began with you?
What if you chose to be grateful for yourself —
for your sense of humor that still shows up even when life takes a left turn to Albuquerque,
for your genius that refuses to die no matter how many times you’ve had to start over,
for your miraculous body that carries you through each day — sometimes wobbly, always faithful,
for your extraordinary presence,
for your particular kind of magic in this world?
What if that was the meditation this week?
No guilt. No forced cheer.
Just quiet awe that you’re still here.
Still becoming.
Still glowing in ways only you can.
How different might everything look if you started here — with yourself, for real?
