So todays post is all about why you need gratitude in your life but first I ask you:
‘Are you in a ‘spring time’ mood?’
I know I am!
Around the neighbourhood the magnolia trees are putting on a dazzling display, in my yard the camellia, hyacinth and daffodils are also on show and I saw a hummingbird zipping around yesterday for the first time since the fall.
I know winter is not quite over yet but it really does feel as if spring has sprung!
Things are blooming here at Full Flight Life Coaching too (bad pun I know lol).
I have opened up spaces for my spring Overwhelmed to Optimal program, we recently had our second Power Posse (PP) session (local group coaching fun for women only) which was beautifully hosted by one of our PP members and I have some new coaching goodies I am working on
-so life remains busy!
Power Posse Update
Awhile back I had asked the Power Posse ladies for discussion topics to cover during our sessions and one member wisely suggested we talk about gratitude. So at her request the last meet up focussed on gratitude and why without it you will never, ever feel like you have enough.
Instead of sharing my thoughts about gratitude with the PP only I thought heck, I will share them with you too, so I started to jot them down but then I reconsidered because if you are anything like me (busy) you don’t have time to read a long newsletter.
So I created a video for you instead.
In it I talk about the power of gratitude, why you need it in your life, and I share four of my favourite gratitude practices.
Below is a shot of the cards I made for the PP group and each one contained a quote about gratitude.
The video is about 18 minutes long so you might want to listen to it while you are commuting, chopping veggies for dinner or putting on your make up in the morning as one Full Flight subscriber told me she does.
(Apologies for my giant face below-a weird tech glitch!!)

I will leave you today with this beautiful quote about gratitude from Melody Beattie (which I read in the video):
“Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life.
It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity.
It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend. It turns problems into gifts, failures into successes, the unexpected into perfect timing, and mistakes into important events.
It can turn an existence into a real life, and disconnected situations into important and beneficial lessons. Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today, and creates a vision for tomorrow.”
Thanks for allowing me space in your in-box and if you know someone who might enjoy this post please share.
Sharing is caring peeps!
