Hello,
I hope you are enjoying these brisk fall days full of beauty and the promise of winter. With
thanksgiving a week away, I wanted to take the time thank you for your trust and confidence as we have worked together. Thank you for inviting me to accompany you on your journey of self-care.
Perhaps two of the most beneficial ways of facilitating personal growth is to look for the joy in every day, and to live each day with gratitude. I know that many people these days are dealing with painful and difficult situations. May I remind you that even during the hardest of days there are moments in which we can find joy. Leaves dancing in the sunlight as they fall to the ground, a raindrop clinging to a bare branch, a velvety night sky brilliant with shining stars, finding yourself in the embrace of someone you love even as your heart is breaking. There are moments of joy all around us, waiting to touch our hearts and bring us peace. Reach for the joy, capture these moments and give thanks. Take note each day of all that you have to be thankful for. I often ask clients to write down three things that they are grateful for every day. Despite the struggles you may be navigating in this time of your life, taking the time to appreciate what you do have to be thankful for will be a balm to your heart.
Peace,
Domenica
