“Tis the month for gratitude. As we prepare for my favorite holiday I offer two specific ways to ready ourselves, spiritually and physically for the celebration.

Get your mind, heart, and soul ready for the Thanksgiving holiday by using my Stream of Gratitude Prayer.

I offer an easy quick–fire prayer to keep you in the present moment offering thanks with an abundant heart.  No memorization.  This is nothing fancy, merely a stream of thankful consciousness.

With the pressures of time and duty upon you, My Stream of Gratitude Prayer can provide a vehicle moving you from your agitated state of “stress” to a state of gratitude, acceptance and peace. Shift into your patient gear using this steam of consciousness.

Just let your mind wander praying in gratitude and blessings for whatever or whoever pops into your head that may influence the situation.  Example: 1) Driving in your car: Bless all the cars on the road, the people in them, their families, and for their safe arrival. 2) In the grocery line: Offer a prayer of thanks for the grocery checkers, the employees stocking the shelves, the delivery drivers, fellow shoppers, and thanksgiving for the food we eat to nourish us.

The Stream of Gratitude Prayer works anywhere, anytime and transfers you any time and any where into a state of Thanksgiving.

And while you are at the grocery store you can buy the ingredients for Sister Mary Vodka’s Pumpkin Pie Martini.
