Wednesday Wisdom- Thanksgiving is 6 months from tomorrow. I don’t tell you this to take you out of the present and into the future holiday season. Rather, I use this halfway mark between our last and next Thanksgiving as a reminder to return to the practice of gratitude. Gratitude is not just for the 3rd week in November, it is a 365-24/7 practice. When we view life through the lens of gratitude, we find joy for the big & small, the obvious & the not so obvious. Gratitude changes everything. It flips all in the direction of positivity & light. It can turn the dishes & the laundry into reminders to be thankful for nourishment & warmth, it can turn your lunchtime salad into a feast, it can turn your small space into a home, it can turn a stranger into a friend, it can turn enough into abundance. So we are 6 months from sitting at a table and giving thanks, but you can start doing that now in all areas of life. Move into gratitude and move into the light. •

In this article, I discuss how travel can be a powerful avenue to becoming more present and to discover much about the world and ourselves.
And yes, the guy in the photo in Barcelona is me!

Cauliflower steak with vegan kale & cashew pesto, roasted asparagus, tomatoes, & sweet potatoes. Always good to be back on the veg after a cheese, carb, drank filled holiday.
