Hello and welcome to the Gratitude Breakfast Club,

A quick morning meetup to help you jumpstart or maintain your gratitude practice.

We'll make it quick because we know you have things to do on this beautiful day.

Good morning beautiful ones and welcome back to the Gratitude Breakfast Club.

Did you do something spontaneous yesterday?

I hope you did and that it was a delight for you.

Now you may have noticed that every morning I greet you as beautiful ones and I do that because you really are beautiful to me.

I so appreciate all of us working together to be our best selves and to create more positive energy for the world and for the people whose lives we touch.

The ripple effects are amazing.

I appreciate that I get to share the Gratitude Breakfast Club with you and that so many people around me responded so lovingly and supportively when I shared the idea.

I appreciate that right now my idea of beauty,

Rather than being a judgment about physical attributes,

Stems from my appreciation as my needs for contribution,

Kindness,

And caring are met.

All this to say,

Beauty shows up in many different ways in the world.

If you're someone who follows the Oscars,

The Emmys,

The Grammys,

And even the Super Bowl,

You know we're celebrating many of the artists and athletes who have dedicated their lives to creating beauty in the world.

And I do find athletic prowess beautiful,

Even though I'm not a football fan.

So whether it's music,

Painting,

Photography,

Cinematography,

Makeup artistry,

Dance,

A sunset,

The fractal beauty of a snowflake,

The immense power of the ocean battering the shore,

The delicate chub of a toddler's hands,

Beauty is something easy to appreciate and celebrate.

So let's take a moment to celebrate.

Who or what do you find beautiful?

And why?

What do you appreciate about the people and things that bring beauty to your world?

Please enjoy thinking about that today.

With love,

Appreciation,

And gratitude,

This is Karen.
