The Thanksgiving holiday is now upon us here in the United States. Feeling and expressing gratitude on the last Thursday of November is not reserved for those living in the States, and definitely should not be limited to this one day. Gratitude is a state of mind, and a way of being and living that should be practiced year round.

Gratitude is a self-fulfilling prophecy. Recognizing and expressing genuine appreciation for even the seemingly insignificant will yield more things to be grateful for on an even grander scale.

I, for one, am immensely grateful for this community and this platform, which has not only given me the opportunity to spread the the word of love and kindness, but has taught me the importance of following dreams. There is so much inspiration, kindness and wisdom in this world and I witness it everyday in the posts that come across my feed, and for that, I thank you.
