I know Oprah talked about the Secret recently has always talked about having a gratitude journal. I suck at journaling. I could never stick to it. But I have found something simple to help me remember to be grateful. It’s called a gratitude rock.

In January I attended Marica Weider’s Dream Coach program and one of the things she gave us was our own gratitude rock. If you have watched the Secret, they talk about a gratitude rock.

Here’s the story.
A man in the US had a visitor from Africa, his son was very sick. He gave the man a special gift called a gratitude rock and told him to everyday hold onto the rock and think about all he has to be grateful for. And within a few weeks, an amazing thing happened. The man’s son got better!

Now this African man lived in a very poor village. And when he told of the miracles that happened because of his gratitude rock and by taking time to be grateful everyday, the whole village went to find their own gratitude rocks. They started a gratitude rock business and now the whole town is doing well financially. All of this change happened because of a positive change in focus. Instead of looking at their problems, they focused on what they had. And that alone started transforming their whole life.

I believe that we get more of what we focus on in life. I am living proof that the power of gratitude works. My husband lost his job a week ago and because we focused on our blessings and were positive, not only does he already have a new job, but it’s for more money than he was making before.

I don’t know what your beliefs are, whether you pray to Buddha, God, the Universe etc, but if you change your mindset to focus on being thankful for what you have, the Law of Attraction helps you attract more abundance in your life.

To me, it’s like when you give your kid a new toy and they are so grateful. If your child has that great attitude, appreciates the gift, and takes care of it, doesn’t it makes you want to give them more? Well, I see God (or the Universe) as equally abundant. When we are grateful for what we have, take care of it, use our resources wisely, we are given more.

Will you join me in 30 days of gratitude? I’m going be grateful every morning for 30 days. Let’s all do it together and see what kind of transformation comes in our lives.

Who’s with me? Also, if you have a story about the power of gratitude, prayer, or the power of positive thinking has changed your life, I’d love to hear it.

I wish you many, many blessings. I am truly thankful to all of you. You are a blessing to me.
