It began in 2015 as a one-year experiment…

When I wondered,

“How would my life change if I wrote down what I was grateful for… every day… for a year… no matter what?”

Previously, I had explored gratitude journaling on and off.

[Alright, alright, admittedly more off than on.]

But I had just enough experience to know that when I practiced gratitude life seemed, well… easier. 

It took me nearly two decades to consider focusing on gratitude each and every day. 

No matter what.

Because what I learned is no matter what might hit the fan that day, there is ALWAYS something to be appreciated and when we circle back to refocus on gratitude and reconnect with wonder, we invite even more delicious circumstances into our lives!

The Grateful Jar practice changed my life far faster than I ever could have imagined and in ways I never could have dreamt:  my relationships deepened, my blood pressure lowered, and I stopped sweating the small stuff.  I fell in love with my life and began to thrive!

The actual notes from the first year of the practice became a best-selling memoir, and since then I have had the honour of guiding individuals around the globe in initiating and maintaining their own daily gratitude practice.  

And I am the Keeper of a Grateful Jar.

Every day, for the past seven years, I have written down what I am grateful for, folded up the note, and lovingly deposit it into my Grateful Jar.

Then, on Winter Solstice, the darkest day of the year, I empty the Jar, unfold and read all the notes, and bask in a year’s worth of gratitude.

That very same day, the annual cycle of gratitude starts all over again.
