We all know that an attitude of gratitude helps each day be a little better. When times are difficult and challenges abound, having a thankful heart is the catalyst for the abundant life. The Thankful Heart, by well known family authors Richard and Linda Eyre, is a book to keep or a book to give, filled with messages of gratitude and inspiring images for even the most difficult day. In this beautifully illustrated book, we find the opportunity to consciously and deliberately develop our own skill to feel gratitude more deeply, and give it more freely. And we are challenged to turn the passive holiday noun “Thanksgiving” into the active, year-long verb “Thanks-Giving.” New York Times #1 bestselling authors Richard and Linda Eyre like to think of each November-December Holiday Season as another chapter in their exploration of Thanks-Giving. Early in their marriage, tired of the commercialism and conformity of Christmas cards, they began sending out a Thanksgiving Poem each year to friends and family. As the years rolled by, their life was increasingly defined by those three words—Family, Friends, and Thanks-giving. Through their poetry and the photos taken by family members, we go with the Eyres on their journey through various phases and perspectives of the transforming emotion of gratitude, and in the book’s final section, they share each of their Thanksgiving cards from the last forty-three years.

YOUR GRATEFUL HEART IS A MAGNET TO ATTRACT EVERYTHING YOU DESIRE is a 100-day Gratitude Journal designed to help you cultivate happiness, encourage inner positivity, and keep you focused on the blessings of life. ● BOOST YOUR HAPPINESS: gratitude can literally transform your life. Life is all about focus and perspective. When you start focusing on what's going right in your life, the opportunities, you will be consciously raising your life's energy and vibration. ● CREATE POSITIVE MANIFESTATIONS IN YOUR LIFE: When you start writing down the good things in your life, negativity will no longer take the power from you. When you consciously write what you are grateful for, you take control over what you decide to give energy to. ● PROCESS YOUR EMOTIONS IN A HEALTHY WAY: Whatever is going on in your life, realizing that your "glass is half full" (rather than feeling that it's half empty) will equip you to go through negative life events in a more resilient way. WHAT'S INSIDE THE JOURNAL? ● MORNING GRATITUDE NOTES: Start your day in a positive state of mind. You will feel happier and more focused for the rest of the day. ● EVENING GRATITUDE NOTES: Finish your day with a grateful heart and a peaceful mind. Focus on the positive things that happened that day. ● AFFIRMATION OF THE DAY: This affirmation, or positive statement, will help you reinforce your positive beliefs and challenge your negative thoughts. These simple phrases will help you 'rewire' your brain, and 'plant' positive seeds in your subconscious mind. Read them, meditate on them, and visualize what it means in your own personal experience. ● 10-DAY REFLECTION: Every 10 days you'll do a check up on your feelings, the ups and the lows. This will have huge benefits for increasing your self-awareness. ● THE PURPOSE OF THIS JOURNAL is to make gratitude part of your life and your routine. You'll be re-programming your mind with positive thoughts. ● EMBRACING THE HABIT OF GRATITUDE will not only change your life, spiritually, emotionally and physically but it will also give you an amazing new outlook on your life.

Mealtime is a moment to give thanks—a collection of 365 blessings that “traverses all spiritual traditions.”—Library Journal Today there is a deep hunger for connection with ourselves, with nature, and with others, says life coach and New York Times-bestselling author of Attitudes of Gratitude M. J. Ryan. What A Grateful Heart offers, from a wide variety of spiritual disciplines and secular perspectives, is a way of satisfying that hunger by setting aside time before we eat to acknowledge the blessings in our lives. When we give thanks, we take our place in the great wheel of life, recognizing our connection to one another and to all of creation. Reclaim and enrich the tradition of pausing before the evening meal to give thanks. Drawing from a range of religious and cultural practices, the 365 blessings in this book celebrate friendship, love, peace, reconciliation, the body, nature, joy, and appreciation of the moment. This illustrated feast for the mind includes quotations from Martin Luther King Jr., Thich Nhat Hanh, Gandhi, Rumi, Mother Teresa, Helen Keller, Denise Levertov, the Bible, and the Tao Te Ching, among many others. M.J. Ryan wrote A Grateful Heart to encourage families to share the experience of being part of something greater than themselves. With that in mind, the book includes 365 traditional and nontraditional blessings organized into four sections corresponding to the seasons.
