Thank you Laura McKinnon from Drops of Gratitude and Francesca Berretti-Bullen from Outside the Shape for sharing your stories about building your unique businesses and overcoming uncertainty and fear to do it.
Gathered in the beautiful Outside the Shape shopping destination in Inglewood, we found inspiration and treasures curated by Francesca who features hundreds of local artisans, creators and makers. A cultivator of connection and community, Francesca also opens her space for creative workshops.
Sharing her gift for cultivating gratitude, Laura hosted our Drops of Gratitude workshop and helped us each create a unique bracelet made from energy-carrying gemstones and infused with essential oils. Focused on intention and intuition, and culminating in a gratitude meditation, it was a special experience with a take home reminder of a beautiful bracelet and soothing essential oils.
Gratitude wisdom (thank you Laura!):
- Embrace gratitude as a real space in your life that can accept both the bad and the good and turn frustration into fascination.
- Much more than just positive thinking, gratitude is an intention and an awareness that we are responsible for each thought we have and action we take.
- Asking yourself what you are grateful for as part of a daily ritual will open a wonderful awareness of the beauty in your life.
And above all, remember…
Your mere existence is a blessing in this world. – Drops of Gratitude
