Gratitude is a tool that we can use to light our path. It can illuminate the glimmer of the things we may take for granted in our day-to-day activities. From the heights of our joys and celebrations, it is a beacon of goodwill that feeds the energy of life. Let’s gather together to celebrate the light of our spiritual community.
