See what other’s have to say about Lorraine’s workshops…

When I began my gratitude journal it was a struggle to even think about what I was grateful for. Was there anything I could be happy about? Was there anything good in my life? These were my normal negative thoughts, always thinking about how my life was the worst. I have now been taking Lorraine’s monthly gratitude classes for 4 months and I have been practicing gratitude by writing at least three things I’m grateful for daily. It really has changed my thoughts to being more positive. Thank you Lorraine for sharing all of your knowledge. I think more people need to take your class to see how practicing gratitude can change your life! –Janet, Mom and Teacher, Monthly Coaching Group Participant

Looking at Vitamin G (as you call it) most days for the last month allowed me to touch into  what I am, and what I need, as well as what I am grateful for. Having a veil of depression lifted up allowed me to clean up some of the gloom that had been generated. A sense of renewal is now present. 
–Bob, Gratitude to Bliss Workshop Participant

I started my gratitude journal and could not believe how many negative thoughts I was having on a daily basis. I have always had a desire to get rid of my anxiety and depression however I never knew how to do this – despite years of formal therapy. This journaling was significant for me because it showed me that I had all that I needed right before me. Everything else was just trivial stuff. My depression/fog has lifted and for the first time in many years I feel alive and with happy, positive energy.
–Jamie, Gratitude to Bliss Workshop Participant

Happy 10 Years To The Little Journal That Started It All! 

Ten years ago this month I did something that would change my life forever. I wrote, designed, and published a gratitude journal. 

I had been practicing gratitude for a little over a year and when my health coaching school created a contest to win a conference in Costa Rica, I knew I wanted to enter.  

So one snowy day in March 2011, I got together with one of my best health coach friends and we talked through our ideas for participating in a 60-Day Challenge through the Institute for Integrative Nutrition (IIN). The goal of the challenge was to create a program or project to help propel our business forward. One hundred lucky students and alumni would be invited to attend a special conference in Costa Rica. 

I had a number of ideas, most of which involved food, recipes, and meal plans, but when Joshua Rosenthal, the Founder of IIN, said we should think about what has helped up the most in our own healing journey, my gratitude practice quickly came to mind. Being a graphic designer with lots of publishing experience, I knew I had wanted to someday create a journal specifically for practicing gratitude. When I shared this idea with my friend, she said, “Do  THAT.” 

She said, “Your face lights up when you talk about it.”  

And so I did.  

My 60-day challenge was to inspire 100 people around the world to discover the healing power of gratitude. 

First, I created a Facebook group where I showed people how to keep a daily gratitude practice, and within one week I had over 100 participants. Soon there were participants from 15  countries in over six continents sharing what they were grateful for! 

Next, I interviewed people who shared their success as a way to inspire more people. 

I then began researching the health benefits of practicing gratitude and created a series of  “Vitamin G” inspiration calls and shared the recordings. 

I also began sharing my story.

Finally, I wrote, designed, and published, From Gratitude to Bliss: A Journey in Health and  Happiness. The original draft included inspiring quotes about gratitude from well-known people. As I looked over the printer’s proofs I realized that I should have written my own quotes. I stayed up until 4 am that night rewriting them, turning them into coaching tips that would guide users to get the most out of their practice. I believe this is what makes this journal so unique and powerful. It is written by a health coach (me). 

After submitting this video entry, I was chosen (along with my friend!) to attend IIN’s 2011  Costa Rica Conference:

At that conference, I met so many amazing health coaches including Annie Wagoner of Core Nourishment who I recently interviewed on Instagram and Lindsey Witmer Collins who is the  App Developer for the Gratitude To Bliss App! 

The following year, From Gratitude to Bliss received a gold award from Living Now Books, “Celebrating the innovation and creativity of newly published books that enhance the quality of our lives.”

I can’t believe this all happened 10 years ago. My life has never been the same and I am so unbelievably grateful.

My Gratitude Moment  

 

May is a very intense month for me.  

It is the month I became a Mom after eight years of trying.  

It is also the month my Mom passed away suddenly eleven years ago.  

And it is the month we celebrate Mother’s Day—a day that can feel heavy for those of us who have struggled through infertility or have lost a Mom. 

Each year in May, I am reminded that my most difficult experiences have also been my greatest teachers.  

Waiting eight years to become a Mom, and falling apart in the process, is what led me to discover the power a gratitude practice would have in my life. As painful as it was to go through, my struggle is one of the things I am most grateful for. 

Had I not been practicing gratitude daily at the time I lost my Mom, I know with absolute certainty that I would not have been able to accept her passing with the strength I felt at that time. Very shortly after the initial shock of losing her, I began feeling overwhelmingly grateful for the Mom I had, and for the years I had her.  

My gratitude practice somehow cushioned the blow of losing my Mom so tragically.  

It was in that moment that I realized the power gratitude was having in my life. Soon after, I decided to make gratitude the focus of my business as a health coach.  

I’ve never looked back. 

The decision to prioritize gratitude in my life has guided me to things I never thought were possible for me.  

A few years later I was blessed with the most amazing little baby boy and this month we celebrate his eighth birthday.  

My gratitude practice helps me focus on the joy of motherhood, and doing this makes me a better Mom.  

 

 

This year, for the month of May and beyond, I am kicking off something very special: The  Gratitude Moments Project. 

What I love about The Gratitude Moments Project is that it’s designed to help you notice all the different ways we experience gratitude in our lives.  

Sometimes we feel grateful for something wonderful. It could be something small, like a cool breeze on a hot day, or huge like the birth of a child. 

But gratitude happens in other ways too. It can sneak up on you when you least expect it, as was the case for me when my Mom passed. (Hint: The more you practice, the more this tends  to happen.)

Gratitude is also like a BFF – it’s the thing you reach for first when you start feeling things going south. Once you have a solid practice in place, your gratitude BFF is always there to help you turn things around.  

For this month and beyond, I invite you to share YOUR gratitude moments with me.  

  1. Follow me on Instagram 
  2. Share your gratitude moments and use #mygratitudemoment 
  3. Tag me @gratitudetobliss in your posts! 

If you’re not on Instagram, you can email your gratitude moment and we’ll post it for you if you wish. Include a photo if you like.  

If you need help getting started with your own gratitude practice, check out the newly refreshed Gratitude To Bliss App in the App Store (available on iTunes and GooglePlay). FREE for 14 days, the Gratitude To Bliss App gives you a full year of daily gratitude inspiration, coaching tips, and more. Share it with someone you love too! 

I can’t wait to see your “gratitude moments.” And I LOVE seeing the ripple effect of gratitude we are creating around the world.  

Remember, every day you practice gratitude takes you one step closer to living your bliss.  

Make it the most important five minutes of your day! 

With love, 

 

 

 

The Blessing of Being

Seven years ago today I became a Mom.

Although my journey to motherhood was not one I ever would have chosen, I can truly say I am grateful things turned out just the way they did.

It wasn’t always that way.

Being grateful is so hard to fathom when you’re going through a challenge.

It’s often only afterwards, when we look back and reflect on our experiences, that we realize how much our struggle helped pave the way for us to become what we needed to; much like a caterpillar struggles to emerge from a chrysalis as a beautiful, elegant, divinely perfect butterfly.

That’s not something you can ever help it do. In fact, if you were to help, the butterfly would die. The struggle IS the path. The path to growth and completion.

So while I’m not a big fan of struggling forever, I believe our struggles are what shape us and give our lives meaning.

Had I not struggled to become a Mom, I would not be the Mom I am today. I would not have the son I have today. I would not have the grace, humility and appreciation I have today.

So for today, I am going to bathe in gratitude, in celebration of my son, Milo.

Today, Milo, I am grateful for:

The sweet way you smile at me first thing in the morning. I am so lucky you are the first thing I see when I wake up.

The way you love to snuggle and be snuggled.

Your clever sense of humor.

The way the music you create on your piano makes my heart dance. It seems to flow out of you with perfect ease and joy. It surely lives inside you.

The creative way you invent and play games.

Your lightening speed when we ride bikes together. You are keeping me in shape.

The deep and special connection we have between us. It’s almost like you know what I’m thinking sometimes.

Your short temper, as it reminds me to be gentle with you.

You’re stubbornness. It reminds me you are your own person.

Your questions. May you always ask questions.

Your love of reading. It is a gift and a joy to share with you.

Your warrior personality and love of victory. May you always triumph.

Your ability to make friends. May you always be surrounded by people who love you.

Your ability to make people laugh. That is a gift to be cherished.

The amazing structures you build in our living room.

The way you just interrupted me to give me “one thousand, million kisses.”

The way you make me feel grateful, every single day, that I GET to be your Mom.

Thank you, Milo, one thousand, million times.

And thank YOU for reading.

I realize not all struggles have a happy ending. But I do believe gratitude can play a role in how we handle life’s big challenges. If we can find something in our experience to be grateful for, however tiny it may seem, it can make all the difference.
