HAPPY THANKSGIVING, A pdf for your gathering

Posted on: November 24th, 2011 by ingrid No Comments

List your blessings and you will walk through the gates of thanksgiving and into the fields of joy.
~Garrison Keillor

as quoted in LIVING IN GRATITUDE, A Journey That Will Change Your Life, by Angeles Arrien

I’ve compiled a few inspiring words for Thanksgiving, as well as a few templates for gratitude lists or thank you notes in a pdf for you here. Feel free to print these out and share them if you are longing for a few ways to bring deeper meaning to your holy day.
ThanksGiving PDF

I give thanks for these hands,
how they touch, heal, create.
I give thanks for this heart,
for compassion, love and awe.
I give thanks for these legs
and all the places that they journey.
I give thanks for this body,
its miracle feelings and doings.
I give thanks for this mind
and all its splendid rooms…
I give thanks for the Joy
that sustains my every moment.
And I give thanks for the beauty
that surrounds me all my days.

~Ingrid Goff-Maidoff, from The Joy Book

BLESSINGS OF THE SEASON TO YOU!

 

 

 

 

A Gift For You- pdf poster of The Best Things in Life

Posted on: November 10th, 2011 by ingrid 4 Comments

I’m in the thick of it: HOLIDAY PRODUCTION – creating beauty; assembling books and gifts for galleries and the Artisan shows.  At night, if we watch television, my stomach turns to see that the advertising campaigns have already begun- for all kinds of products that have nothing to do with love and spirit.  Sometimes I begin to worry that I am participating in the crass commercialization of the holidays, and must remind myself over and again that my books and gifts reflect love, light, tenderness, joy- all things we wish for each other.

I once brainstormed a list of wonderful intangibles called The Best Things in Life Aren’t Things.  Today I created a pdf poster for the fridge, the bulletin board- a jumping off place for people to remember their own forgotten treasures.  May it provide some harmony and inspiration in the season to come.

The Joy Book, inviting you
