As I spent time on the Yoga mat this morning with my teacher, LaMor Silas, she stressed the importance of focusing on gratitude. She spoke in quiet tones about finding contentment with a beautiful, blissful heart, and to zero in on all that I should be grateful for – health, family, career, love, friendship. She guided me to carry this intention into the day, and keep these thoughts front and center.
