Thanksgiving Prayer ~ Janice Taylor, the voice of Our Lady of Weight Loss<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Give thanks for unknown blessings already on their way.\u00a0 ~ Native American Saying<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Greetings Tushkateers!!!<\/p>\n

I received a number of emails this week that basically asked:<\/p>\n

“How can I make it through Thanksgiving without gaining weight, falling off the wagon for good?\u00a0 How can I make it through without ‘playing the victim?\u00a0\u00a0 How can I make it through without driving myself nuts?”<\/em><\/p>\n

My answer is this: We manifest what we focus on.<\/strong><\/p>\n

When Mother Teresa was asked if she would participate in an anti-war rally, she declined.\u00a0 She was determined not to participate in anything that had to do with war, for or against – it was still about war.\u00a0\u00a0 She would, however, participate in a peace rally.<\/p>\n

Instead of focusing on ‘weight’ or ‘food’ or ‘family’ or ‘friends’ – the abundance or lack thereof – instead of ‘tuning into’ problems, let’s focus on giving thanks for the unknown blessings that are already on their way.<\/p>\n

Take in a deep breath and enjoy the expansive nature of ‘unknown blessings;’ the magical and mysterious nature of unknown blessings.<\/p>\n

Rather than going round the Thanksgiving dining table and asking each one to share what they are most thankful for; ask them to ‘give thanks for the unknown blessings that are already on their way.’<\/p>\n

Dwell in possibility.<\/strong>
\nPossibility is where what has not occurred in external reality may be thought of as occurring.\u00a0 It is mental space; it is spaciousness and expansive.\u00a0 Possibility is a place where you are open to experience. Possibility is poetic in nature, and it is infused with confidence and grace.<\/p>\n

It’s not about the food; it’s about your life!
\nExperience the richness of life.<\/p>\n

Wishing you a Thanksgiving overflowing with unexpected blessings!<\/p>\n

Spread the word \u2026 NOT the icing!
