Today we’re putting out a co-creation invitation, asking you to share with us:

What tools do you use to enter center and leverage the power of Gratitude? What practices, activities and disciplines inspire you to live a grateful life?

Why are we putting out this call?  Why now?  Read on and you’ll see …

Over the past 6 months, Go Gratitude has been working with Sustainable Futures, a service organization in Boise, ID, that is embarking on an innovative  green jobs training program for prison inmates, offering exposure to, and training in,  the emerging green jobs economy.

Guided by James O’Dea, former president of the Institute of Noetic Sciences, and Van Jones’ Green for All initiative, Sustainable Futures offers a unqiue and powerfully transformative addition to standard jobs training programs, by including tools for making ‘change from the inside out’.  This is full spectrum life re-design, folks! (For more info on Sustainble Futures, click here to read a recent press release)

Since Gratitude is the Master Key, opening all doors of possibility, Sustainable Futures  approached us with an invitation to bring our widely-appreciated, life enhancing ‘42 knew views’ series into the program.  The women currently participating in the flagship program begin each session by reading one of our messages — wisdom snacks we like to call them! — and then enjoy space for reflection, connection and immersion into the energy of Gratitude.

Tremendous healing, self-empowerment, and positive changes are manifesting as we speak.  Through the power of Gratitude, choices made in ignorance are being transmuted — forgiveness, of both self and others, is freeing these brave women to go forward and claim their birth right to thrive and co-create an inspired Life.

This is where you come in, and where our efforts over the past few years to Master the art of living in Gratitude will be put into service.  You see, these women have come to us asking for a deeper, more intimate experience and awareness of Gratitude — how to LIVE it.

‘Give us the tools to remember how to Live in a state of Gratitude!’

We were inspired by the idea, and whole-heartedly agreed, because we have received the same requests from many, many participants in the Experiment, too.

Launching into the process, it became abundantly clear this is a community project, an Invitation for Co-creation.  Just imagine the full-spectrum range of activities, practices, tools and ideas that exist in our *World Wide family of Gratitude!* Let’s make this happen together!

We’re inviting you to share your favorite (or two!) method of centering and tapping in to the power of Gratitude.

Post it here on the blog.  Be free with your wisdom.   Be wild, creative, and make no mistake about it — every one has something to share!  Together we will co-create a profound opportunity for making change from the inside out, birthing a curriculum that will be used as a template for this program, and eventually brought into correctional facilities nationwide.

This is truly a win-win opportunity — Everyone benefits.  We make a positive difference in the world, and hey!  the side effects feel Great(full)!

Feel free to pass this invitation on.  Blog it!  Twitter it.  Digg it. Email it … write it on the bathroom wall (just kidding!)  Shout it out to all — We are gathering the Masters of Gratitude and this is *your* call to come and play!

So, to all you teachers, mothers and fathers, artists, life coaches, workshop facilitators, weavers, yoga instructors, peace officers, marketers, motivational speakers, writers , bloggers, economists and sky-divers — you get the jist — Open your hearts and shine some light on your wisdom tools. Gratitude is a Universal-Yet-Personal tool that everyone can use.
