The recent terrorist attack on Paris has left us deeply shaken, grief-sticken, and afraid. At the Joan Kenley Show, we wish to extend our heart-felt prayers to the survivors and families of the Paris terrorism attack - and all terrorism attacks, everywhere. And while we cannot be grateful for the terrible things that happen in life, we can - through the practice of gratitude and gratefulness – connect with the transformative power of gratefulness to give us strength and hope. It’s the season to increase our heartful awareness and generosity. If you decide to feel, act, and communicate more gratefully - the effect may surprise you! And loving words can work miracles. You’ll hear about:

* the important work of A Network for Grateful Living (ANG*L)
* recognizing the gifts of everyday life
* how to cultivate daily gratefulness, acts of kindness, and sustainable activism
* music and poetry's positive influence on growing your "attitude of gratitude"
* some of the best online resources with practices and tools for grateful living
* the many offerings on www.gratefulness.org - (61/2 million visitors last year!)
