			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: center;">My inspired friend Annie has launched a really cool project:</p>
<h5 style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.30daysofgratitude.org" target="_blank"><img id="profile_pic" class="aligncenter" src="http://profile.ak.fbcdn.net/object3/188/94/n279095370493_68.jpg" alt="30 Days of Gratitude" /><span style="color: #800080;">30daysofgratitude.org</span></a></h5>
<p style="text-align: left;">It&#8217;s so simple, yet so powerful.  Just challenge yourself to submit one daily gratitude through the month of November.  You&#8217;ll receive helpful reminder emails and be inspired by other folks&#8217; gratitudes along the way.  If it sounds like too much, you can choose &#8220;gratitude light&#8221; (weekly) or do it with a group.  You can even partner with a friend who might not be so internet-driven.  <strong>Just do it.</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Countless studies prove that the act of acknowledging our blessings and taking a moment to express gratitude can change lives.   Even if it doesn&#8217;t change our circumstance, it changes our outlook, and that makes all the difference.  I&#8217;ve picked up gratitude journals, began writing <a href="http://www.aholyexperience.com/2006/11/gift-list-thousand-things.html">1000 gifts</a> through Holy Experience&#8217;s beautiful <a href="http://www.aholyexperience.com/2003/06/gratitude-community.html">Gratitude Community</a>, and tried other methods.  They&#8217;ve been helpful but I must admit I fall out of habit pretty quickly.  I need to mix it up a bit sometimes. </p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Annie&#8217;s plan is brilliant.  It takes 30 days to develop a solid habit and this project fits that window perfectly.  And for me, the email reminders and internet format make it easy and convenient.  I&#8217;m excited to begin.  Again. </p>
<p style="text-align: left;">What about you?  C&#8217;mon, do it with me! </p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Join in&#8211;spread the word&#8211;tell some friends&#8211;post it on your blog.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Let&#8217;s turn this world around, one blessing at a time.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">If that&#8217;s not enough, just listen to Annie&#8217;s enthusiasm (be sure to watch Part 1 and Part 2):</p>
