Forest of Gratitude 

Beki Fraser 

2018 Board President 

 

Now is the time when we think about gratitude. As Thanksgiving approaches, we often think about those things that are important to us and all we are grateful to have. This poem struck me as I was reading through it and I wanted to share my gratitude with you. I hope you enjoy the sentiments as much as I did.

Thank you for all you have done to contribute to develop your coaching expertise and the benefits of our coaching community. We absolutely appreciate your membership and your presence.


Forest of Gratitude
In the shadow of the tree
of endless grace and amazing mercy,
lies a magic acorn filled with gratitude,
spouting fast into a giant oak of awe,
exploding into a forest of kindness,
filled with wonderful paths colored with love.
Let us all get lost in this forest of gratitude,
leaving behind and never return
to the barren cities of greed.
            -by Aufie Zophy


Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours, 

 

Beki Fraser
2018 ICF Michigan President
