Super-Gratitude
Gratitude is an energy—a vibration. And a high vibration at that. Cultivate gratitude in your life and you will transform and find joy and inner peace.
When I teach class, I frequently teach the pose “parsvotonasana,” also called “gratitude pose,” and ask students while they are bowing forward to “bow to someone or something in your life that you have to feel grateful for.”
The energy in the room immediately shifts—every single time.
So take some time as you read this to find gratitude for someone or something in your life that you have to feel grateful for. And if you’d like, contriubute to our gratitude list below. As a good friend and instructor at Prana said to me when he suggested this destination on Super-mom.com: “What a beautiful thing not only to be grateful for what we have, but to see the abundance in other’s lives.”
Whatever we write down becomes more powerful than the thought or the spoken word, so by writing down what you are grateful for either on Super-mom.com or on a pad of paper, your computer, or wherever, you are increasing the intensity of that gratitude—the power of that beautiful energy. And as always, we attract the energy that we put out.
Have the best day ever!!
Namaste!!
Super-mom Taylor
I find gratitude in every moment, and so can you!

What a powerful thing the written word can be for us. When we take the time to say “thank you” or “I am grateful for…” our lives suddenly become centered, if only for a moment. And often times it is in those moments when we can touch someone else. So while I try to write in my journal those things for which I am grateful for, I try to remember at least once a day to let someone else know either by email, a card, or simply a heartfelt verbal “thank you” that I am grateful to/for them.
And so Taylor I say to you: Thank you for your spirit and energy in making this such a welcoming website. A place for super-moms to share without fear and to listen without judgement.

Great site, wise and inspiring words.
Gratitude is so important especially at times like these when so many are struggling. I am thankful I have what is really important to me……I am so very thankful for my husband, my children and my friends. I am thankful for my home and for the fact I have the means to not only feed my family each day but I can feed them healthful foods. I am thankful for my health and my families health and despite my aches and pains my body still allows me to do amazing things.
I am thankful for my loving parents who have both passed on. Life is good.

Life IS good.
If we are mindful about where we focus our attention, and take time to find gratitude for our many, many blessings.
Namaste!!

Hi Maria,
Thank you for the beautiful words.
I too am grateful for all of the Super-people out there from all over the world who read Super-mom.com (about 400 a day), and are getting support and inspiration.
This was my intention for this Site/Community.
And when our Prana Raw Cafe’ opens in early summer 3 doors down from Prana Newton (292 Centre Street, Newton Corner), local Super-people and Prana Power Yoga students will have an actual physical space to hang out in–building more of a sense of community, support, and fun–and eat some amazing healthy and delicious food at the same time.
Namaste!!

I have to say that I am grateful to all of the people who help to keep our world safe:
*the list is so long but a few that come to mind are:
Our Police men and women
Our Fire women and men
Paramedics and EMT’s
Those awesome Dr.’s who listen and there for catch stuff that saves people’s lives.
The nurses who care for people when they are at their weakest.
* So many of my friends and loved ones are in these very professions and I am so thankful and grateful that they are!!!!

I have to agree that gratitude does lead to joy and inner peace. Being grateful for the sun in the sky, the leaves, the budding of the flowers, the clouds that bring refreshing rain, the rivers and streams that bring that water to a parched and seemingly lifeless world to reawaken it. Gratitude is often like that water. We can sometimes feel parched or dried up and gratitude for all that we have and have been given can refresh us and restore our inner peace, and bring back fullness of joy.
My life is full of gratitude, and consiquently full of joy! For my loving husband, (who, by the way is an incredible dad) and my four precious children whom I’ve been given to love, teach, cherish, and enjoy with all my heart. As you said, in another entry, they are the little lights that we send out to brighten our world. What greater joy is there than being a mom! What greater blessing to be bestowed upon us. Let us indulge in it!
Since we met you in Florida last week, I found myself grateful for you, Taylor, Phillipe, and your precious children. What a joy to see such love for your children, caring for their every need and sharing the joys of life with them. Feeding them right, teaching them right. Your love for them was as boundless as your joyful spirit. Kudos to you and to this website. Being a mom is an incredibly high calling – one with the richest rewards. And one to be exceedingly grateful for.
How wonderful that you share your joy and love and gratitude with so many. Press on, my dear new friend, and may we all encourage super mom’s everywhere!!!
WBS!

Dear Super-mom Lawrie,
Since meeting you serendipitously and not at all coincidentally
on the beach last week in Florida, I have told a few dear friends how after I let go of the feelings of betrayal I had harbored for too many years regarding two people I had thought were my “friends,” (you can read about this in THE BETRAYAL from last week), I realized that the betrayal I had felt was actually a betrayal of myself–of forgetting who I am and was…and in letting go of the toxins of those feelings, I opened myself to all of the beautiful things the Universe has in store for me (and everyone)…and then I met YOU! Undoubtedly, my soul-mate friend and friend for a lifetime. Only when letting go of the past, was I able to be fully present in the NOW and let such joy and love and such a wonderful person and friend into my life.
And for this, and many, many other things, I am eternally GRATEFUL.
Thank you, Lawrie, for introducing us to the world of home schooling (we are totally committed for September 2009 and onward!) and for opening your heart to my family and me.
We have talked about you frequently and lovingly since we left Florida.
I taught last weekend at David Wolfe’s Superhero Seminar in York, Maine, and have been having some re-entry issues ever since (LOL) and also some catching up issues on the computer and so on, so sorry to just be connecting now.
Sending tons of love and light your way.
See you in August at the Raw Spirit Festival I hope!
Please give my love to the whole Super-family.
xoxoxo and Namaste!

Hi Taylor,
Thank you for the quote today!!
“Whatever course you decide upon, there is always someone to tell you that you are wrong. There are always difficulties arising which tempt you to believe that your critics are right. To map out a course of action and follow it to an end requires courage.” – Ralph Waldo Emerson
I recently gave my notice to the company I work for and ever since then some co-workers have been trying to convince me to stay. They keep telling me that I am making a huge mistake if I leave.
I went to super-mom.com for guidance… and the quote was EXACTLY what I needed as a reminder that I need to follow my heart and continue on this path. I need to do what makes me happy and not listen to the critics.
I read super-mom.com every day…but today I needed to send you a personal thank you.
Namaste! xoxo

Rock on May!
Listen to your heart and you’ll always be on the right track.
People mean well, but only you know what your Spirit truly wants.
I’m so glad that Super-mom.com was helpful.
Stay on the path and
have the best day ever!
Namaste!

Opening to gratitude spilled into a cellular knowing of the blessing of humility. Discovering a glimmer of what humility may really be about created a natural movement into a deep and joyful prayer state. Joy opened into ecstasy and my heart flew out of my chest.
All this my friends, with my life as I once knew it to be disintegrating completely.
Broken. Broken open.
Amen

Taylor,
I took your class today, and I spoke to you after about your beautiful story about your baby boy. Again, I want to say that I have so much gratitude for your words today…especially as someone who is trying to have a baby and wanting that baby now. Your guidance reminded me to trust in God’s plan and timing. Thank you for making my day.
Namaste,
Jen

Super-mom to be Jen,
This brought tears to my eyes.
And I loved every minute of teaching my class today and telling you all my twin babies’ inspirational story of hope and faith, and talking to you after class.
All the best ever!
I am so excited to meet your little baby!
At the perfect time.
Keep in touch, keep breathing, keep believing, and keep coming to my Sunday 11am because you light the place up!
Thank YOU for making my day and night.
Remember, visualize, visualize, visualize and WRITE IT DOWN. Exactly what you want.
Then LET GO.
Namaste!
Taylor plus 5
