Gratefulness: A Gift for You and the World

“We see, every day, that living gratefully can bring about personal transformation and happiness, and we believe that when we collectively align our actions with the values of grateful living, together we can help bring forth…”

No matter your hopes, intentions, or revelations for this year ahead, we can all benefit from companionship, wise guidance, and some heartfelt cheer-leading each day as we navigate our commitments to greater personal and global well-being. This is where we come in…

“It is not happiness that makes us grateful, it is gratefulness that makes us happy,” says our founder Br. David Steindl-Rast, and there is increasing research and abundant experience which now reinforce this wisdom.

A Network for Grateful Living exists as a place to learn from one another about the many ways that we can practice being grateful for life, no matter our circumstances. We see, every day, that living gratefully can bring about personal transformation and happiness, and we believe that when we collectively align our actions with the values of grateful living, together we can help bring forth our vision of “a peaceful, thriving, and sustainable world – held as sacred by all.” We believe that gratefulness deepens love, engagement, and compassion, and that love can change our lives, and change our world in much-needed ways.
