Thank you, Fred--from me and from all the people who will benefit from this change in me. And who knows? I believe that the blessings will spread even further than that. You are making the world a better place!

Thank you Fred. Listening to the stories have had a positive effect on me - and have encouraged me to give gratitude journaling a go, again. I have also been inspired to write some gratitude letters after listening to the beneficial experiences of your students. 🌺

I both appreciate it and kind of got tired of the lightness and airiness of the course tone. I’ll just say that. Clearly it’s an important course.

So beautiful, and inspiring. Thank you so much for creating and sharing this course. Now, I have a few letters to go and write… ;)💕

I’ve had a mixed relationship with gratitude, thinking of it as a way to gloss over challenges and see everything as “just fine”. Even so I’ve been attempting to notice what I’m grateful for. Your course grounded and empowered my practice. The third session with its letters to those out of touch or passed was especially powerful. And you’re correct, for me it’s a way of opening up to, appreciating and releasing feelings. Thank you very much, Fred. This week I’ll be writing to a sister and my mother, both gone from this earth.

It's definitely worth taking this course just for the stories you share. For several years now, I've established the habit of sending thank-you notes to the people I love, for reasons both small and large. I think it's time to look more for gratitude in the little things that happen in everyday life. Thank you so much for reminding us of the power of gratitude.

I am stuck for words, I cried during your course, I will begin to use my words in a loving way and be free to express my thoughts. Thank you 🙏

Soothing. Just what I needed, and I plan to implement a gratitude practice after this. The letter writing sounds lovely as well. I’ve thought of doing this many times, and hearing people’s stories and experiences was inspiring. Thank you for your work.

Very inspiring 🙏 Blessings of gratitude🙏 I write in a journal every day and make sure I am grateful for three things, although I have never written a letter and gave it to anyone, but I am going to start writing letters to the most amazing people I know, and let them know how amazing they really are!🙏

I shed a few tears of joy and gratitude in a few of these lessons. This course enhanced my existing gratitude practice and added depth to it. Thank you for sharing all these letters and reflections on Insight Timer.
