Welcome back.

Today, I want to talk about something that sounds simple but can actually be really difficult: gratitude.

Because let’s be honest. You look around the world right now and it can feel overwhelming. Heavy. Sometimes it feels almost absurd to talk about gratitude when bad things are happening everywhere you look. The news cycle is relentless. Social media keeps us emotionally reactive. We’re constantly being pulled off center.

And when that happens, we’re not grounded. We’re not steady. We’re not making clear, informed decisions. We’re reacting. We’re tense. We’re off-kilter.

So today, I want to pause that.

I want to ask a different question: What is good? What do you already have that is good, solid, and working in your life? And how do we practice gratitude for that without pretending the hard stuff doesn’t exist?

You’re probably watching or listening to this on a phone or a computer. That alone is a blessing. You have access to information. You have the ability to communicate across the world. That’s not small.

Maybe you’re struggling financially, but you still have the ability to create income. Maybe your health isn’t perfect, but your body is carrying you through the day. Maybe things aren’t ideal—but they’re not nothing.

Today isn’t about toxic positivity. It’s not about pretending everything is fine. It’s about recalibrating. It’s about pulling your energy back into your center so you can respond to the world instead of just reacting to it.

And to do that, we’re going to try a simple ritual practice.

I call it sphere work.

You may have heard of circle work, gate work, cone work, sacred geometry—all of that. This is simpler. We’re going to call in the seven points of our sphere. We’re going to hold them. And we’re going to consciously practice gratitude.

This is high, hippy love energy. Fair warning.

But if you’re willing to lean in for a few minutes, I think it can help you feel steadier. Clearer. More grounded.

Let’s step into the cauldron and begin.
