This month, Katie revisits the Olympics, finding a different perspective in the races won and lost, recognizing a culture of kindness as the biggest win of all.

We all know that seeing is believing, but what about not seeing or un-seeing…how do we find miracles then?

Summertime is finally here, when spring has fulfilled its mission, butterflies fill fragrant gardens in full bloom, and we get to pass time in the warmth of the sun. This month Katie writes about how it is that time measures the moments of our lives. We hope you find yourselves enjoying all the wonder that summer has to offer.

Hope is in the air. According to Desmond Tutu, “Hope is being able to see that there is light despite all the darkness." May you too find the light in your life and remember there are always miracles. 

As spring gets underway we hope you are on the look out for the miracles that surround us all, especially at this time of year.  This month Katie writes about the importance of shifting our  focus towards goodness and grace in the midst of our chaotic world…

You have to treasure four-year-olds, they are old enough to speak, uninhibited enough to speak their mind, and wise enough to listen…Love is not only at the foundation of miracles, but is the language of the Divine.

Telling stories is at the core of true connection. It provides a view into how we make sense of the world by what we choose to talk about... The Miracle Collectors

Highlighting specific themes in the book as they relate to daily life, Katie writes about the importance of sharing and listening to the stories we tell as a way to deepen connection and find common ground with each other.

Like a kaleidoscope, ever changing and working in tandem with every turn, gratitude emerges as the touch point where awareness, connection, and meaning meet. The Miracle Collectors

Generosity of Spirit ignites an ever expanding virtuous circle…One of the many aspects of Generosity of Spirit is the notion of pay-it-forward, or in one recent case, pay-it-backwards…

Becoming aware involves not just noticing what is around us but being open to the possibility that there may be something more to see.

A story illustrating a common thread we heard in miracle stories. The Jeopardy answer: "YES, absolutely, it IS a miracle." The question: "What is a miracle when the miracle you ask for, isn't the miracle you get?"

When we practice empathy by volunteering or imagining someone else’s plight, when we draw on higher ideals – honesty, integrity, kindness, and love – miracles happen.

Forgiveness is the key to starting over. It begins to provide a path that guides us away from anger and devastation toward inner peace. The Miracle Collectors

Love is at the foundation of miracles because love, and the forgiveness it encompasses, is the language of the Divine.

We can walk through life by going through the motions, or we can be present and let our light shine…in showing up there are often extraordinary gifts to be found…in order to fully live our experiences, we have to show up, to be present in whatever form that takes, virtually or in-person.

Wonder and miracles are intertwined - you can’t have one without the other…Nowhere is there a better intersection of wonder and miracles than can be found in nature where experiences of wonder are available to everyone…

Some say that coincidences are God’s way of performing a miracle anonymously. Coincidences though, don't occur only in life or death situations that cause us to stop and take notice, they can also be much simpler and serve to remind us of our connection with the greater universe that lurks outside our door…

We love the notion of being the miracle for someone else. In the miracle business, we like to say that every one has a job, but only you know what that job is…

Courage assists us each day in the choices we make:

whether to show up or not, whether to speak out or not, whether to face reality or not.
