SAN MIGUEL
Gratitude in the Heart of Mexico by Trenia Logan facebook. com / lifegridsanmigueldeallende
Over the last couple of months, I have been privileged to get to know many heart-centered business owners in San Miguel de Allende thanks to my participation in LifeGrid Media. These people are as amazing as the city and services they provide. They are kind, humble, intelligent, creative and gracious beyond measure. They have become my friends before I even arrive in San Miguel de Allende. My circle is growing. Collectively our spheres of influence are spreading love, joy and collaboration throughout this world that at times can seem incredibly broken. For this and so much more, I am grateful.
Instead of putting the sentiments of my friends into my own words for this month’ s editorial, I felt it was best to give some direct quotes and paraphrases from a group conversation that we had in regards to gratitude in San Miguel de Allende. Erika, owner of Corazón Libre, a holistic & metaphysical shop in San Miguel, said the following,“ Gratitude brings multiple blessings; gratitude is linked directly to humanity. To be thankful inspires others and this reciprocity forms a cycle of good-will among others. Gratitude is usually felt when one recognizes the good in another. Gratitude is a sensation of satisfaction and recognition of all that one receives. It’ s expressed in many ways – a word, a hug, a note, a gift, a smile. To make someone smile in the Zen world, is a great gift from the heart full of compassion.”

My long-time friend Luigi said simply yet profoundly,“ Gratitude is a question of education and humility toward others!” Leticia, Spanish teacher, said,“ Gratitude is very important in our daily lives. It forms part of our being. Without gratitude, we do not appreciate the value of each individual and each detail of our lives.” The world needs gratitude today maybe more than ever.
