Colors of Gratitude\u2019s been the fertile soil of my ever-evolving work and I invite you to explore it. A cosmopolitan and writer at heart, I love to travel and feel the textures of the world on my skin. I hold a PhD in American Studies and currently live in the Big Jolly Apple. And I make supreme <a href=\"http:\/\/www.colorsofgratitude.com\/gratitude-food-my-famous-superfood-hot-chocolate\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\" decorated-link\" rel=\"nofollow\">superfood hot chocolate<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m devoted to the earth, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.colorsofgratitude.com\/impact\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\" decorated-link\" rel=\"nofollow\">animals<\/a>, kindness and courage. I love organic food and dream of a biodynamic garden. I adore honest humans. Nature is my church, my body is my temple, gratitude my foundation.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>So what can you expect from Luminous Living? I\u2019m thrilled to have the opportunity to enrich Patheos\u2019 wellbeing offerings by digging deep and wide into health and mindfulness, and to connect the fibers of our being with the field of the divine. You cannot thrive fully if you aren\u2019t plugged into source, whatever frame of reference that constitutes for you. We\u2019ll be talking angels and energy medicine, superfoods and Gratitude Food, divinity and daily tasks (and how they\u2019re related), and, most of all, how we can ground our lives in heavenly luminosity.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m very much looking forward to our radiant ride!<\/p>\n<p>Much love,<\/p>\n<p>Miriam<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>P.S.: Come say hi on social!
