Today on Feminine Roadmap, guest Karena Kilcoyne inspires listeners to find their silver lining through the practice of gratitude and honoring the journey they are on. Developing the habit of practicing gratitude and looking for the silver lining can help us understand ourselves and help us to take responsibility for our own happiness. Karena encourages us to give ourselves permission to feel our feelings whatever they are at the moment – both positive and negative- and honor them by holding a space for them, seeking the hidden gifts that they bring. She believes that every emotion that shows up is for you, for a purpose and by valuing them as they are is the key to finding that deep sense of gratitude and being able to identify the silver linings in our everyday lives. This sacred journey we call life is a gift with many silver linings to be found and treasured. We invite you to join us with a cuppa something wonderful, a dear friend and an open heart to find your own silver linings in this adventure we call life. http://www.feminineroadmap.com/episode167/
