Roving Pittsburgher Report
Celebration of Appreciation: A World Gratitude Day Event
September 22, 2012
The meditative music by Life in Balance had everyone
filled with gratitude that they came to the World Gratitude Day event this past
Saturday at First Unitarian Church which was a fundraiser for the Greater
Pittsburgh Literacy Council.
Steve and
Ami Scuilli (pronounce SHULEE) had the attendees mesmerized with the quartz
crystal bowl vibrations and native flutes. The heartfelt music accompanied readings, meditations and audience
sharing about gratitude.
Betty Duquesnoy shared a reading by researcher Robert
Emmons that showed that the practice of keeping a gratitude journal increased
happiness by 25%. Singer Burton Roberts
shared a moving rendition of What a Wonderful World made so popular by Louis
Armstrong. Then we were treated to
selections of poetry that related to gratitude by poet, Christine Doriean
Michaels which highlighted a moving poem by accomplished local poet, Joan
Bauer.
In addition to a unique mix of artistic offerings, the
audience was engaged in the gratitude process through reflective writing
exercises on “Gratitude in the Here and Now” and “Gratitude for People Who
Impacted Us.” One of the most moving
parts of the event was when attendees shared their stories about individuals
who affected their lives, especially a story about how a homeless woman with a
generous heart gave more to the giver than she received.
Greater Pittsburgh Literacy Council students, Helen Finch
and Tishawn Dent, spoke from their hearts about how grateful they are to the
Literacy Council which greatly impacted their lives.
Following the program, we all enjoyed a bountiful reception,
Thank-You-Note-athon and a lively international music by Life in Balance. One of the most popular activities was the
“Make Your Own” thank you notes table with supplies generously donated by Stamp
Fanci in the North Hills. And everyone
enjoyed the Smiley Cookies donated by Eat ‘n Park as they wrote notes that will
surely bring smiles to the lucky recipients. Watch for the entire review at www.rovingpittsburgher.com
The event was hosted by Litzinger Career Consulting and
sponsored by Journeys of Life and Postively Pittsburgh Live. Karen Litzinger is celebrating 10 years in business as
owner of Litzinger Career Consulting in Regent Square. She provides career counseling and job search
coaching for people of all ages from high school students through
retirees. Companies hire her for
outplacement services and business etiquette training.
