Every Day (I Thank You) - Renato Wakim
- Tales of Appreciation for Hands, Hearts and Minds
EVERY DAY (I THANK YOU) is about gathering thoughts and considerations of gratitude along with short stories of individuals and groups-past and present, from all over the place-making their mark on this world. It is an attempt to encapsulate a holistic approach to engagement, learning, and change, a concept suggesting that for any initiative or effort to be truly effective and transformative, it requires us to pitch in not just intellectually, but emotionally and practically as well. Tales of Appreciation, as the subtitle communicates, for Hands, Hearts and Minds. And, most importantly, appreciative to those that are behold as being agents of change. Good change. Sometimes known individuals, sometimes not well-known, other times anonymous to the public. But all of them are beyond the concept of relevance. GRATITUDE, the sheer theme of this book, is the return to the origin. It calls us to remember where we come from, to recognize the forces that sustain us, and to acknowledge our place within the broader network of life. It becomes a transformative force, guiding us back to our most fundamental connections with ourselves, each other, and the universe at large. GRATITUDE closes the loop in the cycle of giving and receiving, creating a continuous flow that strengthens relationships, builds communities, and fosters a sense of belonging and unity.
