Gratitude is an Action Word, "Show it, don't Say it"

My friend Joshua sent me $20 to SHOW his GRATITUDE for something that I had done.  It was my second nature to do what I did, so there were not expectations for payment.  I wanted to help him get a bigger stage for his message of positivity.

I declined his electronic payment.

He shared with me that it was important to him that I accept his gesture graciously.  This would allow the continuum to prosper.  By not accepting it, it would slow his enthusiasm toward my gesture.   I finally accepted.

When the universe gives, it is ok to receive.  

On a recent webinar, we also shared our thoughts about HOW WE CAN SHOW GRATITUDE, NOT JUST SAY IT.
