Grati-Tools
My kids and I created these as part of an effort to make gratitude a daily practice during a period where we were, and are, spending a lot of time in hospitals, medical offices, and clinical trial settings.
One day - we want to see every family and kid receiving treatment from a children's hospital gifted a lagniappe of grati-tools- because gratitools have helped us embrace that space between what happens and how we react.
We have used gratitools as an approach for advocacy and to focus on wellness during periods of illness.

Wish tickets - write your wish for someone on the back and gift it to them
Gratitude improves health and well being. For our family "gratituding" is as important to our health as working out, playing, dancing, eating well, giggling, yoga/meditation, sleeping, and strong social connections.

Ways We Have Gotten Our Grati-Tool'ing On
Place an orb in a big jar of water with the intent of growing a gratitude and watch what happens over the course of a week!!!
Hearts away - easy peasy - leave paper hearts around to write your gratitudes on - BTW that is "passion" not "pissin'" - just sayin'
Grateful that we are nourished - we dine on-the-go a lot these medical center days - and these little talismans remind us to share our gratitude.
Shine on - to be used when that glimmer of hope that glitter of light is needed. Always grateful for glitter. My kids have planted glitter as seeds - that gave root to magical shiny trees....
Sometimes you need a lucky star to wish on - we carry them with us just in case the need arises
Write your gratitude and stick in this locket- where it with intent until it time to give it someone who needs it more
Grateful that we can always dream big and leave magic in our wake
