November Reflection
Deep, Expansive Gratitude
Ann Christensen
SDCO Guiding Circle Member
When I find myself giving thanks, especially around the holiday of Thanksgiving, I notice that often I am listing possessions or people that 1) I see or experience regularly in my life often enough that I may take them for granted, and that 2) make me dimly happy and content. Here is an example of the oft- recited Thanksgiving List: family, friends, a home, food on the table…. Maybe this looks familiar, even to the point of cliché. As wonderful, valued and needed as they are, sometimes recounting these gifts feels forced or superficial. (No wonder my daughters might shrug or be indifferent to my suggestion that we take time to name that for which we are grateful before Thanksgiving dinner.) While taking stock of what is at hand and appreciating the gifts in our lives is good, sometimes this traditional, obligatory exercise leaves me feeling flat. . [More]
What Does Spirituality Mean to Us?
Spirituality has to do with the spirit as in the essence of being human – your soul or your inner life. It is the quality of being concerned with the human spirit or soul as opposed to material or physical things. Spirituality can be about a journey of transforming our spiritual, psychological and somatic aspects of ourselves to become more our true selves, who are created in the image of God. Click Here

Finding a Spiritual Director
The Spiritual Director journeys with you as you deepen your relationship with God. The journey takes place in the context of a confidential session with your Spiritual Director. The person coming for Spiritual Direction is trying to be serious about some form of intentional prayer and reflection on God's presence in everyday life. The Director is a facilitator, with God, Spirit, or Higher Power being the true Director.
Spiritual Direction Colorado is pleased to provide a list of Spiritual Directors as a resource to people throughout the state of Colorado and beyond.
