Telling stories is at the core of true connection. It provides a view into how we make sense of the world by what we choose to talk about... The Miracle Collectors

Highlighting specific themes in the book as they relate to daily life, Katie writes about the importance of sharing and listening to the stories we tell as a way to deepen connection and find common ground with each other.

Like a kaleidoscope, ever changing and working in tandem with every turn, gratitude emerges as the touch point where awareness, connection, and meaning meet. The Miracle Collectors

Generosity of Spirit ignites an ever expanding virtuous circle…One of the many aspects of Generosity of Spirit is the notion of pay-it-forward, or in one recent case, pay-it-backwards…

Becoming aware involves not just noticing what is around us but being open to the possibility that there may be something more to see.

A story illustrating a common thread we heard in miracle stories. The Jeopardy answer: "YES, absolutely, it IS a miracle." The question: "What is a miracle when the miracle you ask for, isn't the miracle you get?"

When we practice empathy by volunteering or imagining someone else’s plight, when we draw on higher ideals – honesty, integrity, kindness, and love – miracles happen.

Forgiveness is the key to starting over. It begins to provide a path that guides us away from anger and devastation toward inner peace. The Miracle Collectors

Love is at the foundation of miracles because love, and the forgiveness it encompasses, is the language of the Divine.

We can walk through life by going through the motions, or we can be present and let our light shine…in showing up there are often extraordinary gifts to be found…in order to fully live our experiences, we have to show up, to be present in whatever form that takes, virtually or in-person.

Wonder and miracles are intertwined - you can’t have one without the other…Nowhere is there a better intersection of wonder and miracles than can be found in nature where experiences of wonder are available to everyone…

Some say that coincidences are God’s way of performing a miracle anonymously. Coincidences though, don't occur only in life or death situations that cause us to stop and take notice, they can also be much simpler and serve to remind us of our connection with the greater universe that lurks outside our door…

We love the notion of being the miracle for someone else. In the miracle business, we like to say that every one has a job, but only you know what that job is…

Courage assists us each day in the choices we make:

whether to show up or not, whether to speak out or not, whether to face reality or not.

—from The Miracle Collectors, Chapter 14

It is through fully living our experience that gives the miraculous the power to change lives far beyond our own…It gives us hope, a universal theological virtue tied to grace and the belief that we are inextricably linked to the Divine.

Socrates said that wonder is the beginning of wisdom. It means we acknowledge that we do not have all the answers and we remember to bow in appreciation of the universe’s bounty,

which has been laid at our door. - The Miracle Collectors

In spite of the hardships that so many feel this year, find gratitude anyway - in the small miracles that grace our lives…otherwise we forfeit our ability to live fully, to meet moments of beauty, friendship, hope, and love with the intoxicating appreciation they deserve.

We recognized years ago in our miracle journey that generosity of spirit was the secret sauce…
