Editor’s
Letter
Dear Ladies,
November is here!
Are you looking back at unfulfilled dreams? If you are then you
may experience regrets and lack genuine gratitude. If this is
the case, then I have news for you. There is so much power in
appreciation as I have come to discover. For one thing, it helps
you make a shift from a place of hopelessness to a place of
possibility. Recently, I was chatting with a young lady in despair.
I began to probe her to discover what she enjoyed doing and how
she could build a business around it. As I queried, she suddenly
snapped and displayed some level of ingratitude. It never
occurred to her that I didn’t have to do what I was doing as her
financial difficulties were no business of mine. It never occurred
to her that I was rendering her a free coaching service that
others pay for. It also never occurred to her that I probed because
I wanted to support her financially to start this business venture
but needed to be confident that I was not about to throw money
away. Because she was so wrapped up in what she lacked and the
problems that surrounded her, she failed to see that help, and a
solution to her problems was standing right in front of her. And
she was about to discard it. An indulgence in gratitude, even for
life, might have helped her see the possibilities that could arise
from my discussions with her. But ingratitude left her blinded.
How sad. I went on to assist her but not as I might have if her
attitude had been different. It was a very humbling experience
for me. I thought to myself, Eturuvie, how many times have you
had the answer to your prayer standing before you but failed to
see it because you were blinded by a lifestyle of ingratitude? I don’t
know about you, but it is time to embrace gratitude as a lifestyle.
Things may not have gone as planned this year, and we may be
surrounded by unfulfilled dreams and visions, but we are alive.
And life is a gift that provides us with the opportunity to turn our
situations around. Let’s go for gratitude.
This is DOZ Issue 49, November 2019, and the stories and
interviews will blow your mind. I promise. Our DOZ That Inspire

hats and juggles many balls. She is not only a full-time physician
but a super mom of triplets, the wife of a fantastic surgeon, an

and the host of The Dr. Mom Show. Phew! One woman! But she is
brilliant, and you will love reading her interview.

known as Grateful Rachel, and I call her the bounce-back queen.

helped her bounce back and live a life worthy of emulation. You
