Daily Gratitude: Brenda Knight's The Grateful Table Featured for Its Collection of Inspiring Quotes on Giving Thanks
(PRWEB) June 11, 2014 -- Brenda Knight's The Grateful Table: Blessings, Prayers and Graces for the Daily Meal is featured on Beliefnet. The article spotlights quotes that inspire gratitude, and opens by saying "The Grateful Table shows us the way to begin every meal with an open heart for every day of the year."
A quote from May Manin Morrissey beautifully remarked that "true abundance is not about gathering more things, it's about touching the place in us that is connected to the divine source of abundance." The quotes range from Christian and Buddhist prayers to commentary from rapper Tupak. The book is certainly "not your grandmother's book of graces," but she'll like it too.

She also learned from her mother that you only get what you give. For this reason, she will be donating a portion of her proceeds to Building Opportunities for Self-Sufficiency (BOSS), which operates a network of housing and support services in Berkeley, Hayward, and Oakland, California.
