100 "Thank You"s

106,870 views
For a year and a half, artist Lori Portka painted her gratitude through individual pieces of art for 100 people who have made a difference in her life. In her effort to truly live a life of gratitude, Lori learned that gratitude grows, and grows, and grows. "The more that I focused on gratitude, the more I was grateful for." This beautiful film captures Lori's motivation and some of the reactions from the recipients of her gratitude at an emotional exhibition of the 100 paintings. "One person, one person can make such a difference."

As my persona now emanates male senior citizen, I can no longer hide tears in the corners of my eyes from my wife. She sometimes teases me about it. I can't help it and can barely explain it. Thank YOU Lori for sharing this incredible gratitude project and video.

How moved Lori's "subjects" were by her gifts stood out to me. The joy is in the little, everyday things. Gratitude is a gift we can give others and Lori's gifts have made a difference in so many lives. I am moved and inspired by her heart and her actions.

In this moment, I am in such gratitude to Lori for following her heart inspiration and bringing this beautiful creation into the world. And to all who helped with the film. It's exactly what I needed to see today-- it touched me so very deeply. Thank you! Thank you! Gratitude is a subtle, yet profound shift in energy/consciousness that is the game changer for all of us. Thank you for such a beautiful and inspiring reminder. 🙏🏼
