Who on earth are the Gratidudes? I am sure that is what some of you might be asking yourselves after watching the video on our home page. The Gratidudes are two young men, Matthew Ashdown and Brad Morris, who have have done a great deal towards keeping Victoria and the world aware of the power of the attitude of gratitude!
How great is it to be able to bring the Gratitudes to you via our video!
Matt and Brad are so excited about the power of gratitude that they created a gratitude dance. Once they taught their friends how to do it they brought a video camera to the Inner Harbour in Victoria, B.C., coached a number of willing strangers on the fine art of the gratitude dance and then filmed their friends and happy strangers gleefully enjoying the dance!
The resulting video was so much fun that it ended up on the Diane Sawyer show.
To give you an idea of what Matt and Brad are up to, here is a quote from their website:
"Through speaking engagements, workshops, tele-seminars, radio, TV, and print media - the Gratidudes have empowered thousands of individuals and families to embrace gratitude in their lives in order to overcome obstacles, heal old wounds and find peace in the present moment. They speak from the heart and come from a place of experience and wisdom that brings forth passion, hope, humour and inspiration to any work they do."
Matthew continues his work as a personal trainer and public speaker whose is bringing gratitude, love and compassion to gyms and fitness programs through events and one-on-one coaching. He says that, "Through gratitude we get to remember the sacred nature of our bodies". His website, which he says is still in process is, www.MatthewAshdown.com

"I am enjoying my gratOodle and am showing it off to everyone. The best day so far was last Monday. I woke up in a grumpy mood and by 10:00am I was still growly. Then I remembered the gratOodle in my bag and dug it out. I reluctantly began to find things to be grateful for and started clicking it. After about an hour I had close to 10 things and was starting to feel much happier. By the evening I had clicked it close to 100 times and was in an amazing mood, very buoyant and happy! I've been telling everyone that story and getting a lot of joy clicking away ever since."
