Future Gratefuls!
Being grateful for things that haven't happened yet...2018 is going to be the best year ever! 1. I am so grateful for the three new books I have published this year and the three new coloring books I released. I am a successful author and I earn a living sharing my stories and showing people how to live their best lives possible. 2. I am grateful for all the extra space in my new home! My old one-bedroom apartment was amazing and served my needs perfectly, and now I have a two bedroom home to spread out in. My backyard is amazing and lush with plenty of greenery and a vegetable garden. I am grateful for all the natural light in my home, and for a large office to write my books, and for a large kitchen to express my love of cooking and baking for friends and family. 3. I am grateful for my trip to New Orleans in the Spring. The beignets at Cafe du Monde were worth the wait! And their chickory coffee...phenomenal....I was in heaven! I went there every day for coffee and beignets and I even lost weight on this trip from walking the city and from all the fun I had exploring. 4. I am so grateful for new opportunities and experiences to express my true self. I choose to be the best version of myself in every moment, and I am no longer afraid to share who I am with the world. I engage with people in my Facebook groups and pages where fans of my books can see me speak and expand on the knowledge I wrote about. 5. I am so grateful for a loving and supportive partner to share my journey with. He supports my writing career and encourages me to dig deep and share even more of myself. I also love how affectionate and loving he is. We go on adventures together and he makes me laugh all the time. It truly is a joy to be with him and to have him in my life.

I was challenged to write 5 things I am grateful for and why, each day for one week. Sharing my lists. What are you grateful for?
Day 7 1. I am grateful for another day of life! The dog didn't want to do a long walk this morning so I went by myself and enjoyed the trees in the park just for me. I get another day to enjoy life. 2. I am grateful for cat snuggles as I'm trying to type up my gratitudes. Baby cat's showing me how to slow down this morning. Also morning biscuit-making (cat kneading) helps blood flow, or so I choose to think. 3. I am grateful for second chances and the unlimited patience of the Universe. I guess every new day is a second chance but I'm talking about second chances in the little things, the little encounters, the little conversations, and the little tasks in the whole scheme of things. 4. I am grateful for warm, fuzzy socks in the cool morning. There are plenty of people who don't have one pair of socks, let alone a selection of different kinds for different occasions in their closet....a closet! Not many people that either. I am very blessed. 5. I am grateful for bandaids when biscuit-making turns to blood-letting...my baby cat can get a little intense showing me her love sometimes...and I'm grateful for reminders and cat-nail-clippers...I have something to go do right now I was challenged to write 5 things I am grateful for and why, each day for one week.

Day 6 1. I am grateful for good music in the morning. Also really grateful for Facebook again as it brings me new things I'd never search for on my own. A friend of mine shared a video of this young kid as a guitar God prodigy...I keep listening to his performance on repeat because it's so amazing. 2. I am grateful for Creativity and Epiphany... they go by many names in the lore of the world but they are Gods to me none the less. I have written 21 poems in two days. I've cried for no reason...just releasing decades of stuck energy. Very grateful for Inspiration and Love. 3. I am grateful for the book "Conversations with God" by Neale Donald Walsh. Apparently the Divine is my theme this morning. I'm not religious and I'd say I was more spiritual but I am starting to reconnect to my God-self in my own way, as Source. I am grateful for the spiritual experiences I am having in my life right now. 4. I am grateful for salt lamps. They are just so cool to stare at. I know they work on an energetic level too but their physical presense is pretty amazing. Also grateful for incense and sage to burn. I love the scents and I love playing with the smoke trails. 5. I am grateful for Me! My ability to pick myself up and keep going...my ability to go in a new direction even if I start by dragging my feet...my love of knowledge and always searching for more answers...my desire to be better and no longer for anyone else, but just for me and my own journey. I love myself, truly. I was challenged to write 5 things I am grateful for and why, each day for one week. Sharing my lists. What are you grateful for?
Day 5 1. I am grateful for morning sunrises that spring me out of bed and out the door. The sky was a perfect golden red this morning and I just had to be outside in it. Awe moments in the morning are amazing. 2. I am grateful for my car which allows me to go to the store when I need to and to get away when I need to. Not many people have this luxury and I am so appreciative of a car that runs and runs well. 3. I am grateful for YouTube and motivational videos in the morning. I've found a good channel of inspirational and motivational pep talks to get me going in the morning. I don't really need these videos, but sometimes I let them run in the background when I'm doing my work. 4. I am grateful for coffee....coffee is good....coffee is God...another thing I could do without but on a beautiful morning with an awesome sunrise, a cup of coffee just brings the entire scene together. Enjoying life this morning. 5. I am grateful for the many people who invented the various writing instruments I use every day. I like to take notes with pen and paper, especially for my books as I feel more connected to what I'm writing. I also use special fine-tip markers to draw my coloring books and they make it so much easier. I am very grateful for these experiences.

Day 4 1. I am grateful for books that inspire me to change my life. Along the lines of the law of attraction, you can only give what you have and you can only keep what you give. I also learned to give yourself what appears to be missing. My boyfriend isn't the romantic type so I've started writing love letters to myself (literally just started this at 10pm last night and this morning). Will see how this works in my life soon enough 2. I am grateful for inspirations and creativity. I've been trying so hard to write a book, 'trying' being the key word, and yesterday I spent the whole day reading this book I received in the mail. Divine timing and all... now i'm writing a whole different book and going with the flow of this creative inspiration this morning. Surrending is pretty cool after all 3. I am so grateful for this freakin book! "Emergence: Seven Steps for Radical Life Change" by Derek Rydall. We don't need to attract anything as we aren't lacking anything. We are already whole and have everything we need within us from the very beginning. I read this book in a day because it's so fascinating. It feels like I'm plugged into an electrical socket this morning. 4. I am grateful for the memo app on my cell phone. Inspiration came while walking the dog around the park and thankfully I had my cell phone to take notes. I could have repeated everything I was thinking over and over again so I wouldn't forget, but that would have prevented new stuff to flow in, so I am very grateful for being able to take notes on the go. 5. I am so grateful for my blog! My human was like "eh, why do we have to share what we're grateful for today. Just don't post today." And I'm like no, we're gonna post! And here I am buzzing with excitement and creative flow. I'm ready to keep these writing going on my new book now. |
