What she discovered was a beautiful journey of self love, patience and acceptance allowing her to empower herself and empower others.”

Be Grateful For What Makes You Happy

August 13, 2012 by Leave a Comment

Day 27 The Gratitude Challenge

Happiness

Don’t ask what the world needs. Ask what makes you come alive and go do it. Because what the world needs is more people who have come alive ~ Howard Thurman.
Day 27 of the Gratitude Challenge: Today’s challenge is to focus is doing and being what makes you happy Nicole says:

Life is not a career path! Life is a glorious opportunity to explore, to grow, to learn and to become.

No matter whether our lives currently reflect the way we want to live, or whether we have a long way to go to realise our dreams, we can begin to be happy where we are.

The more we find to be grateful for, the more good stuff starts to show up in our lives.  Transforming our energy and our attitude is as simple as cultivating that attitude of gratitude.

If you were to ask me what your purpose was for this lifetime, I could answer this in just two words – Be Happy. Read more here

  1. I am grateful for friends K & J who spent yesterday with us because it made me realise how special true friendship is.  It give me goosebumps and makes me feel so happy.

  4. I feel so grateful we have a car because we were able to drive our friends yesterday to their family because we also got to see the beautiful countryside and see a wonderful sunset sky
  5. I am so grateful for the fishermen who go out in their boats because yesterday while we were at Brunswick heads we went to the Fisherman’s Cooperative and bought wild caught leatherjackets that had just been caught and I am grateful that they wrapped them in ice to bring them home.

Today’s extra gratitude exercise: Nicole suggests

Think of a place that you are grateful for.  It could be something that speaks to you of majesty or freedom, it could be a place where you feel relaxed or safe, it could be a place where your creativity always flows…

Ponder for a moment what makes this particular place special to you.

Then ask yourself, how can I bring some of that magic into my day today?

Find a small way to connect into that energy. Celebrate and give thanks for that blessing of environment, and its gifts for you. Read more here 

Where is your special place? What memories does it hold for you?

August 5, 2012 by Leave a Comment

Day 19 The Gratitude Challenge

gratitude Vision board

Day 19 of the Gratitude Challenge: Today I am catching up on daydreaming as suggested by Nicole in yesterday’s challenge The extra challenge was is to make a dream board and somewhere on your board write the words Thank You, Thank You, Thank You. Read more here The Abraham quote is great to reflect om

Look for things that you appreciate where you are. It will put you in a place of perfect allowing, even when you are not yet manifesting all that you want. “There are many people right now experiencing the dream that is coming for me, who were at one time standing right where I’m standing. I’m right on track. There is not anything amiss here. Everything is unfolding perfectly. I am perfect where I am and gravitating to something that will satisfy me even more.” That’s the attitude that lets it expand.  ~  Abraham

My 5 blessings for today are:

  1. I am grateful for the visioning challenge because I took time out to focus on my dreams. This will now be on the wall besides my bed so i see it when I wake in the morning and go to sleep at night
  2. I am truly grateful for my creativity because it is a gift that allows me to open into love
