The Power of Gratitude

Gratitude

I love showing up here, sharing my heart and wisdom with you each week, which, of course, wouldn’t be possible if YOU weren’t here to connect with! 

So THANK YOU, for being a part of this journey to collectively awaken into more love and light.Gratitude should ideally be a theme all year long but I love how Thanksgiving always brings it to the forefront of our minds.The simple act of practicing gratitude is powerful…

It can help us feel good in an instant since it has the power to shift our energy and attention from what is missing or wrong in our lives to focusing on what is already good and right in our lives.The things that are already good and right in our lives are always overlooked when we’re focusing on what’s missing.But by simply shifting our focus to to what is already good and right in our lives, we instantly shift our vibration from feeling a sense of lack to feeling a sense of inner and outer overflow.Our “problems” go from feeling magnified in our awareness to being greatly minimized.They move from feeling overwhelming to manageable, or maybe even no longer present in …

Gratitude + Manifestation


November 26, 2013
Gratitude

With Thanksgiving this Thursday and November having a collective focus on all the things that we’re grateful for, this week I decided to take a behind-the-scenes look at how gratitude plays a crucial role in the whole manifestation puzzle.

In a nutshell, if you wanna bring more of your soul’s desires into your life (of course you do!), you’ve gotta have a mindset rooted in gratitude!

Let’s face it…it’s super easy to be grateful when things are going your way, but what about when they fall short of your expectations? You know…the anticipatory moment when you step on the scale hoping it will be five pounds less than the last time you checked and it’s only one pound less.

How you react to this is what determines your tomorrows!

In this week’s video, I share:

Focusing On The Present Moment


November 19, 2012
Compassion + Divine Timing + Gratitude + Shifting out of Ego and Into Spirit

I feel like I’m in a much calmer place than I had been for the past few weeks.  I decided to move forward with self-publishing.  I feel that it is where God is leading me.  Part of the reason I wanted to be “traditionally” published was to have a third-party stamp of approval validating the information to potential readers.  But the truth is, lacking approval doesn’t make me doubt what I’ve shared in the book.  I know the lessons are solid and that they have the potential to help others, which has always been the goal of the project.  Now there’s just more of an onus on me to be the foot soldier for sharing the information.  That was a little scary at first, but when I really think about it that’s what I’ve been put here to do—to share what I’m learning and applying in my life with others.  It’s not my luxury to simply sit in the solitude of my room and write—I’ve got to get out there (wherever that is) and share it.  That’s a part of the plan that I believe has been set for me.  …

Practicing Gratitude


June 29, 2011
Gratitude

Welcome back to my blog! It’s been a bit of a longer stretch since the last time we’ve connected, but that just means I’ve covered more ground and have that much more to share this time. =)

This week I wanted to talk about gratitude and why practicing gratitude is so important in this choice to bring about more peace and joy in our lives. A lot of times people might think the advice to practice gratitude is like a slap in the face, especially if the person hearing the advice finds themselves frustrated, angry, or annoyed with the things that are going on in their life. They might hear, “Quit your whining and be happy with what you’ve got!” or “Stop dreaming so big and be humble!”

Regarding the first statement, “Quit your whining and be happy with what you’ve got”, there is a basic truth to the essence of the statement, but practicing gratitude is not about repressing your anger and slapping on a happy face. It’s about cultivating a shift that moves you from anger and aligns you with peace and contentment, which is a more natural …
