Day 4 of 28

(Gratitude journal 28 day challenge within a 365 gratitude journal challenge.)

“Open your heart to celebration and fun!”
From Denise Linn’s Sacred Forest Oracle Deck

Today was a full heart kind of day. I have three extra kids over for a sleepover currently. Because I knew they were coming I did my journaling earlier in the day, in the quiet. Though hearing laughter throughout my house fills my soul up with joy. Funny how that card came out too.

Here’s my gratitude journal for today

Also here’s my note I kept around in my kitchen for the day.

Tomorrow is all about money. Rhonda Byrne explains money is hard for a lot of people to be grateful for when you feel in lack of money.

The first thing tomorrow you need to do is think about your childhood and everything you received or what your parents provided to you. Think and meditate on how grateful you are for the hospital bills they paid, the gas for the car, the vacations you went on.

Also, you’ll have to make another note and place it somewhere where you’ll look at it throughout the whole day. She says at least twice. THANK YOU FOR ALL THE MONEY IVE BEEN GIVEN THROUGHOUT MY LIFE. When you look and read it, feel truly grateful. Also, remind yourself anytime you’re given money to say thank you three times and mean it.

A reminder to also not complain about money, it’ll stop the flow of it. Just remind yourself it’s coming and find something to be grateful for that you just paid for, a bill or a material.

The first time I did this 28 day challenge I got a call for 10k on day five. Not saying that’ll happen exactly for you, but I couldn’t believe when it happened to me.

So, try to hold yourself accountable for the feeling of gratitude for the money you have. Remember to count your blessings too, 10 each day.

I was floating in the water and feeling completely grateful when my husband got the call. It made me buy “The Magic” for all my friends after it happened. 🙂

Have a fantastic day!

Day 3 of 28

(Day 33 of 365 gratitude challenge;)

Oooh the synchronicity’s that came up today. Look at the moon I took before I asked for an oracle card for the day.

The card that popped out tonight. “Magic is all around you.”
Sacred Forest Oracle Deck
by Denise Linn

Quite crazy how similar the photo is to the picture. I am grateful for the moon for reflecting the sun’s light, keeping the night magical and for the cycles. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

I had a really good day today. I got to sleep in with the kids and I sent out some queries to agents. I choose Cole, Noah, and Jon for my three relationships today. I kept their photos in my kitchen- my hub during the day. I also did my gratitude list around noon today because the sun was shining on me and it felt like the perfect time.

Here’s my gratitude journal for the day.

Here’s some bird’s footprints in the snow, I am grateful for their singing while I was writing in my gratitude journal.

For day four, it’s all about health. Health is wealth and so our focus of our gratitude journal day four is our bodies, our cells, our muscles, are organs-everything! Make a list of why you’re grateful for your body and go into detail. During the day think about your muscles as you walk and say thank you to the ones being used. Write on a sheet of paper: THE MAGIC OF HEALTH IS KEEPING ME ALIVE. and put it somewhere you can look at it four times throughout the day. When you see it smile and repeat it with the feeling of gratitude. See the words say them slowly and mean it as you read it.

My best part of my day today was cooking for my family, sleeping in, my talks with Aurora, Aidan listening to me, my husband complimented me, Noah sent me a funny video, the fun of figuring out the a sleepover for tomorrow, Cole stealing my seat at lunch, working out with Aurora, and singing in the shower.

Have a divine day!

Day 2 of 28

(gratitude challenge journal-a-long!)

“Don’t let anyone dim your light.”
by Denise Linn
Sacred Forest Oracle Deck.

I’ve been starting off my night routine with asking from my angels and ancestors for one card. They’ve been pretty on point which is truly nice. This one says to step up and don’t get knocked off your path. I hear you and I am grateful for the guidance.

Today was busy for me, but with that said I am grateful for the energy I had for today. It’s still snowing which is simply beautiful and magical. I’ll always love the snow. My one cousin makes fun of how much I love snow, but it’s the truth. I’ve always lived in Michigan, U.S., so the snow takes me straight back to my childhood and how much I used my imagination with glitter glistening quiet all around you. Made forts, followed and looked up different animal tracks, stood in the middle of the road at night looking up and being surrounded by bright white lined branches. Oh the magic. We each had at least three hats and gloves on string in rotation with the heat vents. We never wanted to come in and didn’t feel the cold. Wonderful memories.

Here’s my journaling I did tonight. I had a couple of irruptions. I hear an Aurora pacing in the family room behind me. She’s waiting for snow day talks at night. So, before bed I’ll reread my list out loud and inside my head.

Also today I did my weekly grocery shopping and when I was putting the cart away I noticed a bunch of trash. The last two days were above freezing so all the snow from before melted away leaving the trash exposed. So, I picked up what I could and found this. I thought it was funny because I said to find a rock or stone today and maybe it would cross your path. Path crossed! The first time I ever heard my inner voice it told me to pick up litter; I have been ever since. So, I have two gratitude rocks for this challenge.

I am going to keep this new stone by my bed and keep my other one on me to remind me to find something grateful in every situation when I touch it. If you don’t have pockets maybe just think of the best part of your day before you go to bed. Think of it and remember how you feel. Place your hand around your item and remind yourself of that moment.

Ohh the feels.

For tomorrow, day 3, you need three pictures of three of your close relationships. Three people. You can have actual photos or take some screenshots and put three photos in your favorites in your phone together and in the same place for this challenge. Throughout the day tomorrow you’re going to look into the picture, into their eyes and say “Thank you, ______” I’ll definitely have a picture of my husband because he’s my closest relationship. So I’ll say at least three times during the day. “Thank you Jon” while looking into his eyes in the picture.

Have magical day and night!

Day 1 of 28

(Also, day 31 of 365 of gratitude journaling challenge)

No joke! This is the card that flu out of my hand.
“Gratitude is the secret to a joy-filled life.”
Denise Linn Sacred Forest Oracle cards.

Today was a good day for me. I was able to talk to my two best friends earlier in the day and I tried to fill gratitude and joy throughout the day when my mind would wonder to what if’s. As a reminder, I say my list out loud and in my head while feeling truly grateful for what I’m saying and why. I think of this as my daily meditation. Clearly the noise from my head and repeating thank you’s getting into the frequency of gratitude.

For tomorrow you need to be on the look out for a rock. This rock is something you can find on a walk, lingering around your house, or maybe something that presents itself to you throughout the day. It could be a button. But it needs to take up space somewhere that you’ll notice it. I keep mine in my pocket or by my night stand. I rub it and think about exactly what I am grateful for in the moment. It helps keep my vibration up and reminds me to stay in joy. Here’s a picture of my gratitude rock, I found it on a walk during my first challenge.

Here’s a list of gratitude subjects for your ten daily blessings. Counting our blessings yields you with more blessings.

Health and body, Work and success, Money, Relationships, Passions, Happiness, Love, Nature, Material goods, Any subject of your choosing.

Also it’s important to write out what you’re grateful for and you reason why. I tend to write two reasons why. I see it as a super charge on my gratitude. But don’t worry one will suffice.

So, look for a rock tomorrow.

Have an outstanding morning. I am wishing for snow.

Day 30

Whooo whoo!!! 30 days! This full moon is affecting me with a protective force, reminding me to focus on the good in life. Doesn’t make me the best to be around, I’m sure, but it helps me deal with what I can handle.

On the eve of my 28 gratitude challenge I pulled a oracle card from my Sacred Forest Deck by Denise Linn

“Abounding insight, profound majesty, and grace are available to you now, simply by pulling your awareness inward.”

For this challenge I’m going to be using the book by Rhonda Byrne “The Magic” as a guide. I’m doing it a little differently though, I’m not sticking to doing my gratitude in the morning, I simply can’t. So, around midnight it is! I will read something spiritual in the morning to set my mindset like Oprah suggests. But my journaling will be at night. I will also be handwriting my gratitude in the challenge just because I like making rules for myself. 🙂

Here is my list of wants: Something you should do before the 16th what I like to call day 1 of 28! Not really sure if that’s going to stick or not. But I’ll also start using my instagram handle @TheOfficialGratitudeWItch for this challenge as well. Hopefully.

If you notice I broke them down into categories and wrote what I wanted in each one. Rhonda suggests figuring out exactly how much money you need for a trip or your kid’s school. If you don’t have a partner right now, she suggests writing down all the traits you’d like them to have. Write thinking about your wants now, a month from now, or in the next year. Also, don’t think how they’ll come to you, just what you want. I always dream big, and I always will. Why not, really?

Okay I hope you join me tomorrow let me know in the comments if you do.

Here’s what I am grateful for today.

I am very thankful and blessed for being able to have good talks with my kids, for them feeling safe to talk to me about things that make them vulnerable and for having those moments. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

With all my heart, thank you for Jon because of he’s grand love for me and our kids, for being supportive and my best friend, and for being such an amazing dad and stepdad. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

I am so blessed and grateful for my friendships and cousins because they all give me different perspectives and they all love for me. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

I am truly grateful and blessed for the Universe for guiding me, always having my back, and for all the joyful surprises you send my way. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

I am incredibly blessed for our home because it keeps my family safe and warm, and for all the love and hope it holds. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

I am truly blessed for my parents and Jon’s parents for giving the best childhoods they could offer and for their continual love and support. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

I am truly grateful and happy for Jon’s dream job because he gets to work with his best friends Bobby, Cole, and Noah, for it bringing Jon an abundance of joy and money, and for the pride he takes in his job daily. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

I am so lucky and grateful for our abundance of money because it pays for our bills and more, lets us be generous to others, and for being able to go on family vacations together often. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

I am so blessed and happy to be able to write, draw, and create because it brings me an abundance of joy and money, it let’s me spread joy and imagination to others, and it makes my life have some extra spice. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

I am grateful for this day because it was beautiful, kind, and thought provoking, and because their will never be this day again, I am grateful I was here for it. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Have a crisp air morning or night fill your lungs with delight! Let the magic in!

Day 29

(Day 29 of 365 #gratitudechallenge #gratitudewitch)

Today was an interesting day for the emotions that presented itself. Anyways, I am grateful that I pulled some cards out and got some reminders and reasons to be happy. With the full moon closing in, irritation comes up in different forms, in different humans. Me included, I got to keep myself in check. I’ve always seen myself as someone who is a full moon person, a werewolf to be exact. If you work in retail or a hospital, you know what I’m calling myself. I’m laughing, but it’s true. I tend to lock myself in my house when that type of irritable comes out. So, that’s where I’ll be the next couple days.

With that said, I thought it would be hilarious to start a 28 gratitude challenge if you’d like to follow along. I’m starting it on the full moon! 2/16/2022. Just do 28 days in a row with me, you have to think about ten things a day to be grateful for. It can be repetitive if you can’t think of something new everyday. I’m sure if you’ve read any of my post, you know I’m repetitive. But the point is to connect with your higher self while reading what you wrote and feeling gratitude as you say it out loud. That’s what I’ve noticed my shift into a more gratitude mindset which just makes me happier.

But if this irritates you, what I’m saying, please don’t do it. I feel it’ll only have the opposite effect on you and I don’t want that for you. This is for anyone who wants to try something on an online community setting and see if you notice something different with how you see the world around you.

Okay tomorrow I’ll share my list of wants and what categories you should focus on your list. Spoiler: Health, Relationships, Money, Love, and Career. I still need to sit down in a quiet spot for a while and think about what I really want. Though, I know some of it now.

I am grateful and blessed for today because of the love I got to give, witness, and receive. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

I am blessed for being a mom to Aurora, Aidan, Noah, and Cole because they each teach me something different each day, and for making me proud. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

With all my heart, thank you for Jon because how he loves me and our kids, for being loyal and respectful. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

I am truly blessed for the moon because of how it reminds you to be still and for radiating and reminding us about cycles. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

I am incredibly blessed and grateful for our home because it’s filled with love and hope and for keeping my family safe and warm. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

I am so lucky and grateful for our abundance of money because it pays our bills and more and for letting us be generous with others. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Have a superb day or night!

Day 25

a practice of lettering I did the other day.

Today was a hard day for me being a stepmom to a 15 year old teen. It was hard because of how mean a 15 year old can be, especially if you catch them in a lie and they double down on it. Anyways, it was hard to remind myself not to get on that level. I do have to say, I let go of the two hour argument faster than I normally would. That’s progress I’ll take! With all that said, I had some laughs throughout the day, I finished up two illustrations, I had some great hugs, and I had some magic find me.

A reminder that with the full moon on the 16th, I’ll be starting a gratitude 28 day challenge if you’d like to join. Something to think about. I’ll share my list of what I’d like to see unfold in the year on the 15th under my gratitude list.

Some days it flows, some days it’s slow, but just doing it feels good. I did five today.

Meet Sirius. Orion lounged off right before the picture.

Have a magical day!
