Day 123

A nice doozy of a day, I am grateful it went well and that the arguments that were had with my teens weren’t as bad as they could have been. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

I am grateful for having the time to work in garden and illustrate a new page. I am also grateful for the stranger I met who gave me solid advice, which my husband agreed about. It made me smile and is something I’m going to start working on. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Day 122

I had a good day today. I worked on my yard, started illustration two, made my family dinner, and talked to my neighbor about bees and flowers.

It’s coming up to a year in our house, we’ll I’m a month away, but I didn’t get to see all the flowers that surround our fence until this last month. I am so grateful for all of the flowering trees, bushes, shrubs, and all iris’ left in this beautiful yard because it’s such a nice way to welcome the weather changes and it makes my heart sing. I am excited to keep on working on the yard to make it sing a little louder. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

I am grateful for my parents because of what a fantastic childhood they gave me and for always being there for me and my family. Thank you, thank you, thank you. (If you have a minute send a small prayer to the heavens for my dad Ric, he’s having some health issues.)

Have a wonderful day!

Day 121

On one of the bushes this morning.

I had a fulfilling day today, filled with sunshine and I finished an illustration. I talked to my mom and was able to be there for both of my high schoolers today, who both had emergencies of their own. I am grateful I was able to be there for them and also for my husband who needed me to order some stuff for him. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

I am really feeling very lucky and grateful for my day to day life because I’m in an incredible environment, I am genuinely happy, and for feeling needed and loved. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

I am grateful for the epiphany I had the other night to start illustrating my ya mermaid book. I thought I could release a chapter at a time or possibly sign up for webtoons. But it’s fantastic because I can make this book a reality in my own time and see where it goes. I am grateful for the guidance from the Universe because of how the universe always has my back, and for all the joyful surprises. Thank you, thank you, thank you. (I put my first completed illustration down below.)

I hope a joyful surprise happens to you today! Sending love and light✨💞✨

Day 120

I had my daughter’s choir banquet tonight. It was fun but filled with social challenges for me. I am grateful for my husband because he saw all some of my challenges and asked the questions I needed to have a good night. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

I am grateful for Aurora making friends this year and for an opportunity to work with her school more. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

I am grateful for Aidan because he finally gets that I’m going to follow up on him and he knows it and does better. I am grateful for a text I read, where he was explaining this to someone. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

I am grateful for a surprise that I know about, makes life more interesting. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

I am blessed to help my friend today make her home more lovable from a design front and for chatting about motherhood to her. It was just what I needed to hear and vent about today. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

I am grateful to be able to create and work on some illustrations for something that I truly love and will spread joy and love to others. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

I started that 28 day challenge, but I couldn’t do it currently. There’s some deep healing I need to take on first before doing another teach gratitude practice. I don’t know why but it wasn’t bringing me joy but felt like a burden. I think I have a little too much on my plate, so I had to take that off. I am grateful I realized it and made changes because there’s no reason to loose sleep over problems you create for yourself. Ha. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

I am incredibly grateful for the trees because of their grand beauty and for cleaning out air, water, and soil. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Day 119

I am grateful for the Universe for guiding me, for always having my back, for helping out so many people on this planet, and for all the joyful surprises. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

I am blessed for everything I currently have because this life is filled with love and joy and it’s an incredible place to be. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

I am truly grateful for the epiphany I had last night and the joy of drawing because it’ll help others and it will spread joy to many. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Have a magical day!

Day 3 of 28 (118)

I am grateful for being tired today because it was a full happy day and for seeing my parents with Otis. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Here’s my journal today, some days it flows how much I am to be grateful for, some days it’s like tonight pulling teeth. So I do what I can and call that good.

For day three, I spent time with looking at my hands. Being fully grateful for how they can do so much for me and really sitting with the gratitude for them. I suggest picking a body part you might take for granted and think about everything you do with that part in a day. I am grateful for my hands for being about to write, text, draw, make pottery, stain glass, pick up my sugar gliders- lol literally just happened while I’m typing this. So many reasons to be grateful for them.

Enjoy the day!

Day 2 of 28 (117)

The Focus for Day two, is simply noticing three people or things to be grateful for during your day. For instance, I stopped and said out loud how grateful I am for my home earlier today and I hugged a wall in my home. I said, “I am so grateful for you, my home for keeping my family safe and for being so filled with love. Thank you, thank you, thank you.”

I also spoke to my lilac trees outside and told them how grateful I was for them and I looked into my husband’s eyes in a picture and I told him how grateful I am for him.

Here’s my gratitude list for today:

For today, day two, stop yourself throughout your day, three times and notice something in your view to be grateful for. And also write in your gratitude journal in your routine for today.

Have a magical day!

Day 116 (for real) Also Day 1 of 28

Another gratitude challenge inside a gratitude challenge? Yes, that’s right.

For the next 28 days I’m putting focus on writing out ten reasons why I am grateful. Each of the 28 days there will be a new focus. Today is figuring out what routine will work best for you and commuting to it for he next 28 days. Making sure I sit down and say my list out loud and within my own head at the same time creating a true frequency of gratitude, works best for me at night when my house is quiet. Today figure out what works best for you and do it.

Here’s my gratitude list for the day.

Day 1

I had my daughter’s sugar gliders out while I was writing out my list, I put them back into their home when it came to my meditation, for obvious reasons. Ha, they’re energy jumpers for sure.

Myself writing with Orion.

Day One = figure out a routine, make a list of ten reasons why you’re grateful, then find a quiet space to say them out loud and inside your head at the same time.

Have a wonderful day!

Day 116 (not really)

I’m actually doing this day tonight. I’m going back into journaling and meditating. I’ll be focusing gratitude for the next 28 days in a challenge that you can join if you’d like to or just watch me. I’m going to start posting at night instead of when I wake up. I’ll be a day ahead of you so if you can start your gratitude challenge in the morning or at night.

See you later!

Day 115

I am grateful for music because it moves you emotionally and for letting your soul shine deeply. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

The fastest way to raise your vibration is with music. Sing, dance, or workout to it and watch the magic of happiness grow.

I am blessed for singing because it makes me instantly happy, for feeling the connection to my soul, and for serenading my plants on the regular. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
