Reflecting after a year long Gratitude practice. Looking at how it changed me and how I view the world of effect. The practices are what changes us. Where we build or strength.

You know you want it, but the Universe wants to know how bad. Do you want enough to stay committed, to change your habits, to sacrifice your comfort zone? Do you want it enough to do the work?

The world demands so much of us. It’s easy to get distracted and disconnected from our Self. Begin to find the time to reconnect with your Self, Rest, relax and celebrate ALL that you are! Know that you deserve it!

Even as we grow and change life still happens. We may fall away from the practices at times. If we do it’s ok, we simply get back on and get back to it! It’s not how many times you fall that count but how many times you get back up!

It’s not easy to silence your mind. The mind is designed to think and send out information. But with time and commitment you can begin to shift your focus. You can reprogram your mind and begin to create beautiful moments of mindfulness where the silence becomes creative & productive. Everything you need is already within you & you find it in the silence.

The tests & trials do still come. But with awareness, gratitude & practice you begin to respond to what’s happening and not react. Knowing that everything is working for your greatest good! Even when it doesn’t look Lie it at the moment.

It’s about giving your Self Grace along this journey. You will see things that don’t resonate, try things that don’t fit you and that’s ok! Our journeys to Wholeness are each as individual as we are. So chew the meat and spit the bones, take what resonates and leave what doesn’t from my stories or anyone’s for that matter. Always trust your own inner knowing and do what’s best for you! Though we’re all going to the same place we may not all get there on the same path. I love you and I’m Grateful for you!
