A Gratitude Adjustment

Well, so much for my promise of regular blogs (guilty smile)… but really what a ride the last five months have been!  In May just after I turned 50 an amazing book came into my life titled “The Magic” by Rhonda Byrne and it started me on a journey of daily gratitude and joy!  I start every morning being truly thankful and grateful for the amazingness of my life today (no matter what is happening – smile) and I end every day with a quick review of all that happened that day, choosing the one thing that was my favorite, BEST moment of the day and saying a quick “thank you" for that moment before I fall asleep! and you know what... Life just keeps getting BETTER and BETTER these days and even the "hard moments are joyful!

In June I attended a five-day Brave Girls Camp hosted by Melody Ross and her sister Kathy Wilkins in Star, Idaho.  Imagine, Empowerment and healing through ART! It was LIFE CHANGING!

In July my amazing grandboys (who are 8 & 5) arrived for a 35-day visit -woo hoo!  I spent the month of August RECOVERING from the 35-day visit!  (it was totally worth it though!)

and this is what it was like most days!! LOL
In September I started Brave Girls Art School and discovered my Inner Artist and my life has changed YET AGAIN! 
Brave Girls Art School Lesson 1 - doodled Funky Flowers...WHO KNEW!
And as I reflect back upon the past few months I have to share with you that life has taken on a very rosy glow since I started focusing on all I HAVE in my life instead of moaning about all I don't have in my life.... I call it a GRATITUDE ADJUSTMENT and I encourage you to give it a try!

    Hi Lynne. It's nice to see you again. I used to be on the cms design team. I really love your blog, it's close to the heart and meaningful. You are a very bubbly kind person who makes everyone laugh and smile:) That book you suggested sounds very interesting, and I think we can all benefit from it. I have one of her other books, The Secret- it's about believing in yourself, a powerful read.

      Christina!!! OF COURSE I remember you - big smile! I had no IDEA anyone was really following my blog! I created it as a way for me to get to have my say UNINTERRUPTED! (laughing here) But I am so glad that you find it meaningful because I am really, truly sharing from my heart and soul.Smile
      Now I strongly encourage you to have a peak at the book "The Magic" because it actually gives you a detailed step-by-step plan to follow every day! I LIKE books that actually TELL YOU what to do to change things instead of telling you about everyone else that changed their lives, which kinnda leave me feeling a little bit like "So if it doesn't work it must be ME, right?!" PLUS I haven't even gotten to the end yet! LOL, just doing the first three or four exercises have caused a huge change... ANYWAY... Keep in touch and I will try to post more regularly... probably typing just to YOU! Big Smile

      Thank you Joyce! It was empowering reading this again today, especially as there have been so many bends in the road since I wrote this, but my life still has a Rosy Glow!
