What a year I’ve had so far. 
The first half I was planting seeds of intention and as the second half came around, I began to see some sprouts, then buds, and now I’m picking some gorgeous blossoms.
With only 33-ish days left of 2013, I’d say I have much to be grateful for. Emphasis on ‘much.’
And when there’s so much ‘much’ sometimes the best intentions (aka my inspirational and everyday blogging endeavors) can get derailed. Also, with that lovely ‘much,’ sometimes we all can feel like we’re being quickly steeped in hot liquid…asking the most flavorful and fruitful contents to spill forth from the center of our being. I’m in that stage right now, but I wouldn’t change a thing.
I’m steeping in gratitude in this very moment.
In the past few months, not only have I been creating (or co-creating, gotta give that little one some credit!) and amazing soul and human who I feel like I’ve already known for lifetimes. The overwhelm of love I feel literally takes my breath away. I get giddy from my head to my Barney Rubble feet (they’re not so pretty, my friends!). Speaking of feet…look at this amazing creation!
And those little kicks, twitches, turns, and flutters bring me such comfort and joy. In full disclosure though, I was a tad freaked out at first…”Woah, there’s something ALIVE inside me! AHH!” Oh, truth, you silly thing you!
Along with the most momentous “jobs” I’ve ever had…I’ve also manifested a client list for my engaging and transformational digital media consulting and management company that has my plate full and my heart warmed. It’s like I finally knew how to flip the ‘on’ switch in my heart, that in turn propelled a big beam of light from my head, attracting like-hearted clients with a purpose and a message to bring more light into this world.
It’s like the above Native American blessing…
“Give thanks for unknown blessings already on their way.“
That’s truly what I’ve been practicing for the past two and a half (or so) years. Believe me my friends, they are coming. They already are here. Act as if. Talk as if. Dream as if. Live as if. Your dreams WILL appear and even bigger and better than you’ve imagined!
Today, I encourage you to not only give thanks for what you already have in your life. This is wonderfully important to recognize the greatness and goodness that already is, but as you sit around the dinner table, try something new…
Predict what you will be thankful for in 2014!
It’s never, ever too early to start manifesting the beauty, joy, abundance, health, laughter, and puppies you want right now. Say it out loud, affirm it, attract it directly to you and allow others to hear it too!
If you feel like it, share what you’ll be thankful for in 2014 with me (and all the other awesome people here) with a comment below, or on my Facebook or Twitter page!
I’ll play along too…here’s mine:
- A happy, healthy baby who lets mama and dad sleep (relatively) well 🙂
- Awesome work/life/self balance and confidence
- Continue allowing myself to grow and evolve into someone who is actively making a difference for good in the world!
Today, and everyday, I wish you an abundance of amazing ‘MUCH!’
Love and peace to you!
xoxo
I’m thankful for a happy, healthy, evolving self and family – the joy of time for quiet introspection and the opportunity for being of service (also with a good sized helping of joy!). Bottom line: being filled with peace and happiness and radiating it out to the world:
Love this! Love to you! 🙂
Goodness, this post gave me so much to think about Blaire and even clarified my word of the year for 2014 (ha! ‘clarity’ is my word for 2013!)!
For 2014, I am thankful for the opportunity and support to return to school, I am thankful for the knowledge and wisdom I am receiving, and I am thankful to be moving forward in my life with purpose and anticipation.
Love those little toes!!! xoxox
LOVE that! 2014 is going to ROCK!
