My Gratitude

I have had the loveliest weekend! My life is so sweet and happy, and I'm totally in love with it :)

I'm grateful for a simply gorgeous evening spent with one of my best friends. The weather was balmy and beautiful and we had a delightful dinner and then walked along the Broadwater enjoying the night and the smell of the ocean.
With dessert and coffee under our belt, we headed home feeling full and happy. It was quite simply, wonderful.

I'm grateful for an afternoon of love and laughter with my favourite couple ever. It was a scorching hot day today, but as the sun went down and we were outside with the breeze, it was fabulous.
A perfect way to end the weekend.
I love my friends, they are amazing.

I'm grateful for having all my needs met so easily these days. I love that I'm in control of it, and I love even more that I'm aware of it. There isn't one thing in my life right now that I'm not thankful for.
When things go awry, there is always a way out, and it's usually just a time to re-focus my thoughts on good things.
I'm happy within myself, and that makes all the difference. Of course I'm not perfect, and sometimes I allow outside forces to affect my moods, but these days I know it's happening and then all of a sudden something will happen to take my mind off whatever (I feel) is going wrong.
Synchronicity is everywhere around me. Opportunities abound and I feel fantastic!

I'm thankful for having plenty of money to do the things I love to do, to pay my bills and to fill my belly.
I'm grateful for having excellent health. My belief is that I don't get sick, and I never do :)
I'm grateful for my kids. They never fail to make me smile. I love them to bits x

I'm grateful for a lovely home, abundance all around me, and such amazing people in my world.

Life is awesome and getting better and better by the day!!

My Gratitude

I'm so grateful for having a positive attitude! Really, it makes everything so much better. Nothing seems to get to me like it used to and consequently I float along on a little bubble of happiness most of the time these days. I smile more, for no good reason other than I feel GOOD!

I'm grateful for an opportunity to interview for a really great job. I would love to work for this company, and I went along and gave it my best shot. Feedback to date is they loved my positive attitude! Lol.
If I get this position it will open up so many avenues to develop in both my business and personal life...excited! :)

I'm grateful to be going on a little trip to Melbourne next weekend, and I'm grateful also for the reason to be going...
I am going on a date with a guy who seems very lovely. He's sweet and romantic, a doctor and drives a BMW convertible ;) I am soooo looking forward to meeting him in person. I spent a lot of time refining what I wanted from a relationship the next time around and focused my intent. This guy so far is ticking all those boxes (and there were a LOT of them! lol). I'll keep you informed!

I'm thankful to be losing weight and going to the gym and feeling healthy and happy.
Life is just so great and it is getting better and better on a daily basis! Everyday something amazing happens and I'm loving the flow. I want more of this!

I'm grateful for successful people. Have you noticed how successful people give off a better energy? How they want to share their knowledge with you? I love that, and I am happy to learn from and surround myself with the people I want to be like. I'm not going to spend my time with people who are negative, depressed or just plain lazy. I'm hanging out with energised, positive people with an attitude that they can achieve whatever they put their mind to. And that is who I am too!

Remember - a belief is just a thought you keep thinking.

Happy Valentines Day! :)

My Gratitude

So, so much to be grateful for over this weekend. It was fantastic and I am loving my life so much!

I'm grateful for more income! It's flowing really well and I'm feeling better about money than I have in a very long time - if ever. I now have a belief that I deserve money and it comes easily to me, and that is just what is happening :) It's awesome! Lol.

I'm thankful for a Friday night dinner with a good friend, and a Saturday lunch with Gabbie. I love going out to eat, I find it very relaxing. I tried crocodile meat for the first time on Saturday - it was yum!

I'm very grateful for a hugely successful first Body Shop party. I got five party bookings which is just fantastic! I'm feeling very lucky to have such great friends and also to have the privilege of selling such great products. I'm feeling very positive about growing this business, and am looking forward to all my upcoming parties!

I'm thankful for a little sweetness from a charming man :) We shall see where it goes, but I'm contemplating a quick trip to Melbourne next weekend to go on a date - something so far out of my comfort zone it isn't funny! But I signed up to this year to change, and that means doing things I've never done, and taking risks to reap the rewards. Eek! Lol.

I'm grateful for ridiculous and fun phone calls with one of my best friends. Love talking to him, we have the best conversations and I always get off the phone feeling happy and positive :)

I'm looking forward to an amazing week, full of happy surprises and positivity - and wishing the same to everyone else!

My Gratitude

Wow...I had an awesome day all in all yesterday. It's been a good week!

I'm grateful for having and making extra money this week - it always comes in handy! I'm feeling so much more positive about money these days, and so I'm attracting more to me...can't complain about that!

I'm so grateful that when something happens that I think is bad, if I make the decision to look for a way to feel better about it, something really rather good comes out of it. It's kind of amazing the way that works, but I like it alot :) Yesterday I discovered an opportunity for my youngest daughter to get a job that she would really enjoy. I'm feeling great about the way in which it came about - fingers crossed that she's successful.

I'm always thankful for the incredible and wonderful people in my life. It never ceases to amaze me how giving and beautiful my friends are. It fills me with love just thinking about them :)
They might all be very different, but they are each so special to me in their own way.

I'm grateful for the gorgeous weather I've been experiencing this week. And thankful for getting to be outside to experience it, even if only for a short time each day. The mornings have been glorious and I've loved just basking in the sun and soft breeze for a few minutes.

I'm grateful that I'm seeing results from the effort I've been putting into my weight loss. I'm feeling and looking so much better! Woohoo!
It's not been easy, but definitely worth it.

My Gratitude

I'm feeling very grateful for having my sewing machine home from the doctor - she's been away a while (my own doing as I kept forgetting to go pick her up!), and it feels good to know I can create some gorgeous things - when I get some time! Lol.

I'm thankful for the rain and cooler temperature today...

I'm grateful for having plenty of money to pay my bills and more.

I'm grateful for my job - I'm doing well and making plenty of sales which is awesome :)

I'm grateful for every day being given the opportunity to learn and grow. It feels good to stretch myself a little bit.

My Gratitude

I'm grateful this morning for a full, productive and thoroughly enjoyable weekend.
I was lucky enough to get to go to an awesome business seminar on Saturday which really helped me to get some clarity in what direction I want to head. On Sunday I got to spend the morning with Brooke down the Coast, and got a great workout in too!

I'm grateful for the regular conversations I get to have with my girls. We discuss lots of things, but there is always an underlying theme of gratitude there. I love how they are aware how lucky they are, and they are learning that they create their own lives. I'm so blessed with my kids. They are amazing :)

I'm grateful to get to go to the Coast most weekends. I love it there so much, and going there so often just reinforces my goal of moving there at the end of the year. I'm so excited about this goal and can't wait!!

I'm thankful for summer. I know it's super hot right now, but I refuse to complain about the weather for two reasons. 1: I can't change it and 2: in a few months those who are currently moaning about the heat, will start whinging about how cold it is. I'm just happy I am here to experience it! I love summer because I can go swimming and to the beach and spend lots of time outside.

I'm grateful for learning more and more about the power of my thoughts and intentions in creating my life. It's such a simple concept, yet so many people (and I used to be one!) find it a difficult thing to grasp. I hope I can start seeing more people around me begin to understand that they need to take responsibility for what is in their lives. It's the most empowering thing anyone can ever do! I'm starting to feel that I want to take the message out to more people. Something to 'think' about! :)

Wow, I'm feeling great today! I love choosing the way I feel when I get up in the mornings...it never fails to make me smile.

My Gratitude

Today I'm grateful for...fruit and veges! I love eating fresh foods - it makes me feel so good. Making the decision to look after my body has been one of the best things I've ever done.
I'm 40 years old and I feel better than I did when I was 20. I have lots of energy and I am totally loving life! No more sloth for me!!

I'm thankful that Cyclone Yasi came and went without any loss of life. Quite a miracle and I'm so happy for that. buildings and things can be replaced.

I'm grateful for Shea Body Butter from the Body Shop. It's just yummy! Smells utterly gorgeous and keeps my skin smooth and soft. Delicious!

I'm grateful for more opportunities to learn new things and to grow my business. I'm loving the support I get in my life.

I'm grateful for my day ahead. It's going to be fantastic, because that is what I want it to be:)

Oh my goodness, can you believe the first month of 2011 is over? I hope your January was fabulous and you are building on that for an even better Feb!

My Gratitude

I'm feeling very grateful for so much these days. I love how the more you feel grateful, the more you have to be grateful for!
I am getting some amazing opportunities offered to me for which I am extremely thankful. Opportunities which will go a long way towards fulfilling my goals in my year of change. I'm so excited for the possibilities that will come from all of these things!

I'm grateful for making my first sales in my new job. I'm doing well, and it's all extra money for me - woohoo! :)

I'm grateful for living in a country that is safe and free. I love Australia, and am thankful I chose to come and live here - it's a blessing!

I'm grateful for being motivated. I feel so much better now that I have stopped sitting on my arse whinging about how bad things are (all perspective anyway). I love waking up in the morning knowing I can choose to feel awesome - and I always choose awesome these days! It's my passion to spread the word, and in small ways I feel I am :)

I'm grateful for the people in my life, and those who come in for a short time and then leave. I learn much from them - about life and about myself. I'm grateful for the gifts they bring.

________________________________________________________

Along with the knowledge that we choose and create our lives with our thoughts, comes the knowledge that we can't leave things to fate.

I used to be a "if it's meant to be it will happen" person.

Something came up very recently that made me realise that the statement above is a cop out! Lol

I have been offered an opportunity. It's a great thing, and I am really excited about it at this point, however the logistics in taking it up are a little overwhelming to me right now. It's something I really want to do though.

I instantly reverted to the old "if it's meant to be" theme - for about 5 seconds! Then I realised that if I want it I have to take it in both hands and run with it, and work out the logistics later! LOL

If I want it, I choose it. If I don't choose it, I have to take responsibility for that choice, and live with the fact that I turned down an amazing chance because of fear - beacause the failure to choose is only because we are scared of making the wrong decision.

But the only wrong decision is leaving it up to "fate." ie: doing nothing.

Is this making sense?

I guess what I'm saying is YOU are the master of your life - not fate or destiny. You are where you are because of choices you have made, and you can change where you are now by making different choices.

Start now!
