Another end-of-the-year activity I look forward to is the list of 100 things to be grateful for that year. In addition to the 100 things to be grateful for is a list of 100 things for which I acknowledge myself during the year….those things I accomplished when it wasn’t easy, fears I’ve overcome and places where I grew…even just a little, this year. This exercise was given to me by my dear friend, life coach, Rhonda Britten (way back before she was famous.) It proved to be a very powerful tool for self-acceptance and living in the energy of gratitude. It closes out the year on an energetic upswing, helps me own my power and sets me up to create a fabulous new year.

I recomend it highly.  So get out your notebook or yellow legal tablet and just start it.  It may seem overwhelming at first, but just start with one…then another one will come…then another.  It doesn’t have to be huge, monumental things.  The small blessings are just as important.  It’s when we acknowledge our blessings in this way that we begin to see how amazing our life really is and how fabulous we really are. And when we do that, we cannot help but attract even more.

My Gratitudes for today…

I am grateful that my kids love the winter break camp they’re in and both are getting to experience how joyful it can be to help kids who are younger or have special needs. It warms my heart.

I am grateful for the conversation with my husband and his understanding and support of me.

I am grateful that everything is falling into place in a perfectly synchronistic way.

I am grateful.
