What are you thankful for?

How often do you stop to acknowledge your blessings in life? The holiday season is a time that many of us reflect on the past year and the things we are thankful for in our lives. But is that enough? What if you started each and every day from a place of gratitude?

I challenge you to commit to beginning each day in 2011 acknowledging at least one thing that you are thankful for. As you do this, you will likely find that you begin to shift to a more positive outlook on a daily basis. It may not come easily at first – post a reminder to yourself -or start a “gratitude journal”…..every day adding at least one new entry to your list.

Start with the little things…..are you thankful for a sunny day…a good night’s sleep…a kiss from a loved one…..or something you accomplished. Today I began my day full of gratitude for a new year full of promise…feeling the excitement of all of the possibilities in the coming year. As we shift to become more conscious of all of the gifts in our lives, we begin to feel better about ourselves and those around us.

Consciously starting each day from a place of gratitude is truly life changing! Take the challenge – see how your life can change!

Welcome!

A miracle….my first blog! As a current participant in the on-line course “Designed By the Light”, ( hosted by best selling author Debbie Ford), our weekly assignment….to “find a miracle”. Five or six years ago, I would never have guessed that I would now be a certified integrative coach writing my very first blog! Nor would I have guessed that I would find my passion….that of coaching and serving others.

My path to find this joy in my life started in 2005 when I attended a “Shadow Workshop” – a life changing experience that I would highly recommend. Next scheduled workshop is February 2011 in San Francisco if you think it might be right for you.

The shadow process helps us to understand how we view ourselves and others and why we react the way that we do to the events and circumstances in our lives. You can learn more about the “shadow” – through checking out the upcoming workshop or by viewing the trailer of a movie “The Shadow Effect” by Deepak Chopra, Debbie Ford and Maryanne Williamson. To explore this go to this link http://www.thefordinstitute.com/?Click=35 and click on The Shadow Effect Movie

Is it the right time for YOU to find your joy? I look forward to sharing thoughts and ideas in future blog entries as we journey together. Thank you for being here with me!
