Gratitude Friday

4 Replies

This post started as a mashup of The Little Bliss List and Joy Jam, and as such is meant to celebrate: the little things that brought me hope and happiness this week, the sweet stuff of life, those small gifts that brought me joy this week. By sharing them, I not only make public my gratitude, but maybe also help you notice your own good stuff and send some positive energy out into the world.

1. Books. I just finished The One and Only Ivan and A Kiss Before You Go. I am still reading Living Beautifully with Uncertainty and Change, Help Thanks Wow, and Radical Acceptance, and plan to start The Wishing Year later today. And, I just bought Crazy Sexy Diet and preordered Natalie Goldberg’s new book, The True Secret of Writing. I love reading.

2. 27 Days: Writing Prompts to Grow Your Powers!. I don’t really have time to do this right now, but I miss Laurie, miss being in a class with her, miss her constant and vibrant voice and support, and a few other friends signed up, so even though I might be collecting these and doing them on a much slower schedule, I’m in. I love Laurie and writing.

3. New Girl. This show makes me laugh, and if you can make me laugh, I love you instantly and madly. I love Zooey Deschanel.

How could anyone resist her?

4. Signs of Spring. It was sunny and so warm yesterday, and tomorrow it’s supposed to snow at least six inches. I love spring in Colorado.

5. The Red Table, and the sweetest friend to sit there with. I love Yay Turkey and Chloe’.

Bonus Joy: Another week with Dexter. Even at almost ten years old, with cancer and a knee injury, he’s still living a good life and happy to be here. I love Dexter.

Illuminate Your Heart Whispers: 30 Days of Love Prompts

One of my kind and gentle readers has put together something special, and invited me to be a part of it (and you!). Joy, of Facets of Joy, has put together a 30-day ecourse, called Illuminate Your Heart Whispers: 30 Days of Love Prompts. She explains it this way,

You will receive one love prompt per day; “a dare”–a message that invites mind to consider, and heart to open to, depth in familiar and/or contemplation of something new and unfamiliar. The intention is that as you contemplate the meaning and absorb the feeling of each message, you will be inspired to gently stretch (or boldly leap! *grin*). Each message is written by a different author–people who reflect infinite possibility, fiery spirit, bold love, pure joy. Perhaps you will discover a new voice that resonates (perhaps it will be your own!), a practice that enlivens, connections that enrich as they affirm and amplify your current beliefs and practices. Perhaps you will experience a depth and range of love beyond that which you currently know. Perhaps love will move you, when you choose to collaborate with it.

Like I always say, the answer to every question is love, and there can always be more love.

There’s an amazing list of collaborators and free gifts, and if you register today, you get the course for a discounted rate of $24! See you there? ♥
