The Most Wonderful time of the Year

Close your eyes, and think of someone or something ( could be an experience ) that you are really grateful for. Really focus on your gratitude for that person, experience, blessing. Let the feeling of gratitude fill your heart and your body. Okay, stop reading and do that right now for at least 15 seconds or more!
 
Did you do it? …. Did you really do it?? If yes, then you can keep reading ☺
 
How did you feel when you felt the person or experience you thought of? I bet you feel a bit lighter now, maybe even a happy, warm, excitement, pure love….
 
This is one of the, if not, THE most important thing in life. Feeling this. Feeling grateful for the things and people that surround you RIGHT NOW. Feeling grateful for the experiences and relationships you have and have had that helped you grow and brought you joy. Feeling grateful for that kick-ass body, mind, and SPIRIT of yours.
 
You are the reason you are alive and experiencing life right now. Your spirit made the choice to come here, to Earth, to be with all of us. And while you keep yourself alive by feeding your body with nourishment and your mind with loving thoughts, as well as attracting all of the blessings that you have, it’s our relationships with others that make us stronger and allow us to live fully.
 
Something that was difficult for me to do in this lifetime was ask for, and accept help from others. I really convinced myself I was super woman ( could be the reason I am always drawn to super hero costumes for Halloween, ha!)!
But, life really is made easier when you allow other people to help you, guide you, and contribute to your evolution. Life is made sweeter when you let someone love you and you let yourself love them. The world is made stronger when you give someone the opportunity to share their gifts with you and to lift you up; this begins an energetic chain reaction that positively affects those around you.
 
To me, this time really is the most wonderful time of the year because the awareness of how blessed we are is magnified, and oh baby does that make us feel good It’s actually a truth that is present at every season, it just seems that this season it fills the air a bit more than others.
 
We are all so blessed with so much love around us through people and experiences that we ALREADY have. When we become aware of this, we are reminded of what keeps us alive, why we are here, and what really matters; and that my friends … is love.
 
Love is the most beautiful gift we could ever experience. Gratitude is right there next to it! How good do you feel when you allow yourself to move your ego to the side, forgive anyone or any experience that has hurt you, and just feel the gratitude for that person, experience, and time in your life?
 
How good do you feel when you push your ego to the side and allow yourself to feel grateful for the body that you have, the things you already possess, the phase that you’re in right now, where you are living, the relationships you have right now … it is, as if, all of your worries vanish, and in that moment you are giving yourself the greatest gift – love. This is what is real. This is what is true.
 
So today, and every day that you remember, because Lord knows we ALL need reminders, remember how blessed you are right now … because you are. Make an effort to reach out to people who have touched your life and TELL THEM that they have. There is nothing more beautiful than giving love to someone by expressing how much they mean to you, and vice versa. This simple act of a call, email, text, or card has the power to heal someone’s heart, heal a family, heal a friendship, and most of all, heal the world. Every time you give love, the planet feels it. You are healing it with every “I love you,” “I care about you,” “I forgive you,” “thank you,” etc.
 
If you aren’t able to be around family often, especially around the holidays, skype them, call a friend, ask the Universe, Mother Earth, and Father Sky, to send you the perfect person/people to spend the holidays with ( animals/nature included! ), and leave the details up to the angels around you to arrange a wonderful moment this weekend.
 
Be in the moment! Soak it all up. You’ve been given so many riches in your life and you are continuing to attract them now. Breathe in the free, beautiful air around you to fill your body with relaxation and life. This will bring you into the moment. You are loved and appreciated.
 
My dad sends a truly heartfelt email of thanks to his employees every year at Thanksgiving, and he usually shares it with us as well. One thing that he wrote in his email this year was: “Always remember that the strength of a family should never be underestimated. Family will always be there for you, I encourage all of you to make contact with your family this Thanksgiving and tell them simply that you are thinking about them over this festive time (as a parent and grandparent I know how much that means).”
 
No matter who makes up your family whether it is friends, pets, lovers, blood-related family, or “angels,” let them know how much they mean to you, because you mean a lot to them ☺
 
 
I am so grateful to you for reading my blogs. It really fills my heart to write and I feel so lucky that you are interested in reading them ☺
 
Have a wonderful Day!
 
All of my love,
