The Key Elements of Gratitude

Well it has been a while since I have written. Caught up in the holiday joy. All is well. I hope each of you have had a great holiday and continue to enjoy the holiday season. It truly is the time of joy, gratitude and abundance.

I channeled this piece the other day and wanted to share it with you.

Gratitude, Abundance and Manifestation are all connected.

Let’s start with gratitude. Being grateful for what you have is a key point. Gratitude is not only being grateful for your physical and material things but also grateful for your challenges and obstacles as well as blessings. When you are truly living in a state of gratitude then anything is possible. The more grateful you are, the more you can come from a place of love.

Key elements of living a life of gratitude are forgiveness, of others and particularly yourself. When you are being right, holding on to something blaming or angry at someone or yourself, there is no love present in that moment. When love is not present, we are not in a state of gratitude and there for halt the manifesting of our desires.

We exist moment by moment and there for create moment by moment. Expressing your gratitude for a moment is only that. It is an ongoing creation. So is forgiveness, compassion and understanding. It is all created by the moment, When you ongoingly express gratitude the universe gives you more to be grateful for. If you are having difficulty being grateful for a person or situation, then look at where you could bring compassion, forgiveness, understanding, grace or love. When love is not present, give something up and then be grateful for the lesson learned.

Everything that is handed to us is a lesson of gratitude. If you can be grateful for the things in your life you love, then you can be grateful for the things in your life you don’t love. It is all a choice. I didn’t ask for cancer, but I am grateful at the lessons I learned out of it. If you can express your gratitude daily, you will have more peace of mind. Many use Thanksgiving as an opportunity to express gratitude, but what if you expressed it everyday. Your life will be filled with love.

Sometimes people do or say things that make us angry and we hold on to that anger. The faster you can come from forgiveness, compassion and gratitude, the faster you will have peace within.


When you are full of gratitude, there is a lightness about you. Gratitude is from love.Returning to love is key. If you are always coming from love then the universe will expand your awareness.

Abundance is all around us. The more grateful you are, the more abundance you can bring in. Abundance is energy, You either live in a world of abundance or a world of lack. You can not live in the in between. Again it is moment by moment. This moment you may be in a state of abundance and in a moment tomorrow you may live in a state of lack. It is always a choice. The more you focus on abundance, the more abundance grows. The more you focus on lack, the more lack grows. Abundance is love, joy and gratitude based and lack is fear based. When you are in a state of lack, the energy of abundance can not flow freely.

Abundance is not something that is limited to only a few people. It is available to everyone any one at any time.

In fact, if you look in your day to day life, abundance exists everywhere, even in the subconscious. There is also an abundance of friends, love, creativity. Abundance does not necessarily equate monetary wealth but it could.

When in gratitude, you have an abundance of joy, of courage, of grace, of harmony, or balance, You have an abundance of happiness, bliss and love. When you live there, you can then begin the beautiful power of manifesting the things you desire. Even the material things come to fruition from a state of gratitude.

Some people think that by wishing for something, it will manifest. While that is partly true to some extent, there are other factors at play.

So you are living a life of gratitude, you bring in an abundance of joy, love and peace, now what.

Well the higher and closer you are to living a life of joy the easier and faster that you will be able to manifest. Joy comes from gratitude.

So you could say, the more grateful you are the more you can manifest. Tweak your gratitude and all the things you are grateful for and see your life take off. Let go of resistance, anger and fear and see your heart open.
Manifesting is simple. It is a powerful intention that comes forth. It may not happen instantaneously but what ever you give your thoughts to will grow. The more you forgive, the more you create the more you come from love, the more you will manifest


Hope this gives you something to think about. Gratitude is the key to living a life of joy, abundance, manifestation and miracles.

Create a miracle today...

Life is a Joy

Life is a gift. It truly is. I feel very blessed to have the life, the family, the friends and the work I do. No matter what you are dealing with, it is a gift. I have been handed so many gifts and obstacles in the last few weeks. But remembering to return to love has kept me in an amazing space. All there is-- is love..

Count your blessings not your distractions. Count what you are grateful for not what annoys you. Count your moments rather than your fears.

I am so clear that life is meant to be L-I-V-E-D. Be Alive. I am finding myself laughing at situations rather than reacting, I am finding myself excited to get out of bed and the work day, I am finding myself not worried. It is a totally different space. There is a peace and freedom inside this new change.

Even being recently diagnosed with a staff infection (I AM DOING GREAT), There is a huge sense of peace. Some pain, but peace. (No worries, I really am healing nicely) and will be able to go home for Thanksgiving to be with my family.

I am so grateful for the life, people and friends I have. Living moment by moment. Life is so filled with beauty if you take time to notice it. Life is filled with abundance if you take time to notice it. Life is a joy.

Wanted to share that with you today. You can live a life of joy! There is nothing nothing worth being angry, upset about. Life is meant to be joyful. It is a choice.

Embrace yourself, be grateful for who you are, what you have and the difference you make. Start noticing life's little blessings.

Expressing Gratitude

As we are approaching Thanksgiving, the message of gratitude is becoming stronger and stronger. I think I have posted some on this subject already but it is getting increasingly strong.

Be grateful for who you are, the people in your life, the lessons you are learning, the gifts you are given. Take time to love the people in your life, to honor them, to forgive, to create, to share, to bring joy, to heal, to laugh.

Remember, we are all one. Be grateful for the people around you, they are in your life for a reason.

I invite you to look at what you are grateful for. You are alive on the planet at this time. You have contributed so much. You are loved. Focus on the things that you are grateful for rather than the things that you are afraid of.

The sunsets. Beautiful friends and family. The way music makes me feel. My cat. There is so much to be grateful for. Have this be the year and the time where you can express your thanks, your gratitude and your love. Cease wars in your families, with your job and with friends. Bring love and light.

The message of gratitude is one to be honored year round. We tend to look at it mostly around thanks giving. What if you did your gratitude list each night before you went to bed. You would wake up in a different space. What if you forgave each night before you went to bed, your heart would be full. There are so many things to be grateful for.

allow your cup to runneth over with gratitude....

Raising the Vibration

Today we move up the scale to Throat Chakra and add it to the Heart until March/April. So we will be encompassing both energies for a few months. This is a good thing but it makes it more and more critical to follow your heart and it makes it more painful when you don't

Don't waste your time around negative situations or people. Surround yourself with beauty and love. Don't dwell on negative thoughts or situations. Bring light to where you are. It is truly up to you. Now more than ever is time to come from 100% love. Don't hold anything in, don't hold judgments, resentments or anger toward yourself or others. Keep returning to love. In love, all things grow....

We are all born love, then something happens.Now is the time to return yourself to love.

For now, focus on being love and light, no matter what life throws at you. As we move into this energy, there will be shifts. It's all good.

We are in the dawning or a new era.....

Life's Curveballs

Sometimes life hands you things unexpectedly.Sometimes even from left field. Then you are expected to deal with it. How you deal with it is up to you. One way is to react, another is to not react. We don't have a say at what life hands us, but we do have a say at how we handle it.

The faster you let go, the faster you have peace. The sooner you forgive the sooner you have joy. The less you react the less stressed you are. It really is up to you. A lesson I learned a few years ago in dealing with the recurrence of Cancer is that there is nothing nothing nothing worth getting upset over. Ultimately, when you are upset, there is an absence of love, whether it is of self or another. I remember when this woman Karen told me this, I was dumbfounded. If there is nothing worth getting upset over, why am I upset. Although I am human, and we all get upset, there is nothing worth the cost of joy.

Living reaction free is not always easy but it is beneficial. When you can really master that, life can throw some loopholes and you can come to a place of peace very quickly. Every day is a new day as every moment is a new moment and you get to choose.

No one can make you happy nor can they upset you. You react how you react. Happiness is from within. No external circumstance can create happiness.. Ie all the riches in the world. Nor can anyone or anything take that away. It is all a game.

So when life throws you a curve ball, shout YIPPEE, it is another opportunity to grow, to learn and to be.

Laugh Out Loud

laughter is the best remedy and the best medicine. When life gets you down, laugh. Watch a funny movie, sing, anything that gets laughter running through you.

The more you laugh and the more you have fun....the greater life is. Don't be so significant. Life is meant to be joyful. Seek the Joy. Seek the joy!

When all else gets you down, laugh, be happy and be alive.

That is what life is about.

Forgiveness

sometimes when things show up in life, it is a sign from the universe to be handled. It seems as if the universe is wanting me to work on forgiveness some.

I had someone in my life who a few years ago took money from me. I have not thought about it in a while but it has shown up recently in my space. I tried to resist it, think about other things and pretend it wasn't there.

It was tonight in a conversation with my friend Denise that what I needed to do was forgive. UGH. AGAIN. I had already done that a while ago. But it showed up again for what ever reason for me to deal with. So I thought about it. I could confront him. I could let it go. I could forgive.

I lit some candles, diffused some oil and just did some deep breathing imagining everything being released to the universe to get transmutated.

I feel like I let alot go. There may still be some residual but it is definitely lighter. When you can get yourself to a place of forgiveness, there is a peace within.

It isn't for the other person, I didn't talk to him, I just breathed and asked the universe to heal my wounds.

Forgiveness is the key to love, joy and peace.

If there is anything you are holding on to, forgive them for you, not them.

The Magical world we live in.

We live in a truly magical world. Our own thoughts, fears and doubts are what is in the way of moving forward. That is it. Nothing else.

It is time of change and there is a lot happening on the planet. I am excited about it, nervous about it.

But there is a catapulting leap forward in evolution that is awakening a new humanity.

We are manifesting faster than ever, we are creating more outrageous things, we are tuned in and more connected and we are living and creating a live we love.

What could go wrong?

Our own self sabotage. We sabotage ourselves so that we don't succeed. We sabotage with thoughts, feelings and doubts.

When something is going great, we have to do something to create chaos. law of nature.


But in reality, we live in a magical world, where dreams are realities, and passion is a priority.



All there is to know our greatness, create and let the universe give.

Money is Energy

Money is energy. Energy creates money. We only have what we create. We only create what our mind allows us. The limitations we have are set by us and are only broken down when they are distinguished.

If you knew you could create the money you want and there were no limitations except what you place on yourself, what would you do.

We think of money as a lack or survival mode. But if you got the level money is energy and based on your thoughts, you would be amazed at what you could create.

Money is limitless.. Money is attraction.... Money is abundance...... Money is only a conversation and depending on the conversation you have, depends on how much money you have.

The good news is you have the power to alter it! You are not stuck with your money conversation. The more energy you put into creating a good vibration, the more money you have. Money is Energy. The better the energy. The better the cash flow.

Since we have all had to deal with this. I invited someone to be on my Radio Show to empower people around money.

Tuesday, 11/9 Empower hour Radio Show has Financial Alchemist Kevra Unger to explain how to create mad, crazy cash flow coming into your life.

It is time for you to create the money you want in your life.

Got Idea?

New Ideas are a dime a dozen. We rarely think new thoughts. Most of our thoughts have been handed down from generation to generation. Even the books we read are old theories said again, not necessarily in a new way even.

It is very rare to have an innovative thinker today. Someone who thinks for themselves, outside the box.

What would it take for YOU to be that thinker? It would take being present, being creative, thinking new ideas and putting them into action.

There is no difference than you and the most brilliant person; except they fought to think.


We rely on internet, and other forms of communication rather than doing the thinking as a whole. Not everyone so if does not fit for you, it does not fit.

I invite you to be the next innovator of ideas in your life. You are the creator of your life afterall!

Living in the Moment..

So picture this, I am going to Rite- Aid on Sunday (Halloween) and there are boxes everywhere. I go back Monday and no more Halloween stuff, you guessed it...Christmas stuff....

11/1 and the Christmas decorations are over flowing.... My streets are already decorated, people already have wreaths up. Unbelievable.

Then tonight I see a commercial for Michael Jackson's Cirque du Solei for April 2012, yes you read that right, 2012, and tickets go on sale TOMORROW!

What every happened to being in the moment?

It used to be the day after Thanksgiving, which marks the first day of Christmas Season, decorations would fly up. Now it is 7 1/2 weeks away. I guess it is a reminder to shoppers to shop early.

And as for the tickets to Cirque Du Solei... I would like to see it but getting it for April 2011 is far away enough but 2012????

So for me, I am content living in the moment. Life is short, make each moment last....

Creation is the Joy of Life

Life isn't about finding yourself, it is about creating yourself.

It is louder and louder and clearer and clearer that it is time to live a created life. A life that you have never imagined. A life full of joy, bliss, happiness and freedom. I life that is worry and stress free.

So if it is up to you to create, what are you creating? A life you love? More money that you imagined? that juicy delicious relationship? Get creative.

You can't wait for your circumstances to align to do this. You must be proactive in causing and creating your life now.

When your intentions are aligned, it is easy and you will be amazed and the velocity of which things happen.

Set your Intentions. Be specific. Let go of the where, when and how.

Focus on the outcome, not the obstacles.....

Lemons and Life

When life hands you lemons...... Make margaritas! So life has handed alot of lemons lately. I went from loving all people, to hating the world, to eating chocolate, to wanting to hibernate, to loving life, to launching The Empower Hour Radio Show to creating a new platform. All in about 3 days.

When you get down, know that it is temporary. Sometimes we need to get down to get things in perspective. The challenge is just to not stay there. Keep focusing on the outcome not the challenge. It is all a lesson.

Sometimes life hands you things to deal with, in that moment. You always have a choice to suffer, breakthrough, take it full force or not, embrace it or transform it.

There's alot to say about being empowered as your main focus.

So life is rocking...... The bumps in the road were wakeup calls essentially to make you aware. Life doesn't happen in our minds, it happens in reality.

The more empowered you are, the more you will flourish in your endeavors. It alone raises your vibration. Higher vibration, higher the rewards.

So drink your margarita, eat your chocolate and get back up on the horse.

No time like the present!
