I am grateful for “nearly”: a pigeon nearly pooped on me.

Playing tourist at 7am in Denver :)))

I am grateful for the wonderful, delicious energy and the delightful beings!

Focusing on gratitude can be like gold panning. The pan is filled with dirt and water a lot more than filled with gold. The focus determines what is seen…

I am in class, stretching my comfort zone, changing. It’s gritty and muddy. And I am grateful for the awarenesses I receive from all this. 

What is your gold today?

I am grateful for meeting new amazing beings and practicing playing with new energies.

I was pondering on gratitude and nothing was coming up. So I asked my roommate: what are you grateful for today? She replied and her replied inspired me and allowed me to connect with what I am grateful for. So I wonder who could you ask what they are grateful for to, in order to increase gratitude for you?

I love being inspired. To me being inspired is like being deeply, truly alive. I am grateful for those inspiring words from Christel Crawford:

“As you are trying to expand the visibility of your business, what can you contribute to people to actually give them the tools to be more of what they’d like to be… … What can you put out there that would contribute to people having what you’re having?”

I am not exactly expanding my business other than the business of my happy life. And what Christel wrote makes me notice when I share the things I know with people. Like talking about communicating with our body with the person sitting next to me on the plane. I wonder what that will create in his world… Even if nothing shows up for him, for me, the expression on his face when his eyes looked like saucers was priceless!

Happy, thank you, more please!

I am excited. I love being excited. I didn’t use to get excited about stuff. I am so grateful this has changed!

In the plane, I watched the movie “about time”. At the end of the movie, the main character who can travel through time, relives his day a second time exactly the same but while appreciating every little details more. And then he learns to appreciate the little details the first time around. I am grateful for this inspiring movie. 

What little detail can we appreciate today to add to our lives?

My heart feels tender: I am leaving France. 

At the same time, I am excited to be coming home. 

I am grateful for the nostalgia in my heart because it means my heart is open. I am willing to experience this as it is from all the wonderful moments I have spent in the last 10 days connecting with family and friends. 

Yesterday, I was noticing how privileged I am. That led me to research the guilt of being privileged. 

I get stuck in trying to justify being privileged while others are not. I realized that no matter what I come up with as an explanation to privilege, it doesn’t matter. What matters is “acknowledge it, appreciate it, don’t judge others, and do the best you can with what you’ve got.” (Pete Michaud)

I am privileged. I can choose between feeling guilty about this or just accepting and appreciating so that I can have a positive ripple effect around me.

I am still feeling guilty for being privileged sometimes but I am working on it. 

I am grateful I am privileged.
