THANKFUL THURSDAY

Today let’s explore a few personal developments that have occurred that I am very thankful for.

1) Sarah Ban Breathnach’s book “Simple Abundance”

which was gifted to me back in 1996 was my sole guide to a simpler way to live life.  Reading it’s daily observations, at night in bed just before slumber took over my reality, I journeyed to places where my most authentic self resided. Rediscovering who I really am and what is most important to me.  Since that time I have been purging myself of things that were accumulated, and holding fast to the desire to become in life who I have always been in my sole. Thus throwing off the shackles which had bound me to other’s perceptions and rules for life.  I have gone through a metamorphosis over the past 12 or so years and am now only a few months away from getting back to the life and lifestyle that truly calls to me.  Check out Sarah’s website Simple Abundance for a real treat.  For Sarah’s book, and that year I spent traversing its pages, what that revealed to me and how it empowered me, I am thankful.  I am very close now to finaly realizing the dreams it inspired in me, and for that I am very thankful.

2) Belleruth Naparstek’s “Guided Imagery”CD “Confidence”.  What can I say?  I spent a couple sessions with a client and friend of mine who gives guided imagery sessions.  I needed to purge myself of the pain I was carting around in my heart over the many losses in my life.  I couldn’t get back on track because I was overloaded with sorrow and anger.  It all  seemed so  unfair.  My friend’s session instantly opened up flood gates from which my pain and sorrow and anger gushed from my heart out into some unknown abyss, leaving me feeling fully cleansed and somewhat raw in side.  She turned me on to Belleruth’s CD, “Confidence” which I played non stop in my truck for a good month after the guided imagery session.  I began to feel free, and light, and happy inside.  Basically I reprogrammed my mind. Instead of playing my minds broken records over and over, I immersed myself in the good things that are presented on the CD.  I began to think in the quality manner of the CD’s message. I am thankful for my friends help, she sat through a very intimate and emotional passage of time with me and has never judged me by what was revealed.  She truly in her own heart just wanted to be there for me at that time.  I am thankful for the CD and that people like my friend and Belleruth Naperstek are out there helping people help themselves.

3) I am thankful for my room mate and friend, Rebecca, who has purchased my business and offered to help me move at the end of this coming June.  She, having let me live in her home these past few months, has opened up the doors allowing me to put myself in a position to finally make my move to Colorado where I endeavor to create my own version of Simple Abundance, with complete confidence.  Thank you Rebecca.

Rebecca and her mare Sophie on our ride into the San Tan mountains.  I took this photo while sitting on Kindlewood during her first trail ride.  It holds some very dear memories of my good friends, both two legged and four legged,  and our great time together.  Thank you for this moment in time.

Now for some simple things I am thankful for.  Last nights sound sleep, the lemon grass and corn soup I had this morning - yummm, and the realization that Pai’s tree is getting paid off and is finally within my grasp.  I love looking upon my Alaskan clay bear, wolf, and eagle,  and my Fire Pony ceramic. Waking up to Dragon’s good morning look into my eyes is something I look forward to every morning, and there is nothing like walking out into the morning air and receiving hugs and nuzzles from my horses every morning. 

I am thankful this morning just because it feels good to experience thankfulness and helps to put everything in perspective, it lifts the weightt of the burdens we carry and leaves us with the feeling that all is good. As it should be.
