Through the tough times...through the internal and external challenges I am thankful that :
1.) Spirit always brings me back to Its blessings...and my grateful heart
2.) the sound of wind and rain this morning as I woke up; it's had an intersting, calming affect on me... it reminds me of the family growing up.. everyone had something creative they were doing in the house..daddy in his wood shop, mom either baking bread or sewing....and it gave me a secure, warm and fuzzy feeling...and a sense of peace and connectness... a heart-glow that I've missed terribly.... but, I am thankful for this memory...and for this life with my parents, while I had them on Earth
3.) Native-American flute ...and its music
4.) cleansing, healing tears
5.) the nurturing energy of Nature ...the wind, the rain, the flowers, trees...birds, insects.. all of it; the sun..the moon.. bodies of water - all teach and nurture the soul

Day 23 /365
This Saturday day afternoon I'm snug as a bug in a rug at home... very thankful to have it; and my heart filled with radiating prayers for the people of Haiti... I am thankful ...
1.) that I can pray for them... "knowing" that prayer works; Dr. Jon Kabat-Zinn has studies proving this in his work; I am thankful that we as world citizens in various arenas of life have come together to support the Haitians in ways we can: through telethons, by donating $10 per First Lady Michelle Obama's appeal, donating to the Red Cross, the World Food Program
2.) that I'm balancing my life more...experiencing more of it off-line while appreciating the online community I'm a part of as well - balance is the key; I am thankful I listened to myself..and did that
3.) Create TV - a network dedicated to the sharing of passions - inspiration galore!
4.) the feeling of grounded satisfaction that creative expression gives me, be it crocheting, knitting, doll-making, collaging, writing... capturing inspirational whispers which always teach me something; it's indeed a marriage of art-making and soul expression
5.) the angels in my life...that always show up at the precise time I need them, to offer love, guidance, physical help, encouragement... Earth Angels are indeed a Godsend...and I thank you for being in my life

This morning's quiet time has tilled the soil of of my soul...and gratitude sprouts and blooms...evergreen. I am grateful for:
1.) the wee hours of the morning, arising early to expereince the quiet of the dawning day..and the dawning of my soul's messages
2.) dreaming...
3.) Creative Ideas that flooded me during this morning's writing
4.) healing on all levels .. and the many tools and resources and prayers that assist me in getting there ...healing is indeed a journey.. like a tour of the soul ...and keeping a travel journal is a key to the treasures of healing, revealing, light, and joy....and lots of goodies in between; I know this now more than ever. Thank you Spirit.
5.) encouragement from the Spirit of Creativity - to "grow"... "bring forth..." and "dream big" ...and "trust"...and "carry on..." -- I hear you... and I heed... and I am GLAD to do so. Thank you Spirit, for your encouragement.

A pause... a conscious breath in...and out... settling in and feeling the gratitude within; I am thankful for:
1.) paying attention to what works for me..as intuition and the "still small voice" directs...and honoring it

3.) the guidance, assurance, clarity I recieve from listening to and dialoguing with my Mandalas...and my other art-making; I am so grateful that "creatiivy as spiritual practice" is an inner-compass.. teaching and mentoring me...helping me unearth the treasure of my own self-love
4.) my thoughtful, generous SoulCollage-sister, Audrey Chowdhury...for sending me healing Reiki energy - thank you, thank you, thank you Audrey

Day 18 /365
Feeling Gratitude-Joy from my heart...through my bones...an in each breath... I am grateful for:
1.) the loving, protecting Radiant Presence I felt from the trees while on my nature walk, today and yesterday; and pausing to witness them in their glory...and to take-in, to breathe-in all the love they were beaming to me; I felt like they were holding Court for me... creating sacred, radiant space for my every step, for my life to bloom...and glow. I felt their love and protection. Thank you trees.
2.) "Between the Folds" a fascinating PBS television program on origami like I've never seen before! It was amazing, awesome..and makes you realize how the principle of origami is factored into our every day, i.e. air bags - the way they fold up into the dashboard .. yep, origami!
3.) seeing a campaign sign for a long time family friend, Ade Onayemi, who's running for local public office.. which I didn't know. That's good news for us all!
4.) the three pooches I encountered while on my walk... pure love with fur and four legs...that's what they are.. and I love 'em! ..and they love me to... (she said, giddily!)
5.) Tom Stone's C.O.R.E. technique for dis-integrating stress and anxiety - and my friend B.C. for introducing me to his work. It works.
