Thanksgiving just passed. And I’m thinking of all the blessings in my life. However, I usually find things that I am grateful for regularly. So let’s start with the basics. My family. My friends. Having wonderful people I care about in my life. My amazing husband. He works hard to make sure that we have a great life. My parents. They’re always there for me no matter what. My siblings. My fun, crazy, loving siblings. They make me laugh. Our family dog, Butterball!! So precious. Love how he will only want to sleep with us on our beds. My extended family - aunts, uncles, cousins. Boy they are so much fun! I’m happy that I have a job!! Yes, a job that is totally chill and gives me the income I need. I’m happy that I have a passion and goal in life. It’s what keeps me going. I’m grateful for all the people and resources in my path that have helped shape my skills into what it is now. Grateful that I’m already done with school. Boy am I glad that I don’t have to take tests like that anymore! Grateful for getting our new car!! We needed one badly months ago, so we put it out there, kept the faith, and ended up receiving a car that was better than expected! Loved the whole process of it! Grateful for all the wonderful trips I’ve taken and cultural experiences I’ve had. Next trip for me is France and I can’t wait!!! I am so thankful that I am aware and that I have control of myself and my emotions. That I know for sure that I can create my own reality. That is one thing that I’m super appreciative about. Also all the spiritual teachers and masters that have helped me understand life and make it the best. So grateful for all the wonderful insight and wisdom that I’ve come across in the past several years. Books, DVDs, websites…all mixing within this mind of mine and appreciating the common message of everything which comes down to love. Yes, love. It’s what matters. It’s the Truth. It’s the only reality and all we gotta do is decide to live in it and be a part of it. Because it’s who we are. It’s our source. Love. Joy. Abundance. Yep. I’m grateful for all these wonderful feelings, emotions, and experiences that this earthly life brings.

Long vast stretches of doors
It’s quiet and dim
There’s no one here but
me.
I try to open them
But they are locked
I am stuck
In this endless hall.
I start banging on them
One by one
But no one answers
I get scared.
I finally give up
And look up to heaven
And cry
Pleading for help.
As I wipe the tears
I turn my head
Seeing a light
Only a faint glimmer.
Walking near it
I see the door
Cracked open
I push it even more.
The light illuminates
Everything in its way
I cannot see
What’s on the other side.
But I step through
Because it is the only way
Then I think
Was it open this whole time?
