Gearing up on Gratitude

Last month, we delved into the joy of gratitude and gathering, exploring the power of meaningful connections and giving thanks for all that surrounds us. By doing so, we shift our focus from what is lacking to what is present, fostering a positive outlook and cultivating a deep sense of fulfillment. Personally, I have experienced this sense of fulfillment at my core, and it warms my heart. Despite the daily stress that exists in my life (and surely in yours as well), I have learned to absorb the beauty of friends, family, and laughter. I now focus on my desires and goals, and I take action to move forward. Embracing gratitude has allowed me to create a foundation for transformation, propelling myself to the next level.

In my conversations with others, I've realized that we could all use reminders to embrace gratitude, to slow down, and to be grounded with our blessings. So, how about we make a commitment to each other? Let's take note of the simple abundances in life. Will you join me in this endeavor? Take a moment each day to appreciate the gift of good health that enables you to pursue your dreams and ambitions. Cherish the nurturing relationships that uplift and inspire you. Find solace and gratitude in the safe and comfortable place you call home. By recognizing and embracing these blessings, you can cultivate a deep sense of gratitude that will fill your heart and guide you towards what comes next.

One aspect I truly love is our ability to align ourselves with the universe and the Moon phases to aid in our growth. On August 1st, the Full Sturgeon Moon, a powerhouse of energy, arrives, centered around Harvesting and Abundance. It's the perfect opportunity to give thanks for the simple abundance in our lives and communicate our desires and aspirations to the world, striving to be our best and live our best. This may involve slowing down to appreciate the small things we often overlook or pursuing a goal that we feel hesitant about due to the unknown. The moon allows us to both give thanks and sow the seeds for a fruitful future. I am excited about the intentions I am putting out into the worldโ€”it feels like a thrilling rush of energy.

Now, to give you an extra push in your personal growth and transformation journey, I present a three-month challenge starting this August. Get excited! This challenge is designed to help you make small changes that will lead to significant transformations. Here's how it works: Each day, take a few moments to reflect on the things you are grateful for. Consider keeping a gratitude journal or sharing your gratitude with loved ones. Seek out opportunities to express appreciation in both your personal and professional life. By cultivating a mindset of gratitude, you will pave the way for positive change and become a new, empowered version of yourself. We firmly believe in your ability to make small changes that will lead to remarkable transformations.

Together, let us embrace gratitude, practice mindfulness, and take small steps towards creating a brighter future for ourselves and those around us. Remember, this is all about the collective community we inhabit. Let us feel the accountability and recognize that the power to change lies within us. As we embark on this growth journey, let us support and uplift one another. Share your experiences, insights, wins, and losses with the community by DMing us on social or replying back to this email. We are here to help, empower, and love each other through every step of this journey.

It is truly my belief that we are meant to live fully, lead with love, and constantly evolve. There is magic in what we can achieve when we embrace these practices, share with one another, and commit to being our best and doing our best.
