Today as I sit outside and enjoy the morning sounds I’m grateful. I’m grateful for so manyyyy things it’s hard to even begin to share all of them.
That being said, I also am going thru one of the most difficult times in my life right now where it feels like everything is coming against me at once. I mean, really, can I catch a break, please?
Even in all that turmoil, I still stay focused on the things I’m grateful for. Do you know why? Because gratitude is the absolute highest frequency and vibration out there. Gratitude brings things your way to be grateful for. For example, yesterday after something I had to do, that I didn’t want to, but was grateful for the opportunity, I was craving a fruit bowl. So I went to the place, Nektar in Jax beach(amazing stuff) anyway, the lady in front of me had a coupon she couldn’t use and gave it to me. My fruit bowl was FREE! I didn’t earn it, I didn’t ask for it, I just was grateful for the ability to be there and receive it.
Gratitude opens our hearts up for receiving in life. Receiving everything you’ve ever hoped for is God’s desire for you. So, even in your struggles, remember to be grateful for every little thing. They become the big things over time. Love to you!

Well, today is the last day of the teens of this century and what a year it's been. Heck, What a decade! So much has happened it's mind boggling.
This last year was a difficult one but also one of the best in recent history. There's been lots of life lessons and painful growth. It's all been worth it. This year my son and I moved to a new city, St. Augustine Florida which we absolutely love. My son started middle school after being homeschooled for 3 years, and what a good decision that was! He's loving it. I also found a new passion that I thought I would never have. Exercise. Cycling for hours and going fast makes my heart smile. Thanks Kenny for bringing that to my life, I am so grateful.
Even with all that craziness and change, one thing didn't change. We still held a healthy lifestyle and food choices and lived as chemical free as possible in our home.
This year also brought many lessons. Life lessons, personal lessons, relationship lessons. You name it, I got tons of lessons this year. I am ever grateful for every single one! Lots of tears, journaling and oils and even meditation got me through. Stronger, better, more, ME! These lessons are shedding the old beliefs and defense mechanisms I have carried since childhood. Things I thought I would always do and be. Well, with awareness you can get a grip on the crap you do and change it and the behavior for the better. Is it hard, yes. Does it hurt, definitely. Is it worth it, ABSOLUTELY! One thing this year has taught me is that you should never underestimate the power of being quiet. Not everything needs to be said and it's ok. That was soo freeing and a wise soul who I love very much helped me grasp that concept.
As this new year comes tomorrow, I am ready. Ready for the new fresh year. A year, a decade of new beginnings. Dreams to pursue and goals to chase. During this process, this journey we call life, I will remain grateful in all circumstances. You know why, because it feels better. I can go thru the darkest of tunnels but with gratitude, the light is always visible at the end. I like that. I have so much to be grateful for that it's overwhelming. God is soo good and it's a choice to see the good or bad in situations. I've done both and I choose gratitude.
That all being said, I wish everyone a very happy new year and decade with a heart full of hope and a willingness to become who you are meant to be. Be blessed.
Casey
