WELL, its been an interesting week for me, to say the least. Many things are swirling around in my head, tugging on the tethers of my marriage, and making me think (albeit a bit too much).
BUT, I am reminded that when we are grateful and focusing on that gratitude (not just leaving it as a general undercurrent) that we will manifest more of what we are grateful for! Watch this great video if you want to see something inspiring and thought-provoking. Its by a fellow "Co-Creator" and I think it is worth sharing.
This week I am Grateful and Smiling about:
1. Steiner Schools (Waldorf in the USA): We visited one of the larger (and very impressive!) Steiner schools here in the UK, which is called the Michael Hall School. It was very inspiring and we met loads of lovely people, teachers and students alike. It is a school system that takes a very holistic approach to childhood and education, and I for one am so happy that they exist. I appreciate anything that is Idealistic and asks us to raise the bar towards a balanced future.
2. Safety: Well I am just so grateful that I am safe in this country and that my family are well and cared for. A little British girl has allegedly been abducted in Portugal while her family was on a holiday. The whole nation is praying for her and I am envisioning her "found." It has brought up my maternal instincts, along with some controversy (the parents weren't with her when she was taken, the police haven't seemed to be very adept, etc.). I am just so grateful that my beloved son is safe and I have hugged him a bit more tightly this week for sure.
3. Subjectivity: Weird one, I know, but sometimes working out your challenges in a subjective manner is the best way to go. I pride myself on being able to balance Objectivity and Subjectivity, though sometimes I wonder. This week I have figured out a piece of the puzzle towards manifesting perfect health. I got the results back from a food intolerance blood test, which confirmed some things for me. I believe more and more that a person's diet is very Subjective, and that no doctor, nutritionist, or health guru holds the answer for everyone. A one-size-fits-all health plan just doesn't work, at least not in my case. For instance, we are supposed to eat more oily fish, right? Well, I am intolerant to Salmon, Trout, and Tuna, among others. So you see, subjectivity is something to work at, in certain areas of life. For the ability to focus this way, I am grateful...

Love, Learning, and Lying-In!
WOW, I just realized that I haven't Blogged here for a month! It's not that I haven't been being grateful about things, but haven't had the energy to keep up with all of my practices.
But I am renewing my commitment to Blog every day, so one of my three blogs will get attention most days now. I have had a very low energy month, as I've been eliminating foods that cause intolerance, etc. and looking for houses (both very draining things). Neither of those things has helped though, as I began to feel frustrations and a lack of control. I'm ready to move forward, realizing that I need to focus on the goals, not what I don't have (energy, a house, etc.).
Today these things are making me smile!
1. LOVE - I am so grateful for the Love that I do have, for the continuting support and kindness that my husband shows me (even when we've had a rough patch). I am so grateful for the time I get to spend with my wonderful son, Colin, who is four. Their love has taught me to love myself, and here is one tool I have used to grow my Gratitude (click on the blue word).
2. Learning - I am so happy and grateful that I am open to learning. I'm learning about myself in order to become a better me and a better human being. I am grateful that I am educated and that I love to read so I can grow and gather in the wisdom of the ages. Books are so full of wisdom!!! And as they say "Knowledge is Power."
3. "Lying In." - In the USA this is known as "Sleeping In." I had a "Lie-In" this morning, which I really needed. I've had some sort of cold and craved some extra sleep. My son woke up early but stayed quietly in bed watching a DVD and I got an extra hour! My son is a star, and I am a grateful Mum.

Teachers, Technology, Time to Reflect...
It's been a challenging few days, I've been up against a few things. I have had a lot of change swirling up from the depths of me, asking me to answer the call to Unite with my Soul's Urge... This is a turning point for me, one of those "Seven Year Cycles" beginning. I've been in England 7 years, it is no coincidence that I am up for change. Change isn't easy, but finding the GRATITUDE in the middle of it is a big key to finding Joy.
So, the past few days I've been Grateful for (though not always Smiling about):
1. Teachers. One Teacher to be exact, who represents everything that a great teacher should be: Inspiring, Caring, Steadfast, Honorable, Giving, Expressive, and a true Individual. His name was Dana Brown and he is one of the best people I ever knew. http://www.tdn.com/slide_show/dana_brown/index.html
Recently I have re-discovered my desire to teach and lead others to personal freedom through Improvisational Workshops. I have been thinking of him and his impact on me, and my vision, a lot. Then, this past Sunday I found out that he passed away March 1st. I've since processed a lot of feelings about my days in High School and what this teacher meant to me. The overriding emotion has been GRATITUDE. Thank you, Dana Brown. Thanks for being YOU.
2. Technology. I am constantly Grateful that I have a great laptop, that Digital technology is flourishing (and not difficult to use), and that many of my creative urges are able to be expressed with all of this technology. Also, for "fun" things, technology is all good: I missed a TV show the other day and my husband brought it home on his memory stick, as a friend of his downloaded it for me! I gotta figure out how to do that for myself!
3. TIME to reflect. I am so Grateful that I have the time to reflect on and process the things that happen to me, that come up in my thoughts, or that urge me creatively. This is one of the best things that I have ever been blessed with: TIME. I have to remind myself not to take it for granted, as it is a precious thing that I have been given. "To whom much has been given, much is expected." (Bible verse). I now ask myself "How can I serve?" Time has been given to me as a Tool, and I am intending to use it for a higher purpose. My soul agrees that this is who I am, so we are smiling...

Creating Space, Colds, and Conversations...
Interesting weekend, productive, yet lazy, happy, yet grumpy. Sometimes when you want to accomplish something you have to bring up or deal with some CRAP. But I'm grateful for the crap because is it a means to an end, it is part of the puzzle of life. (Funny that Crap begins with a "C" too).
1. Creating space - We decided to rearrange a lot of our furniture in our cottage, needed to gain some space. Grumbling about lack of space hasn't worked, you see. As we shifted things around, the space got more cluttered, more clogged up, before it got better (a bit like a cold, see below!). It was frustrating in the middle of the project, and at times the solution of "where to put things" didn't seem clear. In the end, we made our home feel much more spacious, and energy can flow properly now. I got tired of complaining that our house was "too small!" Now I can say that it is spacious, light, and enough room to enjoy my life. And I plan to manifest more of all that!
2. Colds - I have one, yes. It's been coming on for a few days. Ugh. My son brings colds home from pre-school (some of the kids attend with horrendous, snotty, coughy colds, and no one seems to mind!). Crap is coming UP and OUT of my sinuses, there's a definite theme of crap-dealing-with here... Well, I'm not happy about the cold, but fighting it means being "anti-cold" and maybe that will end up prolonging it!? I will just accept it and be one with it (oh dear me, I sound nuts). But I am choosing to find the thing to be grateful for about the cold. It causes me to sit more still, take better care of myself, and reassess what I might be doing to create dis-ease in my body. Always a chance to reflect, and that's a good thing!
3. Conversations - My dear husband and I had a few this weekend, as I was determined to talk about the direction our life is taking. We have some big decisions to make soon, and we were ignoring that fact (it has felt like ignoring the proverbial "elephant in the middle of the room."). We both got grumpy, as sometimes it isn't easy to express what it is we are feeling. Feelings don't always allow themselves to be described in mere words. Needless to say, some CRAP came out. Well, we finally got to the root of things, albeit it took until midnight Sunday night to get there. SO having conversations, really working the crap out in words, is wonderful.
However, my sore throat today is telling me to hold off having any more just yet!

YELLOW, YOUTUBE, AND YELLING
Okay, now that's an odd list, but I swear that these are the themes of my day!
1. Yellow: I am grateful for the colour yellow today. I felt a bit down so I wore my yellow hooded top. Colin came home from shopping with a yellow daffodil pin for me and a yellow balloon for himself. I love the colour yellow this time of year, we are so desperate for colour! I bought lots of kitchen doo-dads last spring, which were yellow, but that wasn't really me, so they have gone to thrift shops.
2. YouTube: I had a grumpy day, which led to an introspective afternoon. I spent some time on YouTube, on my 100 Day CCOR Challenge group and got some great insights, ideas, and comments. Thank the Universe for that group!
3. Yelling: Well, this is because I had an arguement with my DH today. I didn't yell much, though I felt like it. I was home alone and yelled about the things that are bugging me (yelled at the walls) and it was a good release. I am glad that I do let these things out...and also that the yelling makes me realize that something isn't right and I need to look inside. I don't like to yell, but it is teaching me things about myself.

Cuddles, Community, and Comments...
WELL, it was a different kind of day yesterday, had some ups and downs. I didn't get enough sleep which always leaves me emotional. I walked my son to preschool and on the way home I felt really alone and down (saw lots of Mums chatting in the park, and I realized that I need to make more friends).
BUT:
1. Cuddles! My son woke me up by jumping into bed with me and giving me a kiss. We often have a cuddle in the morning and talk about what kind of day we are going to have. Precious...
2. Community! I came home from my sad walk and found some messages from YouTubers that confirmed that I DO have a community, I do belong, I do have a place to be me. I cried because the messages were so heart-felt and just what I needed. Thank you Universe...!
3. Comments! Being grateful for both supportive comments and critical comments, as I've had several of each the past few days. I am smiling about both types, as I always learn something about myself when I read them and take them in. I am getting a broader picture of who I am and what I feel strongly about. Live and learn!

Sunshine, Sheets, and Sillyness!
Tuesday here in England, and its been beautifully sunny!!!!!!!!!!! Hoooooooray!
(we have had tons of rain lately, storms, wind, etc.)
1. Sunshine! Need I say more?
2. Sheets - Bedsheets are great, especially when they've been worn in enough to be a bit silky on your skin. I just love the way it feels on my feet when I am stretching out first thing in the morning, and the last thing at night.
3. Sillyness! - Love being silly with my son, we dance along to Boogie Beebies, we make silly voices, silly sounds, silly faces. I make sure that I spend part of each day being silly with Colin. :-).

Friends, Food, and Flowers
Lazy, rainy Sunday here in England. Didn't go out, but yesterday we shopped at a crowded mall, so we're tired... But last night was so great, my best friend and her family stopped by on their way home from a holiday and they ended up staying for a few hours (said they could only stay a few minutes). It was a great evening!
I am smiling and grateful for:
1. Friends--well what can I say except that the true, ones are fun, flexible and magical, and you always feel at home with them.
2. Food--we had some fantastic Thai take-away food with our friends ( I didn't have to cook, hooray!)
3. Flowers--my friends brought me a huge bouquet of daffodils which smell so great and make the house so cheery! I was thinking of buying myself flowers when we were out yesterday, but just didn't follow through, so some manifested this way, which was cool. I intend to always have fresh flowers in my home from now on. :-).

Sunshine, Showers, and Support
A quick three today:
1. Sunshine!!! It has been a rainy week, and today it was sunny and gorgeous all day--an early spring bit of love from Momma Nature.
2. Showers. Taking a great shower, to be exact. There is a very nice shower in our rental house, separate from the tub, which has good water pressure. Our last rental did, too, which has been fabulous, as for 5 years living in our old house we didn't have a good shower (it sort of dribbled and was only hot when it wanted to be). I appreciate a soooooo much now!
3. Support! This is the support I've been recieving since day one on YOUTUBE. The people in the 100 Day Challenge group are phenomenal, I don't know what I would be doing without my connection to that group right now (well, I suppose it is the connction to myself which is the main thing, but the other group members are highlighting what is going on inside of me).
Not as quick as I thought, but wanted to jot this all down before bed!

CHILDREN, CROCUSES, CONNECTIONS...
Well today I helped out at my son's preschool and it was such fun! I just love hanging out with those kids, love the funny things they say, and there is always a little surprise (a boy I thought was a bit of a ruffian turned out to be super-sweet!). Brightened my day to be able to read a story and wipe a few noses of our future leaders ;-).
1. Children really made me smile today!
2. Noticed purple and yellow flowers popping up all over the park across the street from our house.
3. I am so enjoying the connections I'm making in my 100 Day Reality Challenge group on YouTube. I have never done anything so interesting and I feel uplifted, challenged, humbled, exctied and honoured to be a part of these people's lives. Thanks everyone!

FINISHING THE MONTH...
If you smile when no one else is around, you really mean it. ~Andy Rooney
I haven't done this for several days, due to feeling ill and too tired to do too much. I'm okay, and am using this "down time" to re-evaluate the month that is ending and meditating on those things that I am smiling and grateful for from the past few weeks. By the way, it is a nice practise to review each month, as you would at the end of a year. There is an energy in each month, partly seasonal, partly to do with the energy found in numbers (Numerology). Each month will have different energy and therefore have a different focus. Reviewing each month gives us a chance to see who we have been and who we are becoming.
1. I am so very grateful that I have found some (potential) answers to my health issues! This has to do with Food Additive Allergies, and due to an allergic reaction last week I have discovered that my body is struggling when I eat foods with certain additives or enzymes in them. WOW!!!
2. I am continuting to be extremely grateful for my husband and his love and energy. He is truly the man I always wanted to be with (though at times I didn't know it).
3. I am humbly grateful for the opportunities that are coming my way!!! This month has been a refresher course of the Law of Attraction, and has reinstated my intentions and continues opening my mind to those possibilities!!!
When the student is ready.... ;-)

Microwaves, Movie Maker, and Mud Puddles!
What a fun day! It was rainy and muddy but my son and I managed to make the most of it...
1. Today I am grateful that we now own a microwave oven. We tried to live without one (thought life would be simpler without one less gadget), but we realized that there is a good reason why most people have them! I don't know what I was thinking about before, but I'm grateful to have one back in our lives.
2. I have been spending time getting to know the Movie Maker program on our computer, making videos for YouTube, first for family, now for the whole world! I had a blast today while my son was at pre-school, making a new video for the "100 Day Reality Challenge," which has a group on YouTube and also on the website: www.cocreatingourreality.com. I LOVE editing videos, which I used to do in my 20's for community TV.
3. After pre-school we walked home in our rubber wellies and had a really good stomping, splashing, slip-sloppy time in the mud puddles. I am grateful that I took the time and let my son get messy: he had so much fun and it was lovely to watch.
That's it, time for bed!

Intention, Internet, Ice Cream Sundaes...
Sorry, trying to be clever here with three "I's" so the blog isn't so dull!
TODAY I AM GRATEFUL THAT I FEEL THE AMAZING ENERGY INSIDE THAT HAS COME OUT OF FOLLOWING THE POWER OF INTENTION OR THE LAW OF ATTRACTION.
1. I know that Intentions manifest into things, especially when we've taken some action to magnify the energy from our thoughts and feelings. I have seen my marriage blossoming lately, and I know its all down to the way I've shifted my focus. It's made for a much more wonderful Valentine's Day than I've had for awhile!!! My dream man is emerging, and I am SMILING...
2. What can I say, the Internet has changed a lot of lives. Today, I've been able to connect with people I don't know, but can see my Vlog or read my Blogs, and I can read theirs. We're sharing our stories, and the ways the Law of Attraction is working in our lives! I had a lot of chances to smile today because of YouTube!

Another Internet note: I just LOVED having my groceries delivered today after ordering them on the internet (thanks Sainsburys!).
3. We stayed in tonight and had a great take-away and I made homemade Brownie Sundaes. Okay, not so good for my campaign to lose weight, but it felt great eating really good ice cream, fudgey brownies and homemade chocolate sauce. If I'm gonna have a goodie, it's gonna be gooooooooooood! (I had a brisk walk today, I'll do one tomorrow, too).
I hope Valentine's Day gave you reasons to SMILE!

2. What can I say, the Internet has changed a lot of lives. Today, I've been able to connect with people I don't know, but can see my Vlog or read my Blogs, and I can read theirs. We're sharing our stories, and the ways the Law of Attraction is working in our lives! I had a lot of chances to smile today because of YouTube!

Another Internet note: I just LOVED having my groceries delivered today after ordering them on the internet (thanks Sainsburys!).
3. We stayed in tonight and had a great take-away and I made homemade Brownie Sundaes. Okay, not so good for my campaign to lose weight, but it felt great eating really good ice cream, fudgey brownies and homemade chocolate sauce. If I'm gonna have a goodie, it's gonna be gooooooooooood! (I had a brisk walk today, I'll do one tomorrow, too).
I hope Valentine's Day gave you reasons to SMILE!

The New Laptop, Birthday Cards, My New Necklace
Birthday today, I am having a good one! I relaxed, played with Colin, and had some great Thai food for dinner with Shaun. If that isnt enough to be grateful for:
1. I am thankful for the new laptop we got, it is so smoooothe to use and pretty and it has all the new bells and whistles. It just makes the writing, reading, blogging, and Vlogging I do a pleasure. Technology is wonderful!
2. Got a pile of birthday cards through the door today, mostly from the USA, makes me smile to know my family always remember me, even though I'm far away.
3. My son made me a beautiful necklace with his huge buttons and also some birthday drawings. He said he wanted to make me a cake, too, but being 4 I said maybe next year ;-).
I'm also grateful for being 38 and being open to learning about life at my age. I things unfolding every day...

Sundays, Sleep, The Secret...
Though I don't intend to post here everyday, I am already finding it easier to think of things that make me SMILE (or the things I am grateful for).
1. Sundays are great!!! I love having a day of rest, though ironically I tend to get a lot done on Sundays. Maybe because I dont' have any expectations on the day! Somehow having no pressure makes it easier to say "yes" to doing things I need to do.
2. Sleep... The new matress we got is heavenly, I finally have started to wake up without back and hip pains, hooray!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am just so grateful for this, I can't say it enough.
3. The Secret! By this I mean the DVD "The Secret." I have seen it a few times and today I watched Oprah (via YouTube) talking to some of the key people from that video. I am just so grateful to be able to learn from them, and grateful for YouTube, too! (BTW, we have Oprah here in the UK, though we are usually a few months behind).
So today was a day of rest and revitalization, should be a good week ;-).

Bed, Snow, Being Clear
A bit tired today, Colin was up in the night, coughing and crying because he couldn't sleep. It's ironic because we got a new bed yesterday and the matress is so cozy it is like being in a cloud! (check out http://www.harrisonbeds.co.uk/ - we got the Rapture).
1. So today I am grateful for our new bed!!!
2. Also, it has been snowing on and off for two days. It is the most snow in this section of England for 10 years (though is only a few inches)! I am grateful for the beauty of it and the stillness that it brings to our lives.
3. Today is a day which is uninterrupted by details and I love it. No pre-school to shuttle Colin off to, no one is scheduled to drop by, and the weekend is upon us. I feel clearer today, and that I can and do the things that I want to do, without a struggle. This feeling is relflected by the feeling that I get from snow: it covers up all of the nagging details of our landscape and creates something fresh and serene, a pause in the normal pace of life. Hooray for Chill-Out days!!!
