Gratitude Friday July 16th ’10: Thank you Tribes

Gratitude Friday is a weekly ritual I started in order to focus on all the small and big positive things that happened during my week. I invite you to join me, you’ll see how much being thankful can change your life. If you want to know more about it, read my introduction post.

What a week !

Kind of weird I’d say, but full of all ranges of emotions. It makes me grow and I am more than thankful for this..

I can’t help but be amazed by what the Univers puts on my way, even if I don’t always understand it. I stopped over-thinking what happens, why sometimes the tears just go off my eyes as if my head is just too full of water and needs to let go (but now that I am writing it, I guess it’s because my head is too full of emotions, it needs to let go and tears are a good way of getting rid of it. I suppose): I take everything and everyone as it comes in my life, I bless it.

➱ Thank you for opening my eyes on something my Heart was longing to feel as my Mind didn’t want to listen: I needed to feel like I belong. Like I am not lonely anymore.
➱ Thank you for all the opportunities I notice, the windows that begin to open up in front of me.
➱ Thank you for all the beautiful souls gathered around Connie for her workshops, for what they bring to me, for what I offer to them back, for what I learn, for what these people give without counting. I know now what BOLD truly means.
➱ Thank you for all the Art Journalers from all over the world I talk to, on Twitter as well as on Facebook. It’s like a big giant family I belong to, even if people don’t know me yet. I am peeling my layers step by step by becoming fearless.
➱ Thank you for all the support I receive, and the cheering as well. I would never EVER have thought I’ll receive such a positive reception regarding my video. I am blown away and my heart is overflowing with Gratitude.

I rarely feel the power of Gratitude as intensely as I am feeling it now… I know that a lot of people are sceptics, think “it’s just another New-Age thing” or “it’s just positive thinking and nothing else”. Maybe. Maybe not. Whatever it is, I see everyday what positive it brings in my life and in others’ and for me, it’s just not an illusion. I absolutely don’t want to force anybody to have the same opinion as me though. I am digging deeper around Gratitude and how to explore it, enjoy it, soak in it.
If with this ritual I helped one single person to shift how (s)he see his/her life, I’d have done what I desired to do.
