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.

Autumn is really present here in Vancouver now. How it is in your part of the World ?Trees are becoming more and more redish, wish please me even if it announces rain months to come soon here.

This week, I realize that the joyful moments are sometimes hard to seperate from harder ones, but once I sort it out, my heart is filled of Gratitude; so it’s worth taking time to do so.

I am thankful for my Sisters in the Circe’s Circle, fantasticly driven by Jamie Ridler. For the Magic happening there, for the Dreams becoming more and more precise, for the support and all the love. Thank you for this chance I have to be part of it, it’s more than a blessing.

Thank you for the cool cold but dry days we had. I repeat myself but I love when the sky is bright blue, even if the cold is crisp outside.

Thank you for all the positive changes operating inside and outside myself.

Jo Anna Rothman is one of these chicas I can call “friend” even if we never met yet. She is an amazing healer, she is also an intuitive counselor & guide.

I met her I don’t remember where (I think it’s via Twitter, when I saw a retweet of her by someone I am following, and won a reading with her) but it was through her AMAZING project called The Receiving Project. It is totally free, it’s a 32day project during which you commit to focus on what you are receiving. Seems weird ? Here is what Jo Anna explains about it:

”The Receiving Project is 32 day process designed to explore and enhance your ability to receive the multitude of gifts that life has to offer.
[…] Something amazing happens when people set the intention to receive gifts from The Universe.  They become open to the magnificent presents that are all around them, everyday.  They get into a groove where goodness flows. And most of all they have fun.
All you do is set the intention to receive a gift from the universe every day for 32 days. These gifts can come in any and every form. If you feel like it’s a gift that you were able to receive, then it counts.
To support you in your process you will receive a twice weekly email newsletter. I am available via email for additional assistance.”

I participated in the project and it simply changed my life. It totally goes along my ritual Gratitude Friday, to focus on all the positive happening in my life instead of what the rocks on the road are.

Once you pay attention to the gifts you receive everyday (yes: every single day), you realize how full your life is. Of course, sometimes you wonder “is it real ?” and my answer is simple and quick: yes.

We tend to link “gift” with a physical thing someone offers to us. But it’s not that narrowed. The inspiration you were waiting for is a gift, the sun on your face despite the fact the forecast’s announcement of pouring rain is a gift, a dream telling you the message you needed to hear is a gift and so on.

The magic in the Receiving Project is that it opens you to receiving uncounsciously because you know you don’t “ask too much” and that you deserve all of this.
32 days is perfect: neither too long nor too short (but I miss weekly emails by Jo Anna though).

She also runs a Healing Circle every month in the San Fernando Valley area (California) and one-on-one session as well.

Jo Anna is working hard on creating a fantastic new website and a 2.0 version of The Receiving Project !!!!!

When I started my week on Monday, I decided it will be… well, fantastic. And I have to admit that setting an intention for the beginning week like this helps me to gain clarity in what I want and to stay focused on it.
I had faced some deceptions but I was surely meant to be like that, it’s not something that surprises me so…

This week was full of new beginnings for me !
I don’t even know where to start. Today, for the first time I think, I realize that it is one thing to feel the Gratitude deep into your heart, but it’s something else to express it with words. Did you already experienced something like that ? How did you overcome it eventually ?

I first of all want to thank the persons who believe in me. I had a wonderful opportunity that came my way this week and I’ll never say “thank you” enough for it.

A huge thank you to C. who understands my need and does what she can to help me/us.

Thank you to the Universe for finally having a giganormous good new to my friend P., it’s freeing her from the heavy weight that was on her shoulders.

I also want to thank my terrestrian angel for “pushing” me to get my artwork out there.

Thank you so much to the person who bought greeting cards of one of my illustrations ! I never thought I could already have sold something. I hope this is just the beginning and want to thank for all the sales to come ! (goooooooooosh while typing this, I received another email telling me I sold something else. Yipaaaaaaaaa I just can’t believe it !!).

I am very grateful and happy because I learned today that Hay House finally scheduled an I Can Do It ! week-end here, in Vancouver. I was really starting to wonder why nothing “major” happens here and why it’s always either in Toronto or in Montréal.

Thank you for the beautiful weather we are having this week, feels like Summer again, without the burning heat we knew some days. Seeing the huge Moon on a the bright blue sky just amazes me.

Thank you for the educators at the after school care, they are all wonderful. So wonderful that Grenouille refuses to come back home when we come to pick her up ! Rare are the children who prefers to be at school uh ! But she reassures me: she loves us mucho and loves spending time with us, it’s just that she has fun there *relief*.

Thank you to myself for never having given up and for always believing.
