@bradbrantley and I are decorating our tree tonight a d I came across this beauty. She may look like not much, but she’s been with me for at least 40 years. She was our tree topper when I was a little girl. We must’ve had small trees back then. 😂 She’s only about 6” tall. But she’s probably more special to me than any other Christmas ornament I have. She’s made of wax and, by a miracle, has survived all these years intact. She represents some of the happiest memories in my life with my mom, dad, and brother. Back in simple times. Missing my mommy tonight as we decorate. This was also her favorite time of year. Sending love and peace and hugs to all.

One of my favorite places to be is at the ocean. There's just something about the waves, the salty air, the sand, the sounds, and smells, and all of it I can't put a finger on, that allows me to tap into a deeper place inside of me. It soothes my heart and soul. Profoundly.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I'm not there now, but even watching videos of it lets me go to that place inside of me. Yay for anchors!!! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I wish I was in LA with my family for Thanksgiving this week. I'd be at the ocean for sure! But #2020. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ In lieu of that, I'll take this next best thing...a video/picture of a sunset on the beach. And feel grateful that I KNOW what this experience is like first hand. Because I can go there within myself. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #AdventuresInHappiness #Gratitude #HappinessCoach #lLifeCoaching #Transformation #EFT #FasterEft #Tapping #NLP #Hypnosis #HeartCentered #SocialCurator #BeHappy #iIspiration #SelfLove #SelfCare #Mindfulness #PersonalGrowth #LoveYourself #Happiness #ChangeYourThoughts #SelfAcceptance #HappinessNow

OY! Y'all. I'm gonna be SUPER honest here. I'm growing weary of the daily gratitude posts! BUT NOT BECUASE OF A LACK OF GRATITUDE! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I'm actually noticing gratitude more consistently each day, throughout the day, which is the point of doing the daily gratitude. Duh. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I'm simply tired of it being THE thing I post on social. I recently started thinking "I don't really think people care what I'm grateful for every day." In a matter of fact way, not self-deprecating. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ But, on to what I'm feeling grateful for today...MY STRENGTHS!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I took the Clifton Strengths Finder early this year and learned SO much about myself. My top 5 strengths are in the picture. As I was reviewing them over the weekend, I was reminded that this combination of strengths lends itself to getting bored, to put it bluntly. Hence my initial comments above. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I know it likely sounds like complaining, but I'm honestly so grateful for learning these things. I've been able to stop making myself wrong for always moving on to the next thing. in short order. Yes, it has a shadow side (distracted, bored, flighty), but in this instance, knowledge can lead to power! I can work with what I know. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I used to beat myself up and think I'm a loser because I'm great at starting things and not so great at finishing them. Turns out there's nothing wrong with me!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ And when I'm in the trenches like I've been lately, it's so important to remember things like this! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ And THAT is why I'm grateful today. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #AdventuresInHappiness #gratitude #HappinessCoach #lLifeCoaching #Transformation #EFT #FasterEft #Tapping #NLP #Hypnosis #HeartCentered #SocialCurator #BeHappy #iIspiration #SelfLove #SelfCare #Mindfulness #PersonalGrowth #LoveYourself #Strengths #ChangeYourThoughts #SelfAcceptance #HappinessNow

Sometimes, I just wake up on the wrong side of the bed. Grumpy. Tired. Mad at the world. Being a happiness coach certainly doesn't make me immune to such feelings! But I'm grateful that I have a small, but mighty, group of friends I can reach out to when I have days like these. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Today I'm grateful for both @skatergail and @fasterchanges for being such inspiring and amazing best friends and helping me slog through the morning. I miss both your faces! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ And tomorrow, I get to SEE my other bestie @mcintegrativewellness and am looking forward to that! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I love my best friends. I can't imagine my world without these 3 ladies in it! Whatever did I do before I met you all??? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #AdventuresInHappiness #Gratitude #BestFriends #HappinessCoach #lLifeCoaching #Transformation #EFT #FasterEft #Tapping #NLP #Hypnosis #HeartCentered #SocialCurator #BeHappy #iIspiration #SelfLove #SelfCare #Mindfulness #PersonalGrowth #LoveYourself #Happiness #ChangeYourThoughts #SelfAcceptance #HappinessNow
