Gratitude really does change everything.

When I began my personal gratitude practice I didn’t feel like I had anything to be grateful for.

I hated life. I hated myself. But I yearned for change and so I practiced anyway.

Overtime I started to draw to me, things to be grateful for.

I started noticing more what was already present within my life and within myself that I could genuinely feel grateful for.

Initially these moments were quick, temporary and fleeting.

I couldn’t maintain gratitude for very long at all.

But with practice I extended my ability to hold within me the vibration of gratitude and I continued to find more and more to be grateful for.

We all have to start somewhere.

I started with appreciating a beautiful sunny day, clear blue sky, the sun shining on my face, a breath of fresh air as I rode my bike from the day spa I worked at to my apartment in East Perth.

I expressed gratitude every time I felt good and for the lessons I learned from feeling bad.

I expressed gratitude for my family who I knew loved me in their own unique way (not necessarily the way I wanted to be loved but they loved me and that’s what counts)

I gave thanks for the opportunity to be alive and experience life as a human being.

I gave thanks for opportunities, for small things like manifesting an avocado this one time (frickin’ epic score!!! Note I was pretty financially poor at the time and this was frickin’ awesome!)

Often there were long periods of darkness where I didn’t feel grateful and I neglected my practice but I always got back up and continued as soon as I felt able.

In 2019 I manifested my partner, someone who loves me for me and accepted me completely, allowing space for me to be me and move through my usual ways of beginning a new relationship (meaning when I went mute from fear of being judged, shamed and abandoned he stayed by my side, didn’t buy into my BS but allowed space for me to work through my discomfort)

It came with more challenges than I ever imagined.

No one ever told me how much challenge and overwhelm would come with getting everything I wanted in life.

But what also came with receiving all of my dreams and desires - inner strength, resilience, power, passion, connection, love, joy and happiness that I never really thought possible.

All the challenges have been a kind of growing pains that came with the internal growth, surrender, healing and expansion I was moving through.

I continued to express gratitude even when I didn’t feel like it, when I didn’t feel grateful I searched deep inside

When I stared down at the blank paper in my journal, I stopped trying to search for big things, I let go of thinking about what I wasn’t grateful for, what I didn’t have and I focused on the simple things once again - the sun shining, being warm with a roof over my head and food in my belly, fresh water, fresh air, the ability to be here, now with my journal.

I continued to attract more and more to be grateful the more I focused on gratitude, the more I looked for things to be grateful for, the more things that showed up in my reality

The more genuine my gratitude became, the greater the things I attracted to me.

And now here I am. Sitting at the bench on my laptop writing this post with more to be grateful for than I ever thought possible.

I had dreams for sure but never really believed they would come to fruition.

I sit here, before you now it the deepest gratitude for every part of my journey - especially the tough parts as that is where my wisdom has come from, that is the wisdom I now share with you, with clients, with all.

My story allows me to connect with others going through similar experiences and offer them powerful guidance, wisdom, hope, knowing, gifts and support on their journey. What a gift.

Where your focus goes - energy flows.

Your thoughts are the seeds of creation.

Your feelings water those seeds.

Repetition allows those seeds to bloom into your reality.

When you’re feeling good, compound that good with gratitude.

When you’re feeling bad, allow gratitude to support you through the experience and lift your spirit.
