Gratitude #12 22.2.18

Gratitude #12: Tonight I reflect on the people who are still around, but are no longer a part of my journey. They played a role for a season and taught me something valuable that has led me to who I am and where I’m at. They are not in my life anymore for a number of reasons but where I once looked back at them with hurt, I now look forward with appreciation and grace. I’m blessed to be on my journey every day. Maybe someone else needs this appreciation tonight as well! If it is you; take it!

Gratitude #11 21.2.18

Gratitude #11: Tonight I am so thankful that I am able to help out a young people on the other side of the world. I recently found out my Kenyan Sponsor child Hemphrey has graduated high school and I am humbled that I was able to be a part of that journey. We have never met but I know that I have been able to help shape him for his future. Now I just need to consider what I do next. So Blessed!!! #childsponsorship #salvationarmy

Gratitude #10: Being able to look at the ‘problems’ and change the framing to a ‘challenge’. It is then that with a positive frame of reference, you can then develop solutions that will benefit all.

Gratitude 2018 Catching Up!



I have commenced a new daily journal. It is real simple, A thought of gratitude each day. I have to catch up people for the first 8 days and then I will post daily my gratitude. Here is 1 to 8.

(February 11-18th 2018)


Gratitude #1: I want to recognise that I am able to see the joy in young people doing something they enjoy and be happy for those who see that in me!

Gratitude post #2 to the people who encourage me to rise above the mediocre thinking and instead soar. You are a great reminder of support and of encouragement.

Gratitude #3 So blessed to have so many people in my life that I am truly humbled to spend my time with.

Gratitude #4: Tonight I wish to be thankful for the value of independence in choices and experiences. Today being a day in which a lot of people may feel lonely or left out due to their relationship status, I chose to celebrate the fact that it is ok to be single. It is ok to be able to reflect on your strengths and abilities and it is ok to be able to say I'm happy with where I am right now, even when others around you don't see how that cann be a happy place for you. Tonight I shout out to my friends who are single on this day. Let's be greatful that we can be a part of life and all it has to offer.

Gratitude #5: Today whilst sitting at the school swimming sports I was reminded of the amazing young people that I get to interact with everyday. All have a story, All have dreams, All have their own little unique qualities. I give gratitude today to the many teachers I had in my life that taught me to embrace all that I am and move forward on my path. I may not have all that I want, but I have a life that allows me to use my journey to inspire and encourage young people daily to not let excuses get in the way of progressing on their journey!

Gratitude #6: Today I am thankful for those perfect days of weather. To have beautiful clear skies but thankfully not overly hot was a true gift today. I didn’t see a lot of it as I was in classes or meetings but when I finally did, it was such a blessing!

Gratitude #7: Today I have been reminded time and time again of the beautiful surroundings of where I live. To be a short walk to the mighty Murray river and a place where the sunrise and sunset visuals are constantly breathtaking just make me feel inspired and at peace. I am so blessed to be able to feel at home when I sit and just take it all in.

Gratitude #8: Today my thoughts go to the blessings I recieve by being creative and being allowed to express myself using my gifts and abilities in performing. It doesn't matter the total number of people (if anyone) that hears it, for my soul is enriched when I am able to do what I feel is an integral part of my DNA and journey!
