PPF and Gratitudes and Drawing

[USUAL DISCLAIMER: IF you have received an invite to participate in this blog, it's because I feel like it is something that you would enjoy and derive benefit from, to participate in this exercise.

The idea is to come on here (doesn't have to be daily but it certainly can) and write a brief post on what you're grateful about, etc. or any other thing that you feel helps your process

The idea is that both the practice of writing it down as well as the sharing with a community of equally grateful people will create a virtuous cycle of good cheer and joy and blessings of every sort.


If you would like to participate, send me a message & I will add you :) ]

joining up to Paint Party Friday




Today Grateful For

1) Kristen & Eva and the awesome Paint Party Friday that allows us to share our arts! I've been participating, off & on since 2012. I know it's running on its 6th year and i pray we see many more

2) finishing (at most I might add a background) this whimsical birthday drawing I made for a great friend ('Sky' will know who it's for :D) These are all elements important to her, in particular the doggie in the middle is her fur baby.

This was simply drawing pencils + watercolour pencils. As I said, mostly done, though i might do the background a special colour, I havent decided yet

3) figured out that (I think) drinking lemon juice before bed helps me feel good upon waking up, wheras without it, if I have not been uber careful with my diet, I wake up feeling sort of unwell. This is paving the way, also, for doing a Master Cleans in the future bc i am getting direct feedback that eating little, eating pure, and lemon juice help me, which may mean i have been exposed to some toxicity or other. IN any event it's great re lemon juice

4) the car fixing ppl replaced the catalytic converter free of charge bc it had malfunctioned even after their having replaced it 3 weeks ago or something. We were afraid we were going to be out MORE $, even

5) didn't ahve to be on computer hardly at all yestrerday, and not at all after 5pm!! was able to just hang out, cook, and read (novel concept) and go to bed b4 midnite. That's how iwant it to be always there is something great re off computer by 10pm. Hopefully earlier

  3. Oh I love your illustration so much...very happy!! Gratitude is the key to abundance so this is a wonderful exercise. The food thing has been huge in our home... what we eat has a big affect on how we feel. None of us take that for granted any longer!! Glad you figured that out too...My SIL had a similar experience with his radiator this week...his brother found the big crack before it broke down... fixed on the cheap!! Wonderful things to be grateful for!! Thanks for sharing this great post!

    Hugs Giggles

  7. That's a fun illustration. I always drink a glass of water first thing in the morning, and believe it helps flush my system of impurities. Blessings!
