Gratitude Thursday

  Expressing our gratitude is the essential way to stay in the moment of what is most important in our lives.  No matter what may be happening there's always something to be grateful for.

Thanks for stopping by for a moment to express your gratitude and reignite your motivation.

This week I'm grateful for the many small things someone did and didn't know how big an impact what they did had on me.

For example, the ladies in my belly danceing class who smiled and encouraged me to keep going even though I was floundering around instead of undualting with the utmost sensuality.

And my student who was kind enough to pick up my scipt so I would have it on time. Thanks Khalil!

Now, it's your turn.  Share what you're grateful for in the comments section below.

Remember time is short. Do your happy dance. Enjoy life!

This week I'm grateful for my staff at The Children's Theatre Workshop.  I have 76 youth attending summer camp this year and without my 14 staff members I certainly couldn't create the magical, safe and creative environment that embodies TCTW.

Each staff member has their own unique talents and gifts and so far they are sharing those gifts and talents in a significant way.  Also, I'm grateful for my assistant. This is the first year in 15 years that I've had a real assistant and she's really on top of her game.  In a nutshell, I'm grateful for synergy.

Okay, now it's your turn. What are you truly grateful for? Share in the comments section below.

Gratitude Saturday - Express your Gratitude

  Expressing our gratitude is the essential way to stay in the moment of what is most important in our lives.  No matter what may be happening there's always something to be grateful for. Each Saturday we stop for a moment, express our gratitude and reignite our motivation.

This week I am grateful for my mentor Ivy Hylton of Serenity Healing Arts. She's a 30 year practitioner of combining spirituality with the psychotherapy field. She's also a Reiki Master, wellness practitioner and an amazing opera singer.

She's been training me over the past several weeks to play crystal bowls and I'll be studying Reiki with her over the next month. She's patient, knowledgeable and kind. I'm also grateful to Tambra Stevenson for introducing us.

Thank you Ivy for leading by example and mentoring me to my next level!

This week I am grateful for my son.  He's a tall, intelligent, handsome and engaging young man.  He'll be 17 in a few short weeks and I've been getting a little nostalgic as I think about all the experiences that sum up our lives up to now. 

There are so many memories of growth, love and laughter.  He continues to be my creative inspiration.

This week I am grateful for Lisa Peyton, for her vision, determination and synergistic spirit. 

On Friday, I had the privilege of participating in Black Women's Wellness Day in Bowie MD. This event was envisioned by Lisa.  She'd had the idea over a year ago when she declared May 22, 2008 to be Black Women's Wellness Day. This date is the day her mother passed from this life.  She then decided in March of this year to push ahead and on May 22nd create a 1/2 day of seminars and discussions on topics that centered on solutions for creating more wellness and a vital health mindset in our lives.  The event was a tremendous success.  I met several marvelous women studying different disciplines in the wellness arena.  We laughed, we learned and we had a truly great time. 

Thank you Lisa for your kindness, thoughtfulness and your entrepreneurial spirit.

Remember to do your happy dance.  Enjoy life!
