It might surprise you what I am most grateful for!

I am grateful for the difficult people in my life because they forced me to look within and discover what needed to change. I may not have liked it at the time, but it was a gift.

I am grateful for the “dark nights of the soul”, which shook me to my core forcing me to throw out the inner junk and rebuild a stronger more loving foundation.

I am grateful for the “failures”, which forced me to evaluate the beliefs I had been carrying for too long about myself, and how the world works.

Lastly, I am grateful for fear for it was the best mirror possible of where I was in relation to love. It always guided me to what needed to be healed or changed within for me to be centered in self-love and live the best version of myself possible which in turn enabled me to offer more love to the world around me.

So on Thanksgiving celebrate the love in your lives but also celebrate the “teachers” who made you uncomfortable.  For without them you would never become more than you were.

I wish everyone a beautiful and loving Thanksgiving.

Until next time be the light the world needs and stay in love for all.
