I wrote about taking the time to journal and show gratitude on a daily basis a little over a year ago. I wasn't sure if I'd make it a week or month or more, but I made it about a year. I was pretty impressed, I must admit. Then I fell off, mainly because it ...
When things feel difficult, focus on the present
...Be grateful, for what you do have, and worry less about what you don't. The grass always seems greener, but sometimes it's just a mirage. Things can get tough whether it be work, relationships, family issues, health... but in the end a lot of these things are either temporary, and there are bigger things at ...
Moments of Mindfulness
It's easy to get lost in the day to day, but taking a moment, preferably more than one, is so necessary. Why you ask? A moment to reflect, discern what's going on within yourself, and determine what you need whether it be as simple as a glass of water, perhaps a nap, or a run ...
When the chips fall down
A lot happens in life. The good. The bad. The mediocre. We sometimes don't realize how wonderful things are in the moment, until they've passed. When we look back and see how grateful we could be for the things in our lives. The roofs over our heads. The company of loved ones. A secure job. ...
Two months of gratitude
I wrote before about gratitude. So I did it, I took every morning - 1-2 minutes a day - to journal what I am grateful for that day. For that day. In that moment. I didn't think it would last, but it allows me to realize what there is to be grateful for, despite the ...

Saying thank you, feeling the sense of bliss, appreciating what you have versus what you don't, being thankful for how far you've come, where you are today, and realizing what you should be grateful for is a wonderful thing. It makes us smile, it brings out positive vibes, makes us feel lighter, happier, and it ...
Life changes in an instant…
Time is relative. It can feel like it's slow and taking forever to move forward, and at other times, we wish we could stay in a moment for so much longer, and that time would just stay put for a while. Would be nice if time would listen to us, wouldn't it? Time...and in turn life ...
How to Handle Debilitating Anxiety
Written by contributing blogger, Daniela Forte. Imagine a hamster on a wheel. It’s just going non-stop in circles nowhere fast. Imagine a broken record just repeating the same line in a song over and over and over again. This is anxiety. I have probably written about this more times than I can count, but I think we need ...
Buttoning Up the Year with Gratitude
Written by contributing blogger, Daniela Forte. I can’t honestly say I have been grateful for everything this year. While I have had some wonderful moments happen and I have met some new people who have shown me kindness I hadn’t seen in a long time, I found gratitude to be lacking in my life. I have instead ...
