The First Week of Gratitude - Recap

Hey Everyone!

We are at Day 7 of the 30 Days of Gratitude, I hope you have joined us in reflecting in all things that are good to release the negativity that surrounds us daily. Some people have posted on the Be Candy Coated Facebook page and others are quietly reflecting using a journal or a gratitude jar. The choice is yours, but I really want all of us to share in this journey in some way, shape or form. So here is my recap of my grateful moments for Week 1:


September 1st: Grateful for the support of my parents helping me to raise my kids.
September 2nd: Grateful for Notebooks, pens and pencils. Writing in my journal is a way to release emotions
September 3rd: Thankful for the ability and courage to bounce back!
September 4th: Grateful for the privilege of prayer. When there is nothing else left to do, you can pray.
September 5th: Simply thankful for what is, not what was or whats to come, but just grateful for the present moment
September 6th: Mentors! Oh how grateful I am to have a wise, experienced person to guide me through life!
Today, September 7th: I am grateful for friends. Real friends that keep me grounded and pull me back from the edge.

I hope you will continue to post on Facebook or comment on these posts. I enjoy reading your grateful moments!

Until next time,
Be Candy Coated!!

30 Days of Gratitude in September

Hey Everyone!

I hope you are all doing well and ready to enjoy this 3 day holiday weekend. Labor Day is generally known as the last holiday of the summer, an end to hot weather, family vacations, summer romances and good times. What are your plans for this weekend? I am looking forward to relaxation and restoring of my mind and spirit. Sunday is September 1st and I have challenged myself to start 30 Days of Gratitude on my facebook page Be Candy Coated. I was inspired by Sophia Nelson during her keynote speech at the Women In the Spotlight's 3rd Annual Brunch. She indicated how doing so left her loving and respecting her life more for what she already has. I thought to myself, I've never taken a span of time to just continuously recognize all that I am grateful for, wow. 2013 has been a year of significant trials for me, but in each trial I came out tremendously blessed with revelations. It's been a year of personal growth and discovery. I have a lot to be thankful for!

Join me on Facebook as I start my journey of truly being thankful in all that I have, starting September 1st through September 30th. Please post your grateful moments too!!

Enjoy your day!
