I have a habit of writing down a list of 12 things I am grateful for each day. If I know I’m going to be out in nature, I will recite them out loud. There’s just something about saying them out loud that brings more reverence to those blessings.

Do you journal as well? Would you consider journaling daily? Try it. Report back with me. I’d love to know how it has changed your life.

Today is the day I finally sign the lease on my new space for my vision. My vision of creating a sanctuary for women in the midst of NYC. It took months, but I never lost the vision or the desire to do so. It was worth the wait and I'm happy I didn't give up. There were definitely times I was about to settle for a shared space or something really small. But, I decided to stay the course. 

Is there a desire or dream that you have been wanting to manifest in your life? Don't ever give up on your dream!
