Gratitude Rampage

"How much abundance that already exists in your life do you take for granted?  How can we expect more from the Universe when we don't appreciate what we already have? Today, start to make a spiritual inventory of all your blessings. So much good happens to us, but in the rush of daily life we fail even to notice or acknowlege it."
--Sarah Ban Breathnach
My Gratitude Rampage for ....
  • Nick_and_sam_on_the_river_rocks My boys who are the loves of my life and my teachers, my inspirers, the ones who get me to open my eyes anew every single day and see life through their perspective.

Picture_005 Marc, my loving soulmate, who shows me the world...both physically, emotionally and spiritually. Here's to "Oceans of Possiblities" my love...

Discovering Jack Johnson and his witty, soul-ful and oh so delightful tunes, especially inspiring to write my blog by.........

  • Home_decor All those people who love Christmas so much that they spend lots of money and time and effort to put up outrageous Christmas decorations in their front yards - just so I can hear my boys squeal with delight when we ride past! (Maybe that's from all my years of overseeing Christmas decorations being put up in shopping malls until wee hours of the morning!)

For my special friend Sally, who has been by my side loving me and my process over the last few years as I've found myself, lost myself, and found myself again. You bring lightness, laughter love to being a best friend. (and a gracious surrogate mom for my boys at the last minute!)

To my girlfriends, Valerie, Jamie and Sherean, who are Joyful Entrepreneurs in their heart and constantly show me what a powerful, commited, creative, successful and loving woman can look like!

Shari, my fab web wonder, who so gets the expression of the "Joyful Empire" in her graphic design.

Dawn, my virtual strategic partner, who strategizes, inspires and makes things happen while I'm busy doing "my thing"!

The Entrevis Advisory Council who calls me forth each week to support and create according to my natural & learned strengths.  Jeff, George, Teresa, Samy & Mary Beth I love each one of you and what you bring to the world.

Bright sun on chilly crisp wintery days.

Books, books, books and all those who are passionate enough to write them. They have been a part of my world as long as I have a memory. They have been partners in possibilities, escapes, tears, joy and new beginnings.

Danusia for her Strong Woman Chronicles who is reminding me that as strong women we all look different AND I AM a strong woman.

To whoever wrote Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer. I never seem to get tired of hearing the various versions of the song from Sam, my 4 year old son as he tries to repeat all the reindeer names....over & over sometimes successfully and always creatively...You know Dasher and Dancer, Prancer & Vixen, Comet & Cupid, and Donner & Blitzen.....(he taught me well).

Digital Photo technology - as frustrating as it can be sometimes, I love being able to just select, crop and print....whip together a new gift, an album or an update for the "ol frig.

My 8 year old's last two teachers. Mrs. Angelucci and Mrs. Sutton. They love boys, they GET busy, active boys and know how to love 'em & create a learning style that works for him (and several other energetically fully boys!).

the magical sound of windchimes...always brings delight and a smile. (So you may be saying...this is all interesting...what does this have to do with being an entrepreneur? EVERYTHING!  To know what delights you, inspires you and makes you smile....you can create more consciously  and THAT is how you start to create your own flow......tap into your creativity by creating your environment...)

I'll be adding to this list as the holidays continue.....

With peace & joy,

Laura
