While this year has not been what any of us expected, I continue to pursue a practice of gratitude awareness to continue moving towards my best self. On good days, I’m able to express detailed appreciation for the countless blessings illuminating my life. On hard days, I struggle to list even just three simple gratitudes. This practice is easier said than done but a rewarding practice nonetheless. Abundance flows from a place of gratitude and gratitude starts with intention. My proposed intention is bringing awareness to the lights shining despite the dark.

Celebrating my birthday this month or even with the New Year around the corner, I start every manifestation for my next chapter grounded in gratitude. In the pages of my journal, I reflect on everything in the past year, good and bad, that’s had an impact on my life and acknowledge how grateful I am that all these things have led me to the person that I am right now. Thank you. For the magic. For the music. For the loves. The losses. The healing. The growth. The memories. The adventures. The life lessons. For it ALL. Recognizing the abundance in my past and present cultivates abundance for my future.
My hope is these journal prompts celebrate your visible blessings while shedding light on those that might be less apparent. Life can be pure beauty when you’re paying attention.
Much love,
Alana
