There are so many reasons to express gratitude for ourselves as the universe for living the life we are living.

I love to journal two bullet lists: Top Ten Reasons I Thank Myself for my Transformation and Top Ten Reasons I Can Trust Myself.

What comes out of my soul into these lists is ever-changing and always reminds my conscious mind that I am the universe creating all of the outcomes I experience.

This time of year in the Northern Hemisphere is a time of deep gratitude and ancestral inquiry for many cultures on various continents.

These are times we can connect with our lineage, with the truth of healing that resides in our bones, in the genetics and dreams that our ancestors passed down to us.

How are you? How do you feel? How are you caring for yourself?

Would you take 30 seconds to answer those questions to yourself with me?

Sometimes the truth inspires uncomfortable feelings.

Vulnerability.

Exposure.

Anxiety.

Based on past experiences, we may feel afraid of telling the full truth when we sense that a present situation is like a past, traumatic situation.
