Top 5 Things I am Grateful for Right Now

Feeling gratitude for all of the gifts we have shared and received in 2024 and looking forward to an even better 2025 for the highest good of all.

1. Me and You (Us). Starting off, I am announcing that I opened my new Etsy shop CrystalsbyYogi. And for this I will start by thanking myself and for working up the courage to create again and to share my work publicly. It’s taken a while and a lot of daily affirmations to regain my confidence after years of negative self-talk. If there is anyone else out there who has been working on overcoming anything that has been holding you back, then I add you to this category and ask that you give yourself a pat on the back for your achievements this year.
2. My husband. Mike, has been my supporter for more than 10 years, and lately we have been delving into more and more creative projects such as 3D printing and jewelry making. It’s fun to just create and get into the flow state. I hold much gratitude for his overall support and for his ability to adapt to change when I change. I look forward to collaborating with him more this year.
3. Meditation Group (Sangha). I am part of a weekly meditation group who has been very supportive to me and all of our group members. The leader and teacher, Rhi, of Enlightened Living Meditation Center is a great person to hold space for anyone from a person who struggles with personal issues to a person who notices daily miracles. She is a beacon for unconditional love, and I always feel held and supported when I share with this group.
4. Synchronicities. I’ve been tracking synchronicities, and this is a huge one. A new meditation friend also has a successful Etsy shop TheBentWireShop. In this, I have another built-in support system and friend with wisdom to guide me through this new process of having an Etsy store. I love having friends to talk about art and creativity with because we all express uniquely. It’s very beautiful to see her successes in her jewelry shop.
5. All That Is. The universe is my greatest of all that I am in the most gratitude for. When I ask for anything, the universe shows it to me. It is astounding that we can just ask, and it is reflected to us like a mirror. The crystals that I have been working with keep me feeling clear and grounded so that I can express my inner child as heartfelt as possible. Does anyone reading this enjoy working with crystals spiritually too?
