Day Five: Gratitude for Money

Good afternoon! What a beautiful day this has turned out to be! My body feels so energized, my mind is super rejuvenated, and I just feel so grateful to be here! I love that I'm sharing my journey with everyone. I haven't felt this amazing since I first moved out to Los Angeles.

Day 5 deals with being grateful for the money I have. The assignment for the day is to grab a sticky, write "Thank You For All The Money I've Been Given Throughout My Life!" I put it in my wallet where I knew I would see it at least 3 times throughout the day.

The meaning of this assignment is to become grateful for all the money I have right now and everything I have been given. I've been working full time ever since I was legal to work in the United States so I've always had an income coming in. It's strange to me that I am unemployed now but I'm so grateful for the opportunity that being unemployed brings. I am grateful that I paid my rent today! It was a terrific feeling! THANK YOU!

So as I was saying the magic words, I was driving Malia to the studio so she can apply make-up on an actress for a headshot client. Malia gets a text from the photographer saying if I help, she'll pay me $20. Of course I could have said no and focused my energy on writing more blogs, thinking of ways to make money, or twiddling my thumbs but of course I said YES! I love my money, no matter what fashion it comes in. Coins, bills, checks, gift cards, etc. :)

So not only was I grateful for what I did have, I magically got $20 for helping out at something I didn't even plan to do! I felt AMAZING! I wanted to parade it around. $20 is a big deal. $1 is a big deal so I made sure to do a little dance for the random money I made today. I can't wait for the random checks I'll be getting in the mail soon! For doing what? Being grateful for the money I have! :)

Light, Love, and Blessings!
