Giving Thanks
"When we give cheerfully and accept gratefully, everyone is blessed.”
- Maya Angelou
I am so incredibly grateful and feel so blessed! I had the most amazingly wonderful day yesterday! First thing in the morning, I woke up to an email from my agent, Owen Burnham. He wrote to tell me that he has two publishers interested in publishing my book, A Woman's Guide to Transformation! He and I will discuss the contracts and decide on the best publisher soon. I will have a contract and a publisher before the end of the year. What an awesome way to start the day! Especially wonderful because yesterday was the day that I hosted our annual Thanksgiving Celebration here in NZ. I had 25 friends over for a sit down dinner, turkey and all the trimmings, sitting outside by the stream, under our spectacular Pohutukawa Tree. A glorious setting to celebrate life and express our gratitude. We did a Gratitude Circle first with everyone contributing (we even had Jeff in the circle via Skype!) and I was able to announce to my close friends that my agent has found me a publisher. What a fantastic way to share my news. It was a beautiful afternoon and evening. I felt so loved and so grateful. Truly a day to be thankful.This video clip is especially fitting, titled simply: Gratitude. Enjoy!
