Day 14 of 21, embracing an attitude of gratitude and today I am grateful for peace. Peace that surpasses all understanding. As someone who strives to handle unexpected changes smoothly, peace doesn’t always come easy for me. I literally go through the stages of grief trying to process the loss of “what was." Like when COVID hit, my job was in jeopardy, and the volleyball seasons were cancelled and postponed. Shock of working from home and having no practice or games appeared. Denial about the severity of the situation surfaced. Anger that plans were cancelled arose. Bargaining that if “outside opened back up” I would always say yes to opportunities popped up. Extreme sadness for the loss of senior seasons, isolation, deaths, unemployment rates, travel bans, random weather (Buffalo often experiences all four seasons in one day) starters to take its toll. The list goes on and on. But it didn’t last long. I entered the stage of acceptance with an “it is what it is” mentality and just started taking it one day at time. Which really helped me stay calm. Appreciating each day. Honestly, only God could provide that level of peace amongst chaos. Cuz as we all know, 2020s been........ a year..... to say the least. So again I am so grateful for peace. And truly aiming to maintain or surpass that level of peace in all areas of my life for the rest of my life!!! So the questions for today are what do you do to be at peace? And What are you grateful for today? Let me know!! . . . . . . . . . . . . . #21daysofgratefulness #attitudeofgratitude #gratefulthankfulblessed #grateful #gratefulmindset #lifepurposecoach #lifecoach #purposefulliving #purposefullife #purposecoaching #mentalhealthadvocate #athleticlifecoach #athletemindset https://www.instagram.com/p/CHmF37WgEQq/?igshid=1d3cusywzn0ka

Day 6 of 21, embracing an attitude of gratitude and I am grateful for the allies in my life and across the world. Today I had the pleasure of co-facilitating a cultural awareness group, hearing from people about what they would want in their agency regarding having a space to share, learn, and grow with and from each other’s experience. This is tough work. Trying to encourage people to look outside their own world view and engage in conversation about another persons perspective without judgement and intention for persuasion is not a walk in the park. But having a co facilitator, who speaks the same language (as far as thinking with a trauma informed care perspective), recognizes that RACISM is real, validates my and other peoples emotions regarding racial disparities and injustices, acknowledges her privilege and leverages it to educate others, speaks out against what’s wrong, challenges her colleagues to be more open minded, owns her mistakes... that’s the definition of an ally. And and I’m proud to have her and other allies in my life. What are you grateful for today? . . . . . . . . . . . . #21daysofgratefulness #attitudeofgratitude #gratefulthankfulblessed #grateful #gratefulmindset #lifecoachinghappiness #lifepurposecoach #lifecoach #purposefulliving #purposefullife #purposecoaching #mentalhealthadvocate #gratefullifestyle #gratefulliving #ally #allyship https://www.instagram.com/p/CHRBvM5AKBN/?igshid=jzbm51obgrqw

Day 3 of 21, embracing an attitude of gratitude. Today I am grateful for my right to vote. With Americas history and CURRENT methods of voter suppression and other tactics used to disenfranchise black voters, I understand what a privilege it is to submit my ballot. It’s not just for me, but for my parents, grandparents, great grandma and my ancestors who fought for me to be able to do this. And it’s not just for those who came before me, but for those who are coming after me, my niece, my little cousins, my future children...I vote because my life, their lives, and our lives depend on it. I vote because I have the right to. I vote because my voice deserves to be heard. What are you grateful for today? . . . . . . . . . . . . #voteforchange #ivotedearly #soulstothepolls #soulstothepolls2020 #votewisely #votingismysuperpower #21daysofgratefulness #attitudeofgratitude #gratefulthankfulblessed #grateful #gratefulmindset #gratefullifestyle #gratefulliving https://www.instagram.com/p/CHIpnyPgB_4/?igshid=pwn4timdcdq7

Happy November! I pray that you and your families are well! I am walking into this month with a refreshed spirit and grateful heart. 2020 has truly taught me to be more appreciative. So over the next 21 days I am continuing to embrace an attitude of gratitude. Today, Day 1, I am grateful for my journey. Walking towards and in my purpose and helping my clients do the same. It isn’t easy, no one said it would be. But the lessons being learned along the way provide evidence that we are strong, resilient, and fully capable to handle anything that comes our way. These lessons are truly priceless! What are you grateful for today? . . . . . . . . . . . . . #21daysofgratefulness #attitudeofgratitude #gratefulthankfulblessed #grateful #gratefulmindset #lifecoachinghappiness #lifepurposecoach #lifecoach #purposefulliving #purposefullife #purposecoaching #mentalhealthadvocate #gratefullifestyle #gratefulliving https://www.instagram.com/p/CHESJXHASFk/?igshid=96lne0l2ec8s
