ATTITUDE GRATITUDE
Gratitude... So simple, yet so easy to overlook...
There is SUCH beauty and power in gratitude! It cures a lot of the challenging, stressful, frustrating and confusing moments in life.
As of lately, I have had the opportunity to shed love and light toward all that I am grateful for. I started a practice of taking 5-10 minutes every morning to express and feel gratitude for my life and all that she encompasses. I will testify in saying that this has been an incredible daily tool in creating and attracting great things throughout the day... Truly! It can massively shift our perception. This can be done through meditation, prayer, thought, writing, etc... Whatever resonates and feels most comfortable!
I encourage you to take a few minutes for yourself everyday in just being and embracing all that YOU ARE and all that surrounds YOU.
You are magnificent... You are purpose... You are YOU!
Today I am grateful for so many things.
I am grateful for life... This beautiful, complex, and inspiring life.
I am grateful for the unfailing and unconditional love our Heavenly Father has for ALL of us.
I am grateful for our Savior, Jesus Christ... For His sacrifice and His perfect love... He is with ALL of us through our ups and downs... We are never alone! I have experienced His comfort in my life and know this to be undeniable TRUTH in my heart!
I am grateful for Mother Earth... For her beauty and her strength. And for all of the marvelous living creatures that she houses in her waters, sky and land...
I am grateful for growth, opposition and experience.
I am grateful for all of my brothers and sisters... And that we are in this life together.
I am grateful for this moment... Right here... Right now.
What are you grateful for?
Have a beautiful week, everyone!❤
much love-

UNITY
u·ni·ty
ˈyo͞onədē/
noun
the state of being united or joined as a whole.
It is life on this earth that gives us the illusion that we are separate from one another when we are in fact all connected. Let us love one another as we love ourselves... Let us care for one another as we care for ourselves... And let us allow others to love and care for us... Openly and vulnerably. It is my belief that this is what life is all about... Uniting as one in kindness and love. There is always an opportunity to look outside ourselves by making a positive difference for others. There is so much good in the world, but there is also a lot of hardship. It is up to us to step away from fear and judgment by learning to 'Just Love.' If we could walk in everyone's shoes, we would love everyone. No matter where we come from, no matter what we've experienced, may we always know our value and worth. Each of us exist with purpose and are here for a reason... Don't ever forget and don't ever give up!❤
JUST LOVE❤ | *UPDATE*
Hello, all!
Hope everyone is doing AWESOME!❤❤❤
September is almost here and I am so excited about it! As you have seen on Twitter, Fall time is my favorite season!☺ I will be headed to Miami in about a week and then back to Los Angeles. This Summer has been beautiful! It seems as though so much has happened...
I followed my heart by taking some major risks with my career and it. feels. FANTASTIC! I have never felt so TRUE to who I AM! My spirit is overflowing with love, enthusiasm and gratitude...
Sending love and good vibes to all my brothers and sisters of the world... Wherever you are! If you're experiencing a challenge in your life right now... Just keep going, stay positive, find gratitude for what is and trust! Life is tricky business... So much negativity out there and others around us need our positivity and encouragement! ...Whether or not we have our own problems to worry about, let us reach down within and give them all we got ...Even if it's just a pinch!❤
JUST LOVE,
Alex☺❤
