Gratitude List #13

Friday, 27 November 2015
snow flakes flutter
                    small graces
falling softly
on
this
tensed-up body
that cannot help but react to cold-nothingness

but,
still,
the small graces fall

if you catch the beauty of this ice world
where one waits
in the bare,
not barren emptiness,
small graces
become
larger
than
life
miracles
not heard
but only seen
by eyes that truly see . . .

thank you for small graces as i wait for the fullness,
promised to me.

Gratitude List #12

Friday, 30 October 2015
These mysterious graces fill me with gratitude . . .
                             integrity checks from the Spirit in the middle of the night
                                                                       moving my life to the rhythms of repentance
                             a quiet life of hope, anchored on contentment and peace
                             wisdom-vision to see right from wrong
                             and desire to obey
                             not out of duty
                             or law
                             but the joy of being loved
                             outrageously.

thank you for loving me and believing in who I am becoming.

I love you.

Want to Change the World? 3 Things to Remember

Thursday, 22 October 2015

This post is for dreamers. Dreamers who’ve been awakened to something bigger than themselves. Dreamers who know, even if vaguely, that they just cannot continue to live the way they’ve lived so far. Dreamers who feel in the depths of their soul, that somehow they are called to change the world!

If this is you then, this post is for you.

Gratitude List #11

Friday, 9 October 2015
I am grateful for the gift of time, given to me to grow in patience, out of pride, and more in love.

I am grateful for the slow pace of life I'm in right now, because I am realising this is really a gift given to me to savour life, not survive it.

I am grateful for faithful friends who step up and support me in prayer during my times of pain.

I am grateful for mature people who are willing to listen to the pain inside, without judgment or a need to fix me.

I am grateful for the forgiveness and love of God, which sustains me even during my times of deep anger at Him.

I am grateful for Canada, a country which helped me emerge into who I really am.

I am grateful for the papa-bear who's put in my life to remind me about things that really move God's heart.

I am grateful for opportunities.

I am grateful that my dreams don't come easy; that wars are waged over them, and the person I am becoming. I am grateful that I am learning to fight for matters most.

I am thankful for 


the simplicity of a child,

These things are precious
freedom
love
ability to make positive choices
courageous perseverance
humility.

I am grateful for those who
give me freedom to be who I am with them;
love me with all my flaws;
encourage me to make choices that lead to change;
inspire courage in me;
and finally,
those who keep me grounded and humble :D

Gratitude List #7

Friday, 28 August 2015

  • I am so grateful for the joy of possibility, which is slowly awakening in me. When I think of possibility, how can I not think of the seasons past of impossibility, the seasons of restriction? Indeed, it was during those times of limitation that this ability to enjoy the little things in life, the practice of gratitude, the discipline of being content, the establishment of truth - that I am loved and therefore I am enough - were learned over and over and over again. 
  • I am grateful that the actualization of who I am in the Love of the Father has nothing to do with me trying to fix myself or trying harder, or due to any self-improvement. Indeed when I rest in the Love of the Father, all things are added unto me, even the realization of who I really am and what I am to do on earth in the little time that is afforded me. 
  • I am grateful for the ability to dream and the courage to turn impossibilities into possibilities and possibilities into reality. 
  • I am so very thankful for those who supported me at CNIB and at the U of Winnipeg. You make a difference in my life. Without you, I could not have come this far.

Gratitude List # 6

Friday, 21 August 2015
Okay, this isn't a list. But what can you expect from an artist, right? Anyway, I thought of mixing up the bullet lists and doing my practice of gratitude in a creative way. If you don't already know, I practice 3 Key Rituals in my life and creative journey, gratitude being one of them. You can read more about it here - LIFESTYLE OF AN ARTIST: THREE RITUALS FOR CREATIVE LIVING





Let me know what you think of the new format, or what you are grateful for this week?

Gratitude List # 5

Friday, 14 August 2015
I missed last week's Gratitude List because I was involved in renos and the move to our first home. Very exciting time, this is. So much to be grateful for.

I am grateful for
  • Family who keep teaching me what love looks like - that it does something, either big or small
  • Peace of heart and mind carrying us through this time of change
  • Upcoming graduate studies at the U of W in Curatorial Practices
  • Friends who helped us move and put our new house in order 
  • Acceptance to the Auxiliary Gallery at the Cre8ery Gallery and Studio 
  • Love that prevailed during times of hardship, and prepared us to "see" the big and small blessings that are always with us
  • The strength of God
