Happy Thanksgiving Weekend

This blog started with a friend sending me this inspiring quote: Be thankful for what you have; you’ll end up having more. If you concentrate on what you don’t have, you will never, ever have enough.” – Oprah Winfrey

As I was forwarding it to some friends I thought this quote could use a bit of clarification so we're not thinking it means 'we're just settling for what life has flung our way.' So I modified it like this: I've found that when we're thankful for what we have which is what we have asked for, and keep open to receive - we’re are blessed even more. When we focus on lack, there is never enough.

We were born with freedom of choice and the ability to co-create our lives. Our thoughts become things. What we think about is what we get. Co-creating our lives involves three steps: asking (that's up to us), answering (that is our Source Energy's response) and receiving (again that's up to us to not block the receipt of what we asked for with thoughts of 'lack' or unworthiness). Many times we may think we are asking for what we desire and in reality our thoughts are based more on the lack of, or not having what would make us happy. There may be a fine line between one type of thought and another. The main way to know which we are doing is again based on how good we feel when we're asking and being in a state of receiving.  
The basis of life is freedom, the result of life is expansion and the purpose of life is joy! Thanks Esther and Jerry Hicks for your book, Ask and It Is Given.

I think I have to do this little by little. I love the dancing videos of Matt. I can't express how much I love them. I read the background on Matt and I honestly am shocked. I like how they say, "Matt was a very poor student and never went to college. When he got older, he was pleased to discover that no one actually cares. Matt doesn't want to imply that college is bad or anything. He's just saying is all. There's other ways to fill your head."
I agree 100%. I think those are great videos, the music just makes you bounce your head, and just the way he dances makes you laugh the entire time, AND I LOVE when people join him in dancing!

I really want to dance with him one day haha.
