Gratitude Friday 2/3. Gratitude challenge week 5.
“You simply will not be the same person two months from now after consciously giving thanks each day for the abundance that exists in your life. And you will have set in motion an ancient spiritual law: the more you have and are grateful for, the more will be given you.” — Sarah Ban Breathnach, author of “Simple Abundance”

Love and blessings, blessings and love.
Gratitude Wednesday 2/1—Signs of spring at Imbolc. And more. Of course.
Before I start rhapsodizing about the signs of springs everywhere I look (and in my belly!), I want to express some serious gratitude for this period of discernment and learning that I am in.
I am so crazy grateful that I put the brakes on. Stopped the (more desperate than I care to admit) marketing merry-go-round enough to take stock. It was clear to me: My mission, my gift, my services deserved to be better presented. I deserved to get clarity about what I am about, who I am here to serve, and then to implement what I learn.
I am studying with a brilliant heart-centered coach, I’m studying the art of Awakening Joy, I’m stepping into my Shero’s Journey with Jen Louden. I’m reading about healing. And I’m distilling all that I’m learning into new messaging and new offerings. And I’m raising my Amazon shield and ululating my geschrei — that’s Yiddish for a loud yell — and trusting the goddess, and the faith that others have in me even when I can’t feel it myself, and moving forward every day.
It takes chutzpah to invest time and treasure in myself. I have always had plenty of chutzpah for others, but turning it back around so that it was for me, not so easy! I am so grateful that I finally created the space for me to express the longing, ask the ask, and open to receive.
So…on to Signs of Spring!
February 1st. Day before Imbolc. The midpoint between winter and spring. And I’m seeing signs of spring everywhere!
Seriously.
Starting with the asparagus. I thought my sister was crazy when she asked me if I’d seen California asparagus at the market yet. Thought it was about two weeks too soon. Well! Yesterday at Berkeley Bowl, there it was, California asparagus. Which I grilled this morning, right in time for my lunch. In case you’ve never, here’s how: high direct heat, covered (at least on a gas grill, which is what I use), four minutes, then turn, and depending on size of spears another three or four minutes.
About the size: pencil asparagus don’t grill up as perfectly as medium spears like these do. The ratio of outer char to inner tender perfection doesn’t really work with the skinny ones (they become all char, not much left on the inside). Same with the jumbos, just the other way ’round. To get them perfectly cooked on the inside, the outside will probably go beyond tasty char to seriously blackened.
So, stick with the medium spears and light the grill. Don’t have a grill? Roast them. I don’t have the time and temperature specs on roasting, but I’m sure you can find that in a few seconds of Googlemancy.
I remember when I lived on the east coast (NYC, most of my life, until 1994), and at the beginning of February you could see just the faintest signs of spring. At least if there had been some mild days in the mix. Then you could see hint of swelling on the buds on the trees, and sometimes the tiniest tips of snowdrops and crocuses starting to poke up in the cracks between the paving stones, in the dirt around trees, up through the snow.
Now I live in California, where on my daily walks, I am already seeing flowers in bloom. These pictures were taken in the last few days. An unusually early spring, they say. And while we need more wintry rain, I’m loving the signs of quickening everywhere I look!
And the magnolias are starting to bloom. The topmost branches of some magnolias that get sun are starting to blossom. Getting to be close to time to get together with my kid and have our annual magnolias photo shoot.
Many photos of magnolias to come. That’s a promise!
Gratitude Monday 1/30
I am so grateful! What a beautiful Monday morning.
I’m up and dressed.
I’m wearing the Double Time watch (I have it set to local time and Pele time) and the new tshirt I got when I exchanged a Yule gift yesterday. Well, the exchange plus $18. It’s been a long time since I had something to wind and that ticks when I hold it to my ear. Nice!
The Candle holders from this weekend’s rituals are cleaned (de-waxed) and put away.
Actually the whole basket of altar decorations is unpacked and put away. The scarf I used for a table decoration has even had the wax ironed out of it.
I’ve begun my altar alterations. Creating a distinct altar for Pele and one for Brighde and one for Oshun. I have never worked with a goddess of pleasure before and I think it’s about time!!!
The graphic designer in me is so happy. I discovered how to make a creditable CMYK gold that looks more like gold and less like baby diarrhea. Hooray! And it looked good printed out too. This is a very big deal!
I’m so grateful for the rituals this weekend. For writing and delivering the astro report. For being asked to drum. For honoring Sunna, the sun, at the midpoint between winter and summer. And for being asked to invoke ancestors, of blood, of family of choice, of community. For drumming again. For creating altars and takeaways.
Our takeaways included luck envelopes (in honor of the Lunar New Year). And Rowan (my partner in all things takeaway and altar) and I took the leftover lucky envelopes and luck-bombed Alameda yesterday. We took a 3+ mile walk and tied lucky envelopes to trees and fences all along our walk. Powerful magic!
I’m grateful that my house gets cleaned today, deeper and more thoroughly than the cleaning I do myself.
And finally I am insanely grateful that my intestinal distress (diarrhea every day since November 3rd) is finally beginning to change. Hallelujah!
Love and bright blessings to all.
Gratitude: daring, courageous and beautiful — Grat Challenge week 4!
I did this: I walked into Bank of America and closed my accounts yesterday. The move from giant bank to local bank is done. (At least I hope it’s done. I hope everything has cleared. I really really do hope I was thorough!)
There was a slight feeling of anticlimax. I was expecting at least to be asked Why. So I volunteered the Why, told the bank officer who was pounding at the keyboard closing my accounts that I want to bank local. He shrugged. Sigh. It may not be important to him; it’s important to me.
Drove down the road to Bank of Alameda and handed Georgeanne my check. I love that she and her bank manager know me by name.
It is done. It is done. It is done!
I am so grateful for three new pairs of SmartWool socks. Including a pair of knee socks. Knee socks make me laugh, make me feel like a kid.
SmartWool and local banking: these things fill me with joyful gratitude.
I am so grateful for my daily walks. It’s three weeks now that I’ve been doing this: long enough to groove a neural pathway (make a new habit). Here’s what I do: I walk carrying nothing, so my arms are free and can gently swing. I walk for 30 minutes. I listen to something. Either some funny or inspirational talk, or to music. I’ve even made a playlist of music I love that’s between 111 and 119 BPM—a tempo range that inspires me to walk in rhythm and with a little bounce. I love my walks.
Sometimes I walk by the bay. Many days I walk by the bay. And many days I urban-walk. Yesterday, just as it was getting dark, I walked from my gym to and around Oakland’s Chinatown. People watching, storefront watching. Listening to great music.
I am grateful for the things that bring me joy. Writing this post and listening to music I love. I have another playlist called Now. I just added these songs to it. Music to wake up to. Music that makes me move my body and sing.
Now playing

So grateful for the music of my formative years. The neuroscience geeks say that the music we hear and love from our mid-teens to our late 20s is the music that means the most to us for our whole lives. I also think this is true. I have more emotional connection to the music I was lucky enough to hear at that time in my life than any other music I have loved since.
Gratitude challenge. I am so grateful for the gratitude challenge group. This week I read gratitudes for rain (yes, more rain!), good rest, family, friends, inspired cooking, favors asked and received, lessons learned with grace, generosity extended, and real Tupperware. I gotta say, the more I do this stuff—play the Gratitude game—the more I am convinced that pointing ourselves towards gratitude is a huge act of daring, courage and beauty. Just like waking up every day intending to be happy. Another level of chutzpah. Try it!
“He is a wise man who does not grieve for the things which he has not, but rejoices for those which he has.”
— Epictetus, Greek sage and Stoic philosopher

What’s your January takeaway? What’s your theme for 2012?
There’s been an amazing flow of teleclasses, blogposts, ebooks, trainings this January. They’re everywhere! Just yesterday I signed up for what feels like my thirteenth series of mind-expanding, powerful teleclasses of the month.
January is a month full of powerful offers of support for creating intentions, setting goals, starting out on the path of creating new habits, learning new things. Myself, I’m taking a year-long course, Awakening Joy, which offers monthly evenings of neuroscience of happiness geekery, singing, dancing and meditation. And I’m offering my own teleclass (details below) in a couple of weeks.
As the month winds down, I find myself finally slowing down and discerning what’s most important. I love the idea of creating a central theme for the year. Inspired by the Soul Spackle blog, I’m going with a single word as my theme. A word that will be the center point of all my personal and business growth efforts, that will be the mirror in which I check myself, my thoughts, my words and my actions every day.
My word for this year is Joy. The attributes that Joy contains include:
Ease
Acceptance
Love
Wonder
Simplicity
Connection
Gratitude
Courage
The working hypothesis: The more wellbeing I can connect to in myself, the more of a gift I can give to others.
I don’t do Joy naturally, I’m not very good at it. I always blamed it on nurture, that I was raised in a house where grumpiness and rage ruled. Turns out as humans, we are by nature set up to look for what’s wrong. It’s a protective survival technique. As James Baraz says in the Awakening Joy text, “…the brain is like Velcro for negative experiences and like Teflon for positive ones.” It takes a lot of practice to groove new neural pathways that point to, look for the joyful.
I’m going for it! I’m going for that state we can achieve when we’re not under stress, where we can be
calm
content
conscious
creative and
caring
So. I’m committing to joy and running everything—all my habits, choices, actions—through the joy filter, checking in with myself and asking: Is this thing I’m contemplating going to lead me toward joy or away from joy? This is a deceptively simple and quite elegant idea (wish I had thought of it before!).
What’s your theme for 2012 going to be? Share in the comments!

Enter the (water) dragon
Happy lunar new year! Today in the last day of the New Moon in Aquarius window, we celebrate the first day of the year of the water dragon.
According to a post on 2012dragon.com: “The Dragon is in fact the major symbol of good fortune in Chinese Astrology. The Dragon constellation, for example, is accorded the honor of being the guardian of the Eastern sky. According to tradition the Dragon brings in the Four Blessings of the East: wealth, virtue, harmony and longevity.
“Indeed, of the 12 signs of the Chinese zodiac the Dragon is the most special, as it is a mystical being rather than an earthly animal. It is sometimes called a karmic sign. In this context that means we can expect grand things this year. Bigger than life is very much a Dragon thing.”
What a powerful metaphor as we step into the last half of winter, which in the bay area, is when the first signs of spring are everywhere.
Now if you’re not a crazy New Yorker transplant like me, you might not be so springtime alert. But me, I’m the one who walked the icy slushy streets of New York in February, the cruelest month, year after year, squealing “Look at the buds on the trees!” “See the tips of the crocuses and snowdrops poking up in the cracks in the sidewalks!” And yes my friends rolled their collective eyes at me. (What else is new?)
So yeah, it may be cold and rainy and rainy and cold, but I’m seeing the buds fatten up on the trees. I’ve seen two, count ‘em, two, magnolia trees with blossoms on them, high up, where the winter sun can catch a few branches.
Time for a parenthetical rant. I have never put this in writing, but my friends all know that I still, after nearly 20 years in California, fail to understand what happened to seasons here, as they pertain to magnolias. Where I come from (Brooklyn y’all), the magnolias bloom around Easter, when it’s almost always mild enough weather so that the perfume of the magnolias wafts in the air and you can smell ‘em (on a pleasant day) even before you see ‘em.
But here in California? Seriously? The magnolias start to blossom in January, and peak in February, when it’s almost always gray cold and rainy. The aroma? Jam your face into a cold and damp blossom and if you’re lucky and take a very deep breath, you can get a whiff of what should be a delicious cloud of scent surrounding you.
I’ve learned to (almost completely) love the magnolias when they arrive here, because they are the first opening in the door to springtime and gardening, and new life everywhere. They coincide with Imbolc, the marker of the midpoint between winter and spring and the herald of quickening, instead of landing about a month after the spring equinox. I have almost entirely learned to cope.
Okay, rant over. Where was I?
Oh yeah. Happy lunar new year. Seatbelts fastened, change may come fast and furious!

Gratitude Challenge week 3
“Let us be grateful to people who make us happy; they are the charming gardeners who make our souls blossom.” — Marcel Proust, French novelist, critic, and essayist
Grateful for the rain. So grateful for the rain!
Grateful for healing. The bad cough, often a harbinger of longlasting compromised lungs, seems to be backing off. Yes!
Grateful for loving friends.
Grateful that Rowan would go suss out a rental listing in Alameda for me.
Grateful that my sister checked up on me.
Grateful that Heidi and Jeff took me out for New Year’s Eve (Year of the Water Dragon, starting tomorrow) dinner. A veritable feast.
Grateful for the walk around Oakland’s Chinatown today, sourcing lucky envelopes and schizandra and goji berries for ritual takeaways.
Grateful that I completed Brighde’s Dark Mirror by making a copper Brighde’s Cross for the center of it.
Grateful to be a fearless artist!
Grateful for walking every day! A half hour a day, rain or shine.
Grateful for my walking playlist.
And from my companions in gratitude, here are a few of the many gratitudes you shared that moved me this week:
from B: grateful for the sad feeling i get knowing that when she goes the whole generation above me is gone… (I assume I can be grateful for a sad feeling….b/c I am)
from A: my smiling, bouncing baby girl and a husband who doesn’t watch sports on TV
from another B: I am grateful for the gorgeous red flower blooming outside my bedroom window – and, again, that I washed those windows. Such a pleasure to have clean windows.
from K: I’m taking in the simplicity of the moment in.
Isn’t the spectrum of gratitude awesome?
Love and blessings!
Gratitude Wednesday 1/18
It’s a good morning to be grateful! Seriously.
I am grateful for the business coaching I gave myself as a gift. To be in a supported process of discernment, clarifying and repurposing my mission and offers. It is extremely exciting. Yes, it’s also kinda daunting, but exciting nonetheless!
I am grateful that I got the new page up on my website supporting the Love Letter teleclass.
And crazy grateful that for the very first time there’s a button on my website that allows people to send me money through PayPal. Talk about opening up the moneyflow!
I am grateful for a reunion visit with a friend I haven’t seen since 2005, since I left Sacramento. What a lovely visit, walking by the bay and having lunch at Vik’s Chaat. And talking about a possible project we could do together. End-to-end fabulous!
I am grateful that the Awakening Joy class begins next week. Exciting to be in a homework assignment like this one:
“…make a experiment of noticing all the good moments in your life as you go through the day. When you’re experiencing a moment of well-being, peace, happiness, gratitude, or kindness take a few moments to really let yourself feel that positive feeling….as a game, try to be present for those uplifting moments when they’re here. Take a few breaths to relax into the experience by feeling it in your body.”
Now that’s a homework assignment! Sounds like it can deepen my gratitude practice and attitude, which is what drew me to sign up in the first place.
I’m grateful for giving myself the gift of a healing session this weekend. Actually my weekend is full of gorgeous self-love stuff. A visioning, yoga and meditation workshop on Saturday, and two healing sessions on Sunday!!! Plus a haircut. Life is unbelievably rich!
I am grateful for my incredibly comfy and warm bed. For SmartWool socks, fleece shirts and working heaters. For delicious food. For being such an awesome cook. For being brave enough to sing a song to my ritual-planning mates over the phone (I am such a bad singer!). For having a deep spiritual life, with deep ritualized workings in celebration of the turning of the wheel, in reverent honoring of the goddess.
I am grateful for carrying that loving connection to spirit in my heart and for the way it informs every moment of my life.
I am grateful for working inside the spirit of International Self-Love Day on February 13th and for offering a teleclass that will help people to write a Love Letter to themselves from Spirit (which will then get mailed back to them at the end of the year). How cool is that! There’s still room, join us! Oh and it’s free (donation by open contribution, and I won’t ask you to donate until after the work is done)
Love and blessings!
Gratitude Friday the thirteenth / Gratitude Challenge Week 2
“We can only be said to be alive in those moments when our hearts are conscious of our treasures.” — Thornton Wilder, American playwright and novelist
Such a beautiful day. I feel lucky, yes I do!
I am grateful that I completed the work around Magnolias West’s mission and vision statement. And it rocks! (If you ask, I’ll share it with you; it’s awesome!)
And I’m grateful to Isabel Parlett, the Soundbite Shaman, who listened to every word and helped me put together all the facets of my mission.
I am so grateful that I got to hear Christine Arylo speak on Monday night. She is an inspired and inspiring speaker, who really really brings the love!
I am so grateful that I listened to the inner voice clamoring to be heard and, inspired by Christine, launched a teleclass to be held on International Self-Love Day. In the teleclass we’ll be Writing a Love Letter to Yourself from Spirit. It’s going to rock!! Please tell your friends!
I am so grateful that I have, as of today, walked for thirty minutes, holding nothing in my hands and letting my arms swing freely, in the fresh air, for five days in a row. I love building new habits!
I am grateful for my Gratitude Challenge cohort. Have I told you lately how moved I am by your grateful words, by the fact that you are regularly taking time to dial into gratitude?
I am grateful that I am working with such a brilliant, kind and generous coach. What a gift, you are, Yollana!
I am grateful to be so happy! Working with a new affirmation, which, I swear, is making me spring out of bed with a smile. Every day. I’m happy, delighted, to share it: I choose to have faith in love, I release my faith in fear. When/if I’m feeling the fear creep in, I stand with my hands in the position of receiving and I repeat this powerful statement three times. Try it. Warning: your grumpiness and stress just might fade away!
I am grateful for this balmy weather (although I continue to pray daily for rain rain rain!)
And I am grateful for it being Friday afternoon. Email is slowing down, I’m starting to slow down, work is getting complete for today.
Blessings!
Intentions, goals, and doubts, oh my! (and an offer…)
The year has turned,
you’ve got your goals and intentions lists done,
and you begin to wonder,
Can I do it?
You set off in the new year dancing into your most brilliant and audacious visions for yourself and your business. Good for you!
However, in moments of quiet, you might find yourself beginning to hear the whisperings of self-doubt… Can I really do it? Will I fail again? Can I ever make it happen?… When we set bold and audacious goals for ourselves, it can be a field day for all the un-self-loving thoughts and feelings that are hiding beneath the surface.
Where do you get support for your sacred intentions, enough support to hold you and encourage you to keep taking actions, to keep putting one foot in front of the other, every day, to live into your highest good?
These are critical questions for women, aren’t they? Women who walk tall, heads up and tits out, and take their place in the world, despite internal and external doubts and o
bstacles are creating so much important change. Seriously. For yourself, for your family (just think about what you’re modeling for your children when you show up in the world as your most magnificent self!), for your communities, for the world. In our culture now, especially for Americans, where women are too often portrayed and perceived in a less than empowering light, every single action you take as a queenly woman who knows what she’s about is doing a big mitzvah of healing what’s broken. Audacious for sure!
How do you get support and encouragement?
We need a big toolbox, I’m convinced, to create an atmosphere of love and support for our dreams and visions. This toolbox can and should include a variety of things. Here’s a short (and incomplete) list of the things I use for myself and in my practice with my clients:
Meditation—a daily practice by which you can keep connected to Source (the Goddess, God, nature…) and remember you are never alone
Affirmation—my affirmation for this year is I choose to have faith in love, I release my faith in fear. Whenever I feel fear creeping in, I stand in the position of receiving, feel my feet on the ground, look up and repeat it three times—Try it; it’s powerful!
Mentorship —working with a coach, an accountability buddy or a Mastermind group
Wellness—30 minutes walking in the sunshine every day does wonders, as does eating sustainably
Gratitude—a daily practice of finding ten, or fifteen!, things for which you can express gratitude creates a deep foundation that allows the possibility of a positive attitude even when things are challenging. I have a group of women with whom I share daily and weekly gratitudes. Join us!
Generosity—the partner activity that strengthens gratitude. Do something for someone else. Share of your time, treasure and talents. Lather, rinse and repeat.
Join in fun and inspiring events! Oh, and I have one coming up (nice segue into today’s offer, huh?)
Write a love letter to yourself from Spirit (the Goddess, God, nature…)
In celebration of International Self-Love Day—Christine Arylo‘s inspired and inspiring creation—on February 13, let’s get together in a teleclass to celebrate the love you can feel for yourself so strongly when you’re connected to Spirit, to Source. This is a love that will hold you in its soft embrace as you envision and act on all the audacious goals you’ve set for yourself in this new year. (Don’t worry if you haven’t set or completed your goals yet, on this call I will be guiding you to a clear vision of what’s next for you, in all areas of your life.)
In the class you will write a love letter to yourself from Spirit (the Goddess, God, nature…) congratulating you on all the awesome actions you will have taken and goals you will have achieved by the time 2012 comes to a close.
Date: Monday, February 13, 2012
TIme: 1:30–2:30pm Pacific, 10:30–11:30am Eastern
Call details will be provided upon your RSVP, which you can do right here. If for some reason you are one of the two people on the planet without a Facebook account (the event is on my Facebook page), send me a note in the comments, or an email to Sue [at] MagnoliasWest [dot] com, or a message on Twitter, or send smoke signals. We’ll get you on the call!
Cost: Open contribution. That’s right! I want to fully share this work with you, from my own loving heart, and if you feel full and complete and grateful, and want to give back at the end, then I will invite you to make a contribution to me and my work, so that I can continue doing what I am meant to do. Please relax into this open contribution idea. Toward the end of the call, I will help you work out the right amount for you to donate. For now, please enjoy this beautiful self-loving process we will be sharing together.
Last thing: If you know a woman or two who would resonate with this working, please spread the word! Thanks…
