Dear life - april's shine day 33

Dear Life,

Today a very special thank you for the "4Ms" - the mastermind that I started visiting recently. It's a warm and caring, conscious place to talk about business and I enjoy it a lot. 

Thank you for V. and his passion for drawing and playing. I know most of the kids are like that but what are we doing to our kids? 
We are teaching them to walk and run and then we say: sit down! 
We are teaching them to talk and sing and then we say: be quiet!
We are teaching them to see everything and then we say: look only at the teacher and pay attention only to that!

As much and as long as I am able to, I intend to preserve my son's freedom to jump and run, talk and sing whenever he want to, look wherever, every moment of our lives.

Also a big thank you for the inspiration to go on and ask about the missing piece of my pasta machine. I have found it and bought it and this afternoon I am going to use it and be belated :-) I am making no pasta, just Ficroes - but just as well :-)

I am also grateful for seeing so many people holding this kind of gratitude lists online! I have come across three only in the last two days! I find that being grateful is making us so aware of the gifts we already have in our lives and it is a great anchor for shining our life. More people shining means less sorrow and emotional turmoil, more conscious people means less war and fights. This is a vision I hold for the world and I hope to see it become truer every day.

A lot of great ideas lately - about my art and business, like really communicating with my art - and with my business as well - as in communication partners.. I am going to write a meditation visualization for it tomorrow as I am having a blast:-)

And the weather...! Cannot thank you enough for the great weather!! So sosososososo beautiful! And my garden is alive, the birds are happy, I am soon going to plant my plants - and I am grateful that the may winter with snow and cold winds did not reach us. 

The last before last point - I want to thank you for today is the idea to join the 30 days vid challenge, of Marisa Murgatroyd. 
It is so interesting to see everybody's videos - very time consuming and addictive also:-) 
If until now I could easily de-connect from Facebook and the mail - this group is really difficult to stay away from - as there are hundreds of participants and all of them fascinating (yeah, now I finally understand the attraction of reality TV!!!!).. 

There are also a few big lessons in there for me, and that only after 3 days!! - so I am looking forward to learn from it even more as I strive for at least 30 vids at the end of the challenge.. (and maybe a prize!!) :-)

It is calling me on my visibility issues, on my "how to say things" part, on my accent, on my "long story - make it shorter" part and many many others. 

My today's video was even more interesting than the first two as I decided to talk about "living on brand" - in other words living my own light.. It was a sudden and wonderful realization - that being authentic is exactly what means living on brand - because "branding" myself means living fully the life I came on Earth to live. This is such a HUGE thing to understand for me!!

And lastly - and amazing thing happened, Jani Franck mentioned Shining Mama in one of her last blogs, putting me on the same heart list with some of my heroes of all times (note to self to check the other ones more thoroughly): Leonie Dawson and Sark!! 

I was jumping up and down and so high that I almost touch the ceiling!! .. Now you wish you were there to see that, don't you! :-)
