Bon Anniversaire Gratitude Journal!
A year ago today I woke to an email that changed my life completely. It was from Apple saying that my iPhone app, Gratitude Journal, was approved.
Like all anniversaries, I like to reflect on the year and note how far I had come. And nothing compares to this past year with my little buddy, Gratitude. This little app has put me in touch with people all over the world, all walks of life. People who are passionately sharing their artistic talents. And others who just wanted to let me know that the app has helped them through a particularly hard time.
It has expanded the opportunities in my life profoundly. I’m working with amazing talent who teach me something new everyday. I’m honored to be on their team.
But mostly, it has given me a confidence I never had before. Or perhaps it’s a feeling of peace rather than confidence. Sure, I still want to get a nose job and shed a few pounds. But that’s not it. For the first time I really, truly like who I am. I accept my mistakes as learning opportunities and know that the universe wants the best for me. For all of us. And I discovered how happy I am when I’m sharing my talents with others helping those I meet get ahead.
I have each and everyone of you to thank for making this past year one of the best ever. Your encouragement and friendship was an unexpected blessing that catapulted me out a slump and into a new way of thinking. We all have a gem inside of us. And by sharing yours, you changed my life. Thank you.

Congratulations! I had tried doing a gratitude journal several times but didn’t stick with it. I had only missed one day with the app Gratitude Journal until the Holidaze started. Now that I’m done with my preparations I can get back on track again.
Thanks for this app! I’m using it
And i love reading your blog with lovely pictures in it!! Keep writing
