Celebrating 2023: A month of gratitude- Day 12

Hello again! I’ll keep it short and sweet today.


Today is my late Gran’s birthday. Every year around this time, I receive a blessing. It makes me feel like she always has my back. Happy Heavenly Birthday, Granny Molly and Thank you!


So we started the day with the fantastic news that my son passed Grade 9. I am officially the mom of a grade 10’er! Whoop whoop! I am so proud of my child.


I also had a good laugh today. Here I am, so proudly patting myself on the back for my courage this year, when the Universe popped in to say that I need to dig deeper because it has a new work challenge for me. I mean, comfort zones are overrated, right??? So, in 2024, I get to be involved in a project that really excites me. It’s going to be a challenging and enriching year. Even more than 2023 has been. I am very, very excited and very grateful.

That’s it for today! What are you looking forward to in 2024?

Stay blessed!

Celebrating 2023: A Month of Gratitude – Day 8

My home is my safe haven. My son and I have lived here longer than anywhere else. We have had a lot of firsts here and lots of highs and lows. My home is does not look perfect but it is where my son and I get to be our perfectly imperfect selves every single day. I love my home and I am very grateful for it. I am also grateful that I can afford it in these very turbulent times. I am thankful that I made it through another year in my home.

It’s also 3 years this month since I bought my car. I thought the novelty of driving her would have worn off by now but I still love it! It is such a zippy little car. I am grateful to own the car that I do and to still be able to have fun driving it.

Celebrating 2023: A Month of Gratitude – Day 7

I passed my exams!!! I cannot begin to tell you how grateful I am to have achieved this! I needed to complete just 2 more subjects this year in order to graduate with my BA Honours in Psychology. I earned a distinction for one and scraped through by the skin of my teeth with the other but I will take it! A pass is a pass!

I also what to say thank you to all who have congratulated me and especially to my friend, Gayle, who went out with me to have a coffee to celebrate. Alcohol is not really my thing anymore but coffee is definitely life!

I am grateful for the privilege of being able to study a little later than most. As I mentioned in a previous post, I am a bit of a late bloomer. My curiosity around why we do what we do only became apparent to me when I joined the R&D team. My desire to learn about and understand psychological principles only became apparent to me 10 years ago. I would really love to spend the rest of my days doing tons of academic research especially around the psychology of consumerism. I suspect there is a lot to uncover as well as the mind, body and spirit connection. Watch this space…
