When we marry intention with action, miracles happen.
This is so true and such powerful wisdom.

Okay – now for today’s post:
Sometimes life throws you a curve ball, and you get to choose to stay open and see where it takes you.
I was planning to write a gratitude post today about a wonderful appreciation meditation that I just learned, which is very helpful in tuning in to all of the good in our lives and helpful for attracting more positive things to us.
(And I promise I will write this post very soon!)
And then life took over, which sometimes happens, doesn’t it? 🙂
The curve ball is that Dan and I found a sweet cat late last night, and we were up almost all night spending time with her. We have our fingers crossed that we will find her home – it’s very obvious that she was well taken care of and very loved.
So while I had planned on making journals, filling orders, and writing today – I will instead be putting up signs, going to the vet, and spending time with my new friend.
And while I feel exhausted and a bit frazzled, I am so grateful that we found this sweet kitty and can hopefully reunite her with her family. I am so grateful that we were in the right place at the right time. I am so grateful that she trusted me enough to let me pick her up and take her home.
I am grateful for unexpected gifts and wonderful new furry friends.
I am grateful for being able to stay flexible and continue this journey with an open heart.
And I am grateful that my intended post will come out when the time is right.
Here’s to all of us being grateful for everything in our lives (including the curve balls).

A writing prompt from
Have you ever been helped by a stranger?
If you could tell them how grateful you are for them, what would you say?
Many years ago I was involved in a car accident.
I was in complete shock and crawled from my car to the sidewalk to lie down.
A lot of that moment is a blur, but I do remember many people immediately rushing over to help me. One man in particular will stay with me forever – and I would especially want to thank him for his selfless kindness and compassion.
He somehow found a pillow or a blanket to put under my neck. And because it was summertime and very hot, he held an umbrella over me to shield me from the sun. I was hurting, crying, and scared, and he was so soothing and comforting. He just kept saying that help was on the way and that everything was going to be okay. And then before I knew it, I was put into the ambulance and taken to the hospital.
I regret not having the chance to thank him. I wish I had gotten his contact information.
He is such a kind soul and just going back and reliving that moment brings me such a sense of calmness and gratefulness – all because of him.
He made me want to be a better person.
His selfless actions that day affirmed the goodness that is in everyone.
I will forever be grateful to him.
Can you think of a moment in your life when a complete stranger helped you in some way and made your life better?
