10 Things That Make Me Happy And Grateful

Jennifer Mannion at Heal Pain Naturally tagged me to write about 10 Things That Make Me Happy. And grateful. I tend to think too abstract, so today I’m going to ground myself and write about specific 10 things in my life (in no particular order):

1. Trees. The area I live have so many trees. Tall cedars. Round maples. Smaller ones in blossoms. I feel like I can talk with them if I just practice a bit more. They are beautiful.

2. Hibiscus tea. Mine is from The Republic of Tea, Organic Glowering Fruit Tea. It’s supposed to be good for the lower chakra, but I also think it’s heavenly.

3. Comments. I love reading comments on this blog. It’s very encouraging. Writing can feel like a lonely work sometimes, and the comments help me remember there are people all over the world who are reading this. And Yes to Me gets quite many comments – thank you.

4. When I wake up feeling refreshed, get most of my Akashic Record Reading work done in the morning so that I can spend the afternoon writing and doing the phone sessions, that is a great feeling. It doesn’t always work that way – I’m just a human and not always in my best condition, and some readings take longer than usual (which I feel compassionate for), but when it does, I feel peace.

5. Referrals. The best part of my business is it delights my clients. I guess I can make money in so many ways, but this feeling of bringing positive change to people’s lives is priceless. I am so happy when my clients say “This is great. Can you do this for my (spouse, child, friend, etc.)” Such an honor.

6. People who understand there are seasons for produce and fish. For the total of 13 years, I lived in the inland states where everyone thinks fillet of fish is the same taste year round. Like something that comes from a factory. Now I’m in Oregon, I see ads that celebrates the salmon season has arrived! God bless.

7. Bath. I like the hot bath in winter, and I still like it in summer. I’m Japanese.

8. Air conditioner. I’m a houseplant – I must be in the right temperature. The portable air I bought this year is a bit noisy (it’s not any noisier than any air, but when it is sitting only a few feet away from my desk, it can be distracting.), but it sure beats the afternoon heat.

9. Locally grown berries. It’s now raspberry season. Did I already write about berries a few weeks ago? Am I too much of a foodie? I love going to grocery stores since I moved to Oregon.

10. My health. I’ve in good health all my life basically. Never broke a leg, either – all original parts. My knees are a bit weak and I need to be careful about what exercise I do and how much, but all in all, I feel good about my physical body.

Wow, this simple exercise does make me feel good! I realize how abundant the world is!

Now I’m tagging my fellow psychics to share this goodie:

Monica Flores published her eBook “Fifty-One Ways to Build your Community of Clients Online” Good job, Monica!

My article “What We Can Learn From Successful Entrepreneurs” just appeared on Pick The Brain. It’s about the Interview With Successful Entrepreneurs I’ve been doing on this blog. Even if you missed any post in the series, don’t miss this article – it’s a crunch course of great entrepreneurship.

I’d like to take this opportunity to express my gratitude to all the interview guests of the series. And this is an ongoing series – if you know someone who has built a profitable business that resonate with who he or she is, please let me know. Or do you know any online entrepreneur you are interested? Let me know in the comment. (The interview is not limited to online entrepreneurs, but because I’m online, I’m assuming majority of the interview guests have online presence.)

My Law of Attraction Dream Money Project, Week 5, $1600

I’m starting to realize how challenging it is to expand my wealth consciousness. $1600! I’m looking around my house (I mean, currently my apartment.) Do I have anything that cost me more than $1000? My leather sofa was just under $1000 several years ago, I think. Oh, I have the sleep number bed (I don’t quite like it because it sags in the middle, but it is comfy). I think that’s about it. . . Gee, I didn’t know how cheap I was . . .

So what do I want to do if I had this dream money? Something I really enjoy, something I would actually get given the chance . . .

I’d like to go to antique shops. I love antique furniture and potteries. I hope to find an old tansu chest. I need a chest of drawers in my bedroom, but I’ve been putting off the purchase because I hate getting a junk. If I’m buying a large piece of furniture, I want to get something of quality. Now an antique chest may be beyond “quality” but it will be so nice . . . And living in the Pacific coast side, I may get lucky to find a tansu chest, made of solid wood and beautiful iron brackets.

By the way, I’m reading an interesting book called “How Ordinary People Became Millionaires” which has a lot to do with entrepreneurs. (Majority of millionaires are entrepreneurs.) I will write the review next week.

How will you use $1600 of dream money?
