"A Year of Gratitude"

I was inspired, several years ago, by Sarah Ban Breathnach, author of the book, 'Simple Abundance: A Daybook of Comfort and Joy." In the book, she talks about the transformative power of gratitude and encourages every person to keep a daily 'gratitude journal' by writing down at least 5 things that they are grateful for every day. I have kept a journal since I was a little girl (though sporadic, at times) and when I kept a gratitude journal in addition to my regular journal, I was amazed at the results.

This year, in an effort to combine my interests in photography, journaling and scrapbooking with my expression of daily gratitude, I've decided to embark upon a project I've entitled, "A Year of Gratitude". This is my novice attempt at photo journalism!

Everyday, I will post at least one photo and one blog (Blogspot) and status (Facebook) about at least one thing I am grateful for in that day. I will date it and only use photos taken on that day (with minor exceptions).

After 12/31/10, I will comprise all the daily photos and blogs into a book which I will then have printed for myself. I'm a little slow to respond to the Universe sometimes, and being that I just received the inspiration to do this on 1/10/10, I will post up images I have from the first of the year and be consistent daily from 1/10/10 forward.

In the process, it is my hope to honor the people, places, situations and blessings in my life. It is also my hope to discover beauty in the everyday stuff of life, to seek the miraculous in the mundane and to celebrate the extraordinary in the ordinary. I am humbled and excited to embark upon this journey. Mahalo for sharing it with me. . .may you find joy and gratitude each and every day of your life. God Bless.

"I Love Maui. . .the Demigod, that is!"


3.26.10. I am grateful for watching 'Maui the Demigod' at Kumu Kahua theatre! It brought back so many good memories of the original cast and this cast was AWESOME!!!! HUGE fan of Maui Mua, Maui, Loke and mahalo to Wil Kahele and the crew for your graciousness. Much success to you all-everybody on FB, go watch them and support local theatre!
After 19 years, Kumu Kahua did a revival of Maui the Demigod in their Merchant Street theatre. Kalani and I went to watch and it was really good! Its really revolved and the acting was great. I LOVED the Maui, Loke and grandfather (Maui Mua)-superb! And Maui and Loke were fine! Got to see Ron after all of these years, he's in the play. Its a nice, small, intimate theatre and I was so impressed by everything. The director, Wil Kahele, was so gracious to allow me to meet the cast and take pictures after the show. I really want to make an effort to support local theatre more. . .maybe one day I'll act again! Went to the T-Spot to watch Au Uso Moni afterwards and sang 'Why You' with the band. Good vibe and sound tonight. Ate at Zippy's after with Kalani. Worked on a holiday with the managers trying to get the RFP done. May have to work tomorrow. A hui hou!
