September…for the first time in a long time I’m loving you. Bonus: People who practice gratitude are said to have stronger immune systems, lower blood pressure, higher levels of positive emotions, and fewer feelings of loneliness and isolation. So I’m even giving thanks for you September! You’re making me healthier.

…every Monday, we post seven positives from the previous seven days of the week as a reminder of what we have so that the week starts out on an upswing. There is much truth in the belief that happy people attract good things, so it is important to start the week out right. Sometimes it’s the more grand, but other times, it’s the simple things.~ Key + Arrow

7 for Seven originated at Key + Arrow and here are my short and sweet 7 positives for this week:

A short commute. The new school term just started and with it came traffic on the roads. I loathe traffic and it is brutal when the school starts. I am so grateful for the short time I take to get to work and back. No more than 10 minutes on a good day.

Getting back into Spin after some time away. Some health issues kept me away from one of my favourite cardio workouts for a little while. But now that everything is back to normal, I was able to get back on the bike…and it was positively ah-mazing.

The power of prayer. I can do all things through Him who gives me strength.

#30Layers30Days Self-Discovery Challenge. This journey is being led by the lovely GG Renee of All The Many Layers and I have been micro-blogging through this challenge on Instagram. This is some serious soul work.

Conversations that matter. Do you know how I can tell when a friend is the real deal…when we can talk about nothing and everything at the same time and it never feels like small talk. *Shout out to my Cohort Of Awesome*

God’s sense of humor. I have been praying about a particular situation for a while. Novena after novena…and still no answer…or rather His lack of an answer was the answer? Go Figure. Anyways, long story short, He answered my prayer but there was a catch. I realize now that I’m not ready for the answer. Plot Twist! Turns out, I still have some growing to do before I can have that particular prayer answered.

The sun on my skin. The A/C at work is apparently stuck on Arctic Blast, so my lunchtime walks outside, in the sun feels so freaking good.

Girls Night Out. I spent Saturday night with two of my favourite cousins and it was ALL CAPS AWESOME!!! I got dressed up, wore heels and partied until the wee hours of the morning. Two words: Tequila shots!

My hope is that by turning my focus to all that I have to be grateful for at the start of my work week, by sowing my own seeds of faith and gratitude, I can carry with me and reap the rewards of “positivity + balance + bliss” throughout the days ahead.

If you’re reading this, this is me blowing some glitter and confetti on you because you’re super blessed to have received the gift of another 86,400 seconds today, to spend any way you desire. What made you happy today? What are you grateful for? I would love to hear from you.

I love it when a new month starts on a Monday and I love it even more when it’s a holiday!!! Whoo hoo for long weekends.

Trinidad & Tobago celebrated 52 years of Independence yesterday and while we have a long way yet, to grow as a nation, there is no denying how far we have come. I am so proud to be a Trinidadian.

True Blood ended last night, I was disappointed but c’est la vie. But on happy note, Christmas Day is 4 months away. Let that sink in.

I read today that “Doubt does not mean don’t”. Tara Brach says, “Like investigation, healthy doubt arises from the urge to know what is true — it challenges assumptions or the status quo in service of healing and freedom.” Translated: Feel the fear and take a step forward anyway.

I love starting the week with this little nugget.

It’s a lovely Monday morning in these parts…and I’m so grateful for the sunrise I was up to see today.
