Compendium Gratitude

I mentioned before that I'm involved in Compendium's A Thankful Life campaign! I love it. It's uplifted & inspiRed me so much...just what my mantra is with Rhonna Designs! *wink* 

THe idea is to be a part of this 'Thankful Life'....every week. But, without even planning....it's become something I'm doing Every. Day!  

It started out with my Year Of Gratitude boxed gift card set...I have been filling out the fab gratitude book that comes with it along w/ sending out Thank You cards each week. 

Not only has it lifted my spirits, but it's uplifted & inspired me on so many levels in my life. 

I LOOK for things to be thankful for. 

I make notes of what those around me have done for me in my life.

Helped me see the MANY things I am grateful for.

Share notes w/ people I haven't normally thanked...though I should! *wink*

&.....

the unexpected feeling of: " I can't just pick ONE a week!" so....I've taken this challenge to every single day.

One thing that's been SOOO fun is the cute Lunch Mail cards they have.

 I stick them in my kids' lunches, pockets, or purses so they get a little boost each day. I tell them how AWESOME I think they are & how grateful I am for them.  This has overflowed into texts, notes, emails, phone calls to people to express how grateful I am for them....

truly...a grateful heart is a happy heart.

So, anyone want to join in the campaign to write 1 million thank you notes this year? It's easy! It's just all about gratitude...& SHOWING it!

A Year Of Gratitude

1 Year. 12 Months. 52 Weeks. 365 Days.  What will YOU do with your today? With the clean slate that we've been given at this time of year, I LOVE thinking of new ways to be better.  I am so excited about this new kit from Compendium books!  It's called: A Year of Gratitude.

It's an amazing little kit. You open it up to see this! 52 blank Thank You cards with cute gold envies & a little Journal that has blank sheets, but also takes you through prompts that really bring out the gratitude.

I love this quote on the inside of the box: 

"Each act of gratitude starts a ripple of kindness that begins with you & reaches further than you can imagine.  Every letter you write adds joy to the world, so take out your pen & begin."

I LOVE the colors, love the fonts & designs & LOVE this entire concept. It goes perfectly with my One Little Word & One Little Goal concept for 20.thirteen.

I love these steps outlined in the journal:

1. Start noticing and listing the things you are grateful for.

2. Include things you normally take for granted.

3. Keep track of the thank-you notes you send each week.

4. Write down the ways that your life changes.

With each of these steps, it takes you a bit further & really makes you think about it.

Then, the journal has different sections about: 

1.What makes a good thank-you note.

-which I LOVE! 

2. People I'm grateful for this year.

3. Some thoughts on living everyday as a thank-you.

4. sections with different 'gratitude' quotes that are so lovely!

I'm looking forward to taking the steps to be STRONG...in everything I do.  

And, even though I feel like I am grateful...this focus throughout the year will make me stronger. It will help me be strong in my focus, time, & sharing as I write personal little thank-yous!

Gone are the days of personal correspondance & I think this is just so heartfelt.

So...you'll be hearing about my experience here each week! 

I'm off to begin!
