Welcome to our final two days of Bloom True Boot Camp…woohoo, YAY, we did it!

I want to thank you so much for joining me on this month-long creative journey.  What started out as tiny flash of inspiration during a swim in a lake turned into such a beautiful and inspiring creative global adventure.

Your posts, pictures and reflections have brought me so much joy and reminded me (once again) how powerful it is to join together with like-hearted people dedicated to their creative paths and waking spirits.  {{THANK YOU}}.

In the spirit of gratitude and celebration, may I present our two final Boot Camp Prompts and the announcement of our Bloom True E-Course winners!

Please note:  The entire Bloom True Boot Camp experience is now available for LIFE in a gorgeous 38-page downloadable PDF!  Click HERE for more info.

September 29th : Give Thanks

There is a great quote by David Steindl-Rast that offers a beautiful perspective on the subject of gratitude and joy.  He wisely states…

It is not joy that makes us grateful; it is gratitude that makes us joyful.

I believe making this simple yet profound distinction offers some serious insight into the power of gratitude.  Understanding that gratitude is a choice and an action gives us the power to create our own joy.

The action of choosing to practice gratitude focuses our attention on what is already working in our lives.  By doing so, we shift our conscious thought away from what we lack, while inviting in a feeling of contentment.  In this way, gratitude is simply about acknowledging what we already have.

Often the most challenging part of practicing gratitude is the practice itself.  Like most things worth doing, we have to dedicate time and energy to really receive the benefits of the practice.  Here are a few ways to get your gratitude ball rollin’:

• Keep a “gratitude journal.”
• Speak out loud what you are grateful for each day.
• Make a list of 100 things you are grateful for and hang it up.
• Take a moment to pause and be grateful for your food before you eat.
• Shower the people you love with love.
• Share your gratitude in the form of letters, emails, calls, presents, texts, random acts of kindness…
• Offer yourself loving gratitude through self-care.
• Cultivate a bit of gratitude every time you have the opportunity to paint or create.

How else can you show your gratitude today?

September 30th : Celebrate!

The final prompt is to simply to celebrate all you have accomplished over the past month.

Whether you have completed all the prompts or dabbled with just a few, take a moment now to honor yourself for showing up and being committed to your creative self.

Place the palms of your hands face down on your belly and heart.  Take five deep breathes.  Cultivate as much love, compassion, acceptance and celebration that you can muster and send all those loving vibrations INWARD.  Let the cells of your body soak up all your own good medicine.  Remember…

You were born to shine, thrive, bloom and create.  You got this.

Bloom True E-Course :: The Journey Begins October 13th

My deepest wish is that anyone wishing to explore their brave intuitive selves, both on canvas and off, will someday have the chance to participate in the Bloom True E-Course.  I have poured my heart and soul into this five-week adventure and it’s always so amazing to see the transformations that take place throughout the course.

If your soul is tugging at you to join, please listen in.  I would absolutely love to paint with you.
