A memory is something we remember. Gratitude emerges when we remember what is good in our lives; what makes our hearts swell and our souls soar.
I’ve spoken of my nightly writing ritual before. Each night I compile a list of ‘cherished moments’ from the day, memories I am grateful for and hold dear to my heart. It could be as simple as a smile from a stranger or a hug from a loved one, a warm mug of tea on a winters evening, or silly dancing to a favourite song. If you have yet to explore writing a gratitude list, I urge you to begin this potent practice today.
As soon as our focus shifts to the sacred, the sweet and the simple, no longer can we comfortably remain in a position of lack and discontent. Suddenly we find our lives rich with the abundance of heartfelt memories that money and possessions simply cannot buy.
Today, take note of all that is good in your life. Tap into your heart’s memory. Feel the immense love and gratitude it holds.
Love Always,
Hayley xx
Dear Dad 
Beautiful. I love writing in my gratitude diary. I’ve had one for seven years now and can’t imagine not finishing my day by writing about what I’m grateful for. Feelings, things, people, thoughts … I’m grateful for it all. Thanks Hayley for another beautiful reminder my friend. xo 💖🙏

I was just thinking about that this morning. Listening to Abraham “she” talked about writing down the feelings that would be evoked from what we want rather than what we want. For instance, I want money…why? Because it will give me the Freedom to spend each day as I please, I will feel more at Ease, Carefree, Stressfree, Joyful, Happy, Fun, etc. so I thought hmmm think I’ll start writing them in my journal! Thanks for the reminder my sweet friend! xo

You are most welcome sweet soul 🙏🏻💗 and I love Abraham Hicks – thank you for the additional suggestions you’ve made here! “I want to live a creative life because it will allow me to express myself freely. I want to live in nature because I want to feel united and at one with Mother Earth” 🌏 xx
