Day one of the gratitude challenge! First I would like to thank my friend Mark Rutherford for encouraging me to take this challenge expressing gratitude shifts your perception and shows your vulnerable spirit to the world which would otherwise be protected by masks of your persona. Sometimes it can be difficult to find gratitude in life so this has been a great practice of mine as of lately some days it is easy some days its hard but the practice itself is a wonderful tool to help keep me stay grounded, positive, and humble. With that things that make me happy or grateful: hmm 1.) My life and sometimes I find it very challenging to feel this and I want to give up but really life is a wonderful spiritual journey. It is what you make of it and so I strive daily to make my life meaningful in different ways but hope to make it more meaningful and impactful as I grow with maturity each day. So with gratitude to my life I would have to thank specifically my parents who brought me into this world and their parents judy burdette and Wayne cooper and Richard Burdette and Dixie cooper fur being my caregivers and so on. My heritage my birthright my life path my destiny. What will my verse be? is the larger question here; how am i impacting the world? How can I make my life more meaningful? What can i do to make the world a better place after I leave this realm? what did I do with my life and what will people say about me should be my motivation when I wake up. now thats a huge responsibility and can be very overwhelming. Yikes! Time to make things happen now! 2.) My daughter Jade Novotchin being a mother a giver of life had been the biggest learning and most humbling experience in my life! She has been my teacher, strength, and reason to live, excel, and become a better person every day. Thank you for your unconditional love and support baby girl! My life would mean very little without you in my life. I am so honored to be your mother and am so very proud of the woman you have become! Love and family is the biggest reward in life never forget that! 3.) The rest of my family my sister Simone Kross my other sister Leslie Rieth my nieces Sasha Laurel and Sloane Gershov my brother Keith Burdette and his children Cody Burdette and Haley Burdette we are a family tribe we have am opportunity to love one another no matter what through this life. This is the ultimate expression of love, learning, and growth in life. We are connected through blood and that is important. Im grateful for all of you and so happy you are a part of my life! You have taught me to love unconditionally and selflessly, accept myself and others, and how to be a better person through showing up for others. I Am not as present in your lives as I would like to be and have struggled with my own ability to be connected to others for fear of disapproval or disappointing you through my defects of character but I strive to show you more daily how much you all mean to me. Thank you for being there unconditionally and loving me you make my life more meaningful! I love you all! 3. ) finally my extended family (friends) tribe thank you for your love, friendship, laughter, lessons, youre all teachers and Im grateful for all of it even if I dont act like it. I am a mistake making human being having a human experience and it has been challenging but also very meaningful. I dont know where to begin with this list. Some people stay, some come in very briefly, and some come in and out of my life but we are all connected here to teach each other different life lessons. I am humbled by the opportunity to love and be present in all of your lives. We all have soul mates in this life time so thank you for being the ultimate teachers in my life. I dont think I ever express my feelings this openly so here goes the ultimate test of love vulnerability. If you want to know how youve impacted my life in a meaningful way pm message me and Ill tell you. There are so many and it is overwhelming so if I forget anyone Im sorry Alexander N.
