Gratitude Journal 073116

I like to think that I am fairly good at practicing gratitude ..... but after reading, (and sharing) Patricia LeBlanc's post How to Live a Healthy and Abundant Life the other day, I have been making sure to make note of at least 10 things that I am grateful for.

Today marks the first day that I actually document this by writing them down.  Although it is the last day of the month, the best time to start anything is NOW - and I did not want to wait even one more day to get started.

Here are just some of the things that I am grateful for today:

Summer Blog Challenge Blog Post Shares for Week 2

This is the 2nd week of Debbie Whitlock's Summer Business Blog Challenge and I was the first to post this week (one of the last the previous week).  I hadn't read or shared any of the other participants' blog posts before today and now I'm ready to have some fun!  So many good posts to share!

The first post I'm sharing is called "How to Live a Healthy and Abundant Life" by Dream Maker  and Author Patricia LeBlanc of Patricia LeBlanc International in Toronto, Ontario.  I won't spoil all the great tips that Patricia has for living more abundant, but one of my favorites is using a Gratitude Journal each morning.

Note: Please watch for one of my blogs to be the platform I use for my daily gratitude journal.  All I need to do is list 10 things I am grateful for.  Can you do this too?  It is daily, but it is important - and quick to do.  So very beneficial.  Pick up this healthy habit with me and share where YOU are posting it.

On social media, you can 'Like' Patricia LeBlanc International on Facebook, Follow @PatriciaLeBlanc on Twitter, subscribe to Patricia LeBlanc's YouTube channel or follow @LeBlancPatricia on Instagram.

The second post that I read and will share here is titled "An Overview about Google's Micro

moments" by June Bachman, co-owner of bWyse Internet Marketing in Redmond, Washington.  I love her explanation of consumers' four micro-moment needs and then ideas on how to use this information in your marketing.  Brilliant.   Personally, I know that I'm not always looking at my various sites and business systems through my customers' (or my potential customers' eyes).  But I also know that after reading this article, I've already started thinking about adjustments to be made.

bWyse Internet Marketing can be found on Facebook and bWyse on Google+, June Bachman tweets @GotbWysed, June's business partner Wendy Ogryzek can be found on YouTube.

Thanks for visiting my blog and reading this post.  Please make sure to read these articles and leave a positive comment if anything within resonates with you.  It definitely doesn't hurt to share these words of wisdom with people you care about either ...

Summer Business Blog Challenge: First Shares

Even though this has been a strange, crazy and super unexpected week - I'm having a lot of fun with Debbie Whitlock's Summer Business Blog Challenge.  I haven't quite accomplished nearly as much as I was hoping for and working toward, but sometimes life happens and gets in the way of your plans.

As much as I've enjoyed writing posts on my new blog at Daddy Blogger World - and newly setting up some of my dormant blogs including A New Day Real Estate, the most fun I'm having so far is sharing the content of some of the other challenge participants.

Debbie Whitlock's Summer Blog Challenge: My Way to Break Out as A Daddy Blogger?

My friend Debbie Whitlock is an amazing person who has built up a huge following over the years.  She specializes in helping women with their finances, but has expanded into business coaching for women.  Since I am not a woman, I was especially thankful that she accepted me into her Summer Blog Challenge!

Here are the rules and expectations:
