Gratitude Journal Day #15 – Warmth in others
Posted on 13. Dec, 2011 by AmyLinert in General | No Comments
A bit harder today to pin point moments of gratitude without going the standard route of “a roof over my head, good in my belly and a dog that loves me.” So I looked at other people and found things to be grateful for within the world.
• A significant donation to a local women’s shelter during a fundraising luncheon today organized by a friend.
• Getting the “all clear” text message from a friend of mine who was worried her life plans would be put on hold for her and her husband.
• Having enough will power to get back into the gym and finish a strong 3 miles

Slacking! Slacking! Such a slacker at times, but don’t discredit my efforts. I have been making mental notes and in my purple book notes of things to be grateful for each day. With so many recent changes, getting to my personal time has been a bit harder. But today and yesterday was all about me, and it felt AWESOME!

Okay, now I understand why everyone was posting their journals to their Facebook profiles – ease. You can post straight from your mobile device so missing a day is not an issue. Noted.
Overall, I am so grateful for this past weekend. It was the perfect storm of activity, fun, letting loose, and unexpected-expectede-ness. My gratitude goes to:

Being the end of the week (pretend I posted this last night) is something to be grateful for, I’m not going to cop out and use that for my post. Instead, I’m forcing myself to look at the other side of things today.
My gratitude for today:

Day #5: Gratitude Journal – Understanding
Posted on 01. Dec, 2011 by AmyLinert in General | No Comments
Three things to show gratitude for today:
• Taking the time to sit and listen to a colleague, hear their frustrations, questions, and goals and together identify opportunities, challenges and to just talk.
• Free drink at Starbucks
• Being comfortable enough with a friend to let the tears speak the words I can’t seem to say, and know they understand.
Day #4: Gratitude Journal – Keep Calm & Sparkle

I am probably one of the most open females about the excitement of the Victoria Fashion Show. To me, it’s almost like the excitement of the Super Bowl, but on a more lacey, and less massive level. It doesn’t bother me that the models are inches taller and thinner than I am. What gets me interested is the story concepts, the music and the candid interviews with the Angels about their passion and hobbies outside of modeling – Adrenaline junkies, boxers, intelligent nerds, and so much more. It also thrills me to see the costume’s. I’m pretty sure my lingerie bill will be increasing over the next few weeks.

My gratitude for today:
• Christmas lights on the Christmas Tree – it lights up the house in the most perfect, warm glow.
• Turning my work email back on from last Wednesday and having no emails that required attention. For the first time in nearly 3 years, I actually had no interruptions for 4 of my 7 PTO days.

Day #1: Gratitude Journal – Friends and Holidays

On Facebook, many friends have been posting their gratitude journals for a 30-day period. I enjoyed reading their posts, and it made me reflect on my own life and days that I thought ‘tis the season, is a good reminder to remind myself of all the things I am thankful, enjoy and cherish. A second reason is for to take time out each day for a breather and reminder to push past the daily challenges, and reflect on the good parts. So here goes.

Wannabe Cover Girl

I’m always the one behind the camera. On set at a local TV station or on a live shot for one of my clients, I stand BEHIND the camera guy to make sure I don’t accidentally show up on camera. However, lately I’ve been thinking from a professional stand point, I should have a few headshots. And secretly, I’ve always wanted to model, of with only the best professional hair and makeup, and clothing stylists.
But this past July, I took the leap. A friend of mine (Dean Shirley) does photography on the side and after talking with him a few times, he offered to do a few headshots. I have to say, I wasn’t expecting the outcome, at all. But I like it. And after thinking about it, and experiencing it, it was an amazing self esteem boost for me. It was fun to dress up and show a non jeans style of me.
