[jgw]

for the oopsie bread/bun recipe here goes.

Cleochatra's Best Ever RevolOopsie Rolls


3 large eggs
1 pkg [COLOR=#016798]Splenda[/COLOR]
dash of salt
pinch of cream of tartar
3 ounces cream cheese (not Tbsp!) Do not soften!

Preheat oven to 300 degrees.

Separate the eggs and add Splenda, salt, and cream cheese to the yolks. Use a mixer to combine the ingredients together. In a separate bowl, whip egg whites and cream of tartar until stiff (if you're using the same mixer, mix the whites first and then the yolk mixture). Using a spatula, gradually fold the egg yolk mixture into the white mixture, being careful not to break down the whites. Spray a cookie sheet with non-stick spray and spoon the mixture onto the sheet, making 6 mounds. Flatten each mound slightly.

Bake about 30 minutes (You want them slightly softer, not crumbly). Let cool on the sheet for a few minutes, and then remove to a rack and allow them to cool. Store them in a bread sack or a ziplock bag to keep them from drying out.

Makes 6@ about 85 calories a piece, >1 carb per

GATHERING MASTERS

Greetings Gratitude Masters,

Today, consider twelve people who have profoundly
influenced and inspired you ... be these friends, family,
authors, explorers, artists or leaders ... remember, these may
be any number of INFINITE possibilities.

Call to them with your heart, giving thanks for their presence
in your life, sending a wave of energetic appreciation their way.

[COLOR=blue]I am restarting my gratitude journey this week.[/COLOR]
Got to love it!!!!!

[jgw]

Imagine ...

As (k)newly born beings,

we begin by first receiving,

accepting a naturally abundant source of support

~ the Breath of Life ~

only to immediately return this gift ...
and then begin again.

Give and Receive
Accept and Release
In and Out
Beginning to End

Our breath is a constant companion,
guide, and connection to Life.

So it is, too, with Gratitude!

[jgw]

Let's always give thanks for the CUP.

As for the ebb and flow - the rise and fall -
The come and go that affects us all, consider this:
Without spilling, drinking, tipping or sipping,
there is no room for NOW to fill you UP. C?
***
[COLOR=#336600]Go Gratitude![/COLOR]
***
Remember ~ the cup is YOU

~ Gratitude is the give and receive,
the drink and the pour, a space for Love to be less IS more.
Ahhhhh ... refreshing, indeed!
***
Inside or outside yourself, you never have to change what you
see, only the way you see it.
~ Thaddeus Golas

Daily Self-Love, Self-Respect and Self-Gratitude will re-arrange
watery worlds within ... opening space for peace to BE,
intentions to manifest and abundance to freely flow.

Consider using this simple method of blessing bodily waters,
as suggested by Dr. Emoto:

Water, I Love You.
Water, I Thank You.
Water, I Respect You.
Now, consider replacing "water" with your name to enhance
the exchange of Love, Respect and Gratitude.

Remember ... as you clear waters within, prepare for a rush
of old junk, gunk and out-of-resonance materials to be released.

The best method for gracefully moving through past time to
clearly appreciate the (k)new?
Love, Respect, and Gratitude!
Always and all ways!

[jgw]

HUGGING YOU IN GRATITUDE




Open your arms ever so wide.
Then lovingly wrap them round your front side
and HUG, HUG, HUG yourself.


Gently sway from left to right,
caressing the body with adoring pride,
squeezing, pleasing, and joyfully teasing
this earth suit holding YOU.

SEE(K) GRATITUDE



*Eye of God* ~ courtesy NASA



In order to gain a peaceful perspective
of current happynings and present possibilities,
Gracefully guide the Self to a State of Gratitude
by focusing attention on what IS ~
giving thanks for the large and small, the gift of it all
using this powerfully-simple-ever-so-present tool
for creating NOW as it feels good to YOU.

Remember - See(k) the world through Gratitude
and (k)new views will open for you.

Just for today ...
Look around ~ what (k)new views may be gained
by using Gratitude to transform:

challenge to gift,
chore to chance,
detour and delay to a Divinely timed dance.

Go Gratitude!

Make a right-handed fist ... now cup this curled grip with
your left fist and voila!

Gratitude in the palm of your hands.

Both give and receive, our hands serve to support, create,
soothe and administrate Life. Energetically - our left is
Receive and our right, Give. Now that you've got Gratitude
in your grasp, let's expand this Gratitude and connect
with others' hands ...

Open your left hand, palm facing up.

Open your right hand, palm facing down.

Imagine Love and Light flowing through you, in through
the left -out through the right. Lifting your hands to heart
level, feel a shift as you imagine others on each side of you,
hands connected in a growing circle of Gratitude. Allow
this energetic river to pulse, play and wind it's way,
encircling the Earth as we all say,

"Thank you for being YOU. In Love and Gratitude, Me."

(H)EART OF YOU



*image courtesy of Daniel B. Holman*



Gratitude is a gift of Love,
flowing from our sacred heart space ~
a timely reflection of our heavenly presence on earth.

So let's consider a (k)new view,
that perhaps the heart of the earth is YOU.

here we GO ...
simply move the first to last, like this:


(H)EART to EART(H)

worlds within worlds,
micro to macro ~ AlphaOmega ~begin as end
- we are connected as ONE.
***
Go Gratitude!
***
just imagine ...
it's simply a matter of changing views,
as Gratitude reveals (k)new worlds within YOU.
***
A gratitude-heart
Is to discover on earth
A Heaven-delivered rose.

EYE AM GRATITUDE




*image ~ Stacey Robyn. "Eye Love you, Alex" 2005



Upon arrival in physical time we daily change,
re-arranging shape, form, and feature ...
our bodies growing by divine design
to support our wishes, dreams, and adventures
supreme.

Now consider this - from birth on,
all dimensions change in our physical
frames ~ all except One ...

The EYE.

From first blink to final wink
this window of time remains one size
offering a steady view of timely Life.

Why?

In order to re-member this:

It's what you choose to see that
changes, rather than just the view.

Go Gratitude!

SOLE GRATITUDE


*artwork by Douglas Blair - "Barefoot in the rain"*

Our bodies are animated earth, embracing Love's light.
Our feet ~ the seat of under-standing
and platforms for graceful landing ~
give us the ability to quickly shift, to raise our view,
to travel, dance, and explore the (k)new.

Just for today ...

Consider directly connecting feet to earth,
grounding yourself in Gratitude. As you do,
imagine a vortex of light flowing through your
soles to the center of the Earth.

Now witness this flow returning to you,
sole-fully connecting all who stand as Gratitude.
***
Go Gratitude!
***
Remember, our feet represent our under-standing,
our ability to perceive the wisdom of the journey
~ this, too, is the gift of Gratitude.

Now, openly ask yourself:

What great feats have your feet greeted, too?

What (k)new wisdom will your soul/soles lead
you to?

What truths are hidden just under the surface,
supporting waking dreams, delivering you
to your purpose?

[Dedicated]

Didn't know you had a journal! I'll be visiting you!!!

[jgw]

THANK YOU FOR BEING YOU




Just for today:

Thank you for being YOU.

Fully, completely, ever-so-sweetly let this
flow of Love and Gratitude permeate every
nano-aspect of the Divine being called You.

In every way possible, spend today giving thanks
to you ... Remember, as you do, you are setting a
pattern for others to follow, too.
***
Go Gratitude!
***
To expand and magnify this exercise:

Imagine yourself as a newborn, an infant,
a child, teen, young adult~ and so on ~ until
you connect all with Now. At each stage, give
thanks for your unique-ness, talents, and
timely experiences. Allow all aspects of you to come
together, as One in Love and Gratitude.

[Dedicated]

Morning Jan!

That's my praise to God today...thank you for being you!

Enjoy your day!

SYNTROPIC GRATITUDE


[COLOR=#003366]*source ~ www.the-arcturians.com*[/COLOR]
Greetings Beloved One-ness,
Today marks our evolution beyond personal to communal
Gratitude. Congratulations! and Thank you for your
presence on this amazing journey!

For the past 12 days our primary focus has been on Self,
creating a greater connection to what IS, allowing
our Love to BE and granting Gratitude the power
to lead in a universal, yet personal way.

As we develop a strong sense of Self Gratitude, this Source
Force energy will, by nature of Syntropy, call order to chaos,
re-creating our present-day civilizations into a harmonious
gathering of Love as Light.

What is Syntropy? This word, coined by Luigi Fantappié in
1942, is defined as such: "A tendency towards order and
symmetrical combinations, designs of ever more
advantageous and orderly patterns. Evolutionary
cooperation."

This exactly what we are witnessing Now - our collective
consciousness waking to our innate co-creative abilities - in
a magnificent mandalic precession of manifested miracles.
Wow!

From an energetic standpoint, just imagine what our
growing field of Gratitude looks like, as each one of us
stands as a point of Light, a being of Love, as waking
Gratitude?
