Today I am grateful for getting my books into two new book stores, which makes a total of three stores so far on this trip. Gratitude Dance! One book store in Toronto, ON called Another Story Bookshop https://www.facebook.com/anotherstorybookshop/
and one in Ottawa, ON called Singing Pebble http://www.singingpebblebooks.ca/
for the feeling of my dream coming true, of being an author, as one of the shelters I dropped a book off at, on our way east, wanted me to come and speak and so on Wednesday this week, two days ago, one of my dreams came true of getting to share my story to women whose lives have been touched by domestic abuse. I am thrilled to be accomplishing what I was put on this planet to do, that is to write and share stories.
To share what I have learned from the thousands of hours I have read books on the topic of self-help, positive psychology, salesmanship, spirituality and confidence building, then put into practice the ideas the books shared with me to see which ones were really helpful for me.
It seems other people are finding my words inspiring too because yesterday right after my talk I received a call from another shelter that wants me to speak. So hopefully I will hear from them today about when I get to share my story of hope and happiness.
May you have the courage to follow your dreams. Thank you for inspiring me by stopping by my page. I Love YOU. ❤
So grateful to have my books selling at Another Story Bookshop https://anotherstory.ca/ in Toronto, ON.

Today’s Affirmation is from my new book. Healing My Heart After Domestic Abuse
Affirmation Fifteen
I meditate to connect to the energy source that started my heart beating when I was in the womb. In my mind’s eye there is a clear image of the tiny cells of my body filling with the violet light of compassion and patience.
It is my pleasure to get to expand my conscious mind with the time tested method of quietly sitting alone, breathing deeply focusing on the inner light of love that is my core. My intuition is ignited by the Universe’s violet light, causing in my heart a tingly feeling of safety.
I can increase the amount of love in my life by being loving to me. I approve of me. I enjoy me. I think about the parts of me that I am proud of. I feel the emotions of worthiness wash over me like a spring wind, triggering me to feel bold. It is within my realm of influence, to remind myself of my infinite value over and over again until I feel as confidant as a Guru.
I am a courageous child of the Universe and the Universe exists to fill me with love.
Thank you for being here with me today. Thank you for inspiring me with your presence. I Love YOU! ❤ :~)
This is an image that is close to what my new book cover will be like. :~)

Today’s Affirmation; I, _________, (insert your name here to trust yourself) have a chance today to build up trust with myself. When I make myself a promise to practice the piano or get up in the morning to exercise, then I actually do practice the piano and do my exercises, I increase the trust I have in me. When my gut tells me that this person or situation is not right for me and I listen, I am constructing trust in me. When my gut tells me this person or situation is right for me and I listen, I build trust in me. Each time I listen to my emotions, giving my emotions all the time they need to communicate their important information, I am building my trust in me. Each time I embrace my life as perfect just the way it is, I create in my heart a feeling of safety and trust myself a bit more. Thank you for stopping by for your daily encouragement. Thank you for building trust with you today. I Love YOU. ❤ :~)
Knowing that I can trust me is the best feeling in the world. :~)

Sonia Furstenau and everyone who contributed energy to caring for Shawingan Lake) for the gathering today at 5:00 of the humans that dedicated their hearts, time and minds to speak for the trees, frogs, water bugs, fish and thirsty people of Shawnigan Lake, we shared hugs, a feeling of hope for the future and an amazing sense of community and for Robert and I, taking time to go to the celebration today to connect with everyone we love who stood up for clean water, share hugs and witness the amazing feeling of community drawn together by adversity.

Embracing the faith that encourages me to believe in my dreams, enables me to bravely release my personal blocks to success. The more I visualize my dreams in vivid colour, experiencing what my life would feel like when I achieve my goals, what my life would smell like, when I achieve my goals, the more details about how my ideal life would be, the better, because when I visualize my future life, my Reticular Activating System is on the look out to help me create the dreams and goals that I hold closest to my heart and in my mind. My energy stays lively when I witness my Reticular Activating System enabling me to effect the changes in my mind and heart necessary for me to be disciplined.

It is so cool that there is a part of our brain that helps us focus on what we are wanting to focus on.
Today I am grateful for running a bit low on cash, so that I am able to stay in a state of gratitude even at those times when I would like the mail box to have a check or two waiting for me and the only mail that is in the box, are flyers for store sales, I still do a gratitude dance to let the Universe know, that I still feel abundant in my heart, for being a generator of my emotional state, trusting that when I emit a vibration of grateful abundance the Universe responds with the like energy of grateful abundance and for having a job where I get work from home, so that I am able to meet my needs, like today I took a nap as my night sleep is thrown off track which means it is important for me to adapt so that I am able to be my joyful self. Thank you for the moments you were here with me today. Thank you for listening to your body today. I Love YOU. ❤ :~)
