An invitation to receive

Today I accepted an invitation to receive.  This is my journey in the next 32 days, to accept the gifts the universe is offering me, and to listen closely to what is being offered.  By doing this, I hope to manifest change, and grow more positive in my daily life.

Day Number One

First gift:
Receiving the invitation to be part of the Receiving Project.  Just what I needed to start my day, and a way to stay positive in my life. And I need to start loving the Universe again, since lately, I've been pretty angry with it.
Second gift: 
Retail Therapy. Enough said.
Third and most important gift:
The realization that what I love about being a teacher, is the connection I make with my students.  It is them that brings me joy, not the act of teaching, but the act of receiving from them whatever it is they need to give me.  I miss my students. I look forward to going back in January where I feel refreshed, and newly empowered with the knowledge I gained today.

I'm excited to see what the next 32 days will bring.  Thank you to my friend Maren, who inspired and encouraged me to do this.
