I wish you a VERY Happy Thanksgiving!<\/p>\n<p>Giving Thanks &#8230; what does this mean?<\/p>\n<p>Giving Thanks is the act of Gratitude, the act of Appreciation.  When you give thanks, you are focusing on the positive aspects of your life.  For whatever period of time you choose for the thanks-giving, you are concentrating on the blessings in your life.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>In earlier blog posts, we have previously covered in detail both the macro-level of creativity and the micro-level of creativity.  In brief, on a macro-level, the Law of Attraction dictates that you bring to yourself that upon which you focus your thought-energy.  In addition, on a micro-level, your subconscious mind functions to create what you are thinking.   <\/p>\n<p>So, from both macro- and the micro-directions, when you focus on the blessings in your life, you begin to attract more blessings to yourself.  In other words, when you focus on positive aspects in your life, you start to draw <strong>more<\/strong> positive to yourself!<\/p>\n<p>Isn&#8217;t it time to start?  I invite you to JOIN ME in this action of Thanks-giving!  And to start it off &#8212; I give thanks for <strong>YOU<\/strong> &#8230; for your eagerness to grow, for your desire to create more that is Positive in your life!
