My Gratitude List

 

Every night, I love to sit down and reflect on my blessings.  I have many.  In fact, I think I’m a pretty lucky gal.  

But I didn’t get that “luck” by myself – I have a lot of people that help my world run smoothly.  These are the peeps I am (currently) most grateful for:

Suzi Dronzek: my soul sister, my OM-mie, my most trusted astrologer and all around great gal.  I wish we were neighbors. I’d be bugging you to look at the stars for me every  night while I prepared the cocktails.

Erika Lyremark: your take no prisoners approach and ability to call me on my own self-sabotage makes you a coach who really gets things done.  You’re priceless. And badass.  Can I get a hell yeah?

Paul Lebars: the finest Reiki healer I have ever met – and one of the most honorable and truly kind people walking the planet.  I loved your vibe the first time I connected with it.

Amanda Krill: your web site skillz are mad genius.  And you are pretty awesome to boot.

Donnaleigh De La Rose: your free tarot education show makes the tarot world a better place.  And your behind the scenes kindness makes you a treasure.

Alexandra Franzen: I cannot count the ways you make my life awesome.  But I will say this: anyone who does not hire you for their webcopy is a damn fool.  You are a word goddess.  (I wish I could get inside that super smart brain for just one day!)

The Amberstones and Thalassa: your tarot conferences have made my world less lonely.  Thank you for all the sacrifices you make to create these events.

Dyana Valentine: I woke up with you and you woke me up.  And now I dream again.  Thank you.  Everyone should wake up with you at least once in their lives. 

Share Ross: you are getting me out of my comfort zone.  Not sure whether I should thank you or run scared.  (Thank you!)

Megan Potter: my fearless comrade – we travel in the same circles and you have made me learn to accept my face at face value.  You are amazing!

Bri Saussy: finally, a candle person and root worker I can respect.  You know your stuff and you’re honest – that is the surest combination for real magick.

Barbara Moore: you just had to create a tarot deck I love (The Steampunk Tarot), didn’t you?  Oh and your books – a hell yeah to the latest batch!  You put the trill into thrill. 

US Games: ah, the best made decks on the planet.  No one tops your quality, your variety, your quantity.  I have a not-so-secret love affair with your company. You have so rarely disappointed.  Thank you.

Marie Forleo:  B School was one of the best investments ever.  Keep doing what you are doing.  You’re raising the bar and helping more female entrepreneurs succeed.  

Bad Ass Biz chicks: these two are the ones to watch.  From their Pinterruption course to other goodies, they’ve got their fingers on the pulse.  I dig ‘em.

Jessica Kaminski: I am terrified of getting my picture taken.  But you made me feel at ease and took some damn fine photos.  Huzzah!

Catherine Chapman: you write beautifully, you are original, you make me think and make me laugh.  I’ll be seeing you soon, my friend.  

Hilary Parry: you have amazed me with your growth.  So happy to have you as my apprentice – and can’t wait to witness as you set the tarot world on fire.  You are the future of tarot.

Astrogrrl and Taurusrising: just because you’re awesome and great fun.  

Ronna Dietrick: truth telling is important to me.  And no one does it as well or brilliantly as you.  

Tara Gentile: your emails are the ones I never skip.  I read every one. Why? Because you’re smart as a fox.  Your emails are also the only ones I consistently save.  Best info on small biz, bar none.  

Johnny B. Truant: I need to include a few more dudes on this list or it may look like an estrogen love fest.  But seriously, you rock.  I learned a lot from you.  

Robin Richardson: truth.  Nuff said.

Beth Owl’s Daughter: I admire you for your spirit and ability to stand up and speak out.  I can count on you.  Thank you.

Diane Bloom: you’re a crystal packing mama and a damn fine healer.  In fact, you’re a “rock” star!

TABI: I’ve always wanted to go to England.  Thank you for making that happen – I am looking forward to pubs, tarot and kidney pies!  (And the killer conference, of course!)

Georgianna Boehnke: my fellow black cat lover and dynamite tarot reader.  I’m blown away by the breadth and depth of your readings.  Why are you not utterly famous?

Angela Minnelli: you’re the healthy person I want to be when I grow up.  Thanks for all the sugar busting brilliance. One day my weakness will be resolved.  I have you to credit, my dear.

Nathalie Lussier:  you are a tech goddess.  I’m way more clear now and this is because of that consult.  Thank you.

Denise Duffield Thomas: I’ve always been good at manifesting but you helped me to ace the manifesting game big time!  Everyone needs a copy of Lucky Bitch. 

Yolanda Facio:  I’m not good at saying no.  You are.  You’ve helped me to start saying no in a bigger way.  If I could give out an award for my biggest lifesaver, you’d get it.

My tarot clients: thank you for allowing me to read for you.  It’s been an honor. Truly.

My yoga students:  you’ve kept the studio running for 8 years.  Wow.  Thanks for showing up!

My family: without my kids and my husband, I am nothing.  You are the people that keep me going.  Thank you, thank you, thank you.  You are the ones who make me really feel lucky indeed.

Blessings,

Theresa
