What would you say if I told you that being grateful really can change your life?

It really can!

I know a lot of people read this site because they want to change their life. Astrology is amazing for that. And so is gratitude.

I think the first time I got a hint of this was from a quote from Oprah… she said:

The more you praise and celebrate your life, the more there is in life to celebrate.

That gave me food for thought.

I had heard a lot about gratitude being so important.

And then something happened.

My family and I started doing something we called (and still call) Friday Night apéro every Friday night. My husband is French and apéro is a fancy French name for drinks and nibbles. My husband also loves to cook so these apéro became more and more involved. We would have delicious spreads of nibbles, what my mother would call hors d’oeuvres I suppose.

And there was one thing. We did it at the end of the week and it felt completely natural to take a moment for all three of us – me, my son and husband – to all take a moment to pause and think about what we were grateful for that week.

I look back now and I can see that our lives took an upswing in every week at that time. I truly believe it was because we were quite naturally and without expectations, taking time to be happy with our lives.

The more you praise and celebrate your life, the more there is in life to celebrate.

Try it!

And as we move towards 2020, take a moment to think about what you can praise and celebrate from 2019.

It will be an amazing thing to do. Take a moment with family or friends, now, tonight or on New Year’s Eve or even New Year’s Day to think about what happened in 2019 which you’re grateful.

I have a lot to be grateful for, that’s for sure, including some tough lessons as well as amazing blessings which came my way in 2019.

Quarter Moon Gratitude

And then, as we move through 2020, try this; every Quarter Moon, do some Quarter Moon gratitude. The Quarter Moon comes half way from New Moon to Full Moon and vice versa. I always mention it on my site.

Or join me energetically for Friday Night apéro and gratitude.

Just make it a part of your life.

The more you praise and celebrate your life, the more there is in life to celebrate.


Gratitude will make 2020 better, that’s for sure! So will knowing what’s coming up. Find out about the promises and pressures ahead for you in 2020 in my FREE mini-report here.
