This summer I did something I haven’t done in years. I was visiting family and there was a large puzzle on the kitchen table in the process of being completed. Working on a puzzle looks so boring, and I hardly consider it as an activity worth spending time on. But I was on vacation, and I really wanted to spend time with family members, so I started working on the puzzle with them. I have to say, it is way more fun to work on a puzzle than it is to watch someone else work on a puzzle.
I suppose that is a good analogy for life as well: it’s so much fun to be a thriving part of an expanding and fulfilling life than it is to watch someone else thriving and expanding. Luckily, we all get to choose how our life expands through the Law of Attraction, and if there is something we want, we need only give our full attention to it and allow it into our experience. There is another great parallel to life and a puzzle: if you do the whole puzzle in anticipation of how you will feel when you put the last piece in place, you will have a lot of hard work for a small payoff at the end. And most likely, like life, you probably won’t feel a huge thrill when the last piece is in place…it will feel like the next logical step, and you will probably be ready for another puzzle. The trick is enjoying the process of putting it together, and having lots of little thrills along the way to enjoy, knowing that the end is not the goal.
If you live your life like a beautiful puzzle, there will be some immediate advantages to you. Here are some that come to me this morning:
- You know you are making something beautiful.
- You have many triumphs along the way.
- Small roadblocks release into times of great progress, as you find a section of pieces that fit together.
- You know that there is order to it all, and you can relax into full awareness that all is well, and that everything you need is provided.
- You have a job: to find the next piece. Your job is not to finish it all with the next piece, nor could you if you tried to.
- With every piece added, the whole scene gets more and more beautiful.
- Problems (pieces not found) on one day get a new perspective on another day, and you “see” things you missed the previous day.
- Others can help you see things you were missing as well.
- You don’t try to force pieces that look close but don’t fit, but rather you relax and know that the right piece is out there to complete your perfect image.
- On some level you realize that it’s really just a game. It’s probably not your first or last puzzle, so there is no rush to complete it so that you can be deserving. You are exactly in the right place at the right time, right now…doing today’s puzzle.
I hope this makes sense to your broader knowing. Your life is like a beautiful, huge and amazing puzzle. Enjoy the progress you are making right now. Be Well, Marie-GP

The last flight I took there was the normal safely lecture before the jet took off. I pretended to listen (like everyone else) and stared into space. Then, when they got to the part about the oxygen mask coming down from the ceiling it made me think of an important fact of life. This is that you must secure your own mask before helping others. What this means is that you can’t help one other person find their center and connection to Source Energy if you can’t find your own. It is honorable and right to want to be of service and value to others, but you can’t lead another to wellbeing from your sense of not-wellbeing.
The best thing you can do every day is wake, be grateful, and find your sense of bliss and wellbeing before you do anything else. If you see people throughout the day and they sense your good feeling vibration, they are going to want to join you and feel good too. Law of Attraction will line you up with others who feel good too, and you will uplift those who interact with you as well. If you don’t take care of your own vibration first, they will sense this too and will join you in not feeling good. Law of Attraction can line you up with miserable-feeling people just as easily. It’s OK to be selfish when we are talking about putting on your air mask first before you help others. Then let it be OK too that you put on your vibration of wellbeing before trying to assist others to find their wellbeing. Get into the Vortex, and then guide others there to join you. You will be so much more effective doing it in this order. Your power and influence is expanded and multiplied when you are in the Vortex and feeling good, so doing it any other way is not efficient, advisable, or even practical. Make this day be the best day of your life (so far!), and put on your mask of wellbeing and connection. Marie-GP

Every night when you sleep, you emerge into a space where you are very allowing. You receive rest and inspiration. You let go of patterns that you might be keeping (for better or for worse) while you are awake. It is a great time to recharge. I have a technique that I have used for years to make that subconscious time even more valuable to your waking vibration: I say a short, allowing affirmation to myself before I fall asleep each night. It’s easy to do, takes almost no time, and you will feel the effects of it as soon as the next morning. Here’s what you do:
Lie quietly in your bed and close your eyes. You should be ready to drift to sleep. Create a present-tense statement that reflects something you are going to receive while you sleep. Let it be one sentence that feels good when you say it. If it is job related, you could say: “My co-workers always enjoy my leadership, and we are a fantastic team.” If it is prosperity related, you could say: “Money and abundance flow to me endlessly in ever-increasing amounts.” If you are wanting more friends, you might say: “I’m always in the right place at the right time to meet new and interesting friends.” You get the idea.
Now, what you do is you say the statement to yourself, in your mind, while feeling the truth of the statement. Have no doubt that you are allowing this thing to be attracted to you through the Law of Attraction. The first time you say the statement, emphasize EVERY word, and feel each word as a confirmation of the thing you are allowing. See each word in your mind. For example, if you use the statement for prosperity above, it might flash through your mind like this:
MONEY AND ABUNDANCE FLOW TO ME IN EVER-INCREASING AMOUNTS
Feel the truth of this statement. It is coming to you in this moment. Then, say it again emphasizing only the first word:
MONEY and abundance flow to me endlessly in ever-increasing amounts.
Again, feel deeply the truth of this statement. It is coming to you in this moment. Then, say it again emphasizing only the second word:
Money AND abundance flow to me endlessly in ever-increasing amounts.
Continue in this pattern until you emphasize each word of the affirmation in order. Finally, emphasize the whole sentence again. The whole sequence would look like this:
MONEY AND ABUNDANCE FLOW TO ME IN EVER-INCREASING AMOUNTS!
MONEY and abundance flow to me endlessly in ever-increasing amounts!
Money AND abundance flow to me endlessly in ever-increasing amounts!
Money and ABUNDANCE flow to me endlessly in ever-increasing amounts!
Money and abundance FLOW to me endlessly in ever-increasing amounts!
Money and abundance flow TO me endlessly in ever-increasing amounts!
Money and abundance flow to ME endlessly in ever-increasing amounts!
Money and abundance flow to me ENDLESSLY in ever-increasing amounts!
Money and abundance flow to me endlessly IN ever-increasing amounts!
Money and abundance flow to me endlessly in EVER-increasing amounts!
Money and abundance flow to me endlessly in ever-INCREASING amounts!
Money and abundance flow to me endlessly in ever-increasing AMOUNTS!
MONEY AND ABUNDANCE FLOW TO ME IN EVER-INCREASING AMOUNTS!
At this point, relax and enjoy the fact that your mind is focused, your work is done, and your only job is to let the power of sleep do its work while you rest and receive. Look for evidence of the affirmation throughout the whole next day. You will see it. If you like the feeling of the statement, repeat it again for several nights. There is no need to do more than one statement a night. Just do it once and believe in the truth of it. Let the Law of Attraction respond to your asking without you having to “make it happen.” Enjoy, allow, receive, be grateful, and rest. Be.Love. Hannya-GP

Perhaps you spend a good amount of time thinking about what you want to attract into your experience. It’s exhilarating to enjoy life as a conscious creator. Once you know that everything you want comes to you through your attention to a subject, and that everything you don’t want comes to you through your attention to it, then all you have to do is focus on the things you want…and minimize the rest. Some people beat themselves up when they can’t seem to stay positive, or when they notice that they are thinking about unwanted things. Thoughts ARE powerful, but they don’t grab hold of your reality and manifest into events immediately. There is no need to worry. When you give your attention to things you want, and make the best of every experience you have, you are on the right track to creating the life you want.
If you fall into thoughts of lack, fear or anger, it’s totally alright, and you can always redirect and start again. There is never a point where you can’t begin again, because life is eternal. The Universe is eternal. Your consciousness is eternal. There is no one right way to be. There is only NOW, and all you have is this moment to enjoy and expand into. You don’t even need to analyze your thoughts to see what is coming to you…instead, pay close attention to how you feel. When you are inspired to action, that is because you are in alignment with your greater askings and desires. If you feel bad about an action you are thinking about taking, you are not aligned with the action, and it probably won’t bring you closer to a happy manifestation.
For fun, let every manifestation be a lesson in how you have been doing in terms of focusing on what you want to create. Let every event be evidence of how you are focusing. If something amazing happens, smile and enjoy the manifestation. When you experience a contrasting experience, tell yourself that it is a match to your thoughts, and just affirm that you will redirect to different thoughts concerning the event. Life, then, is a trial and error adventure. It is your life-lab where you get to think and manifest, and think and manifest. What you get matches the essence of the vibration associated with the thought, so the outcome is always perfect every time. Law of Attraction is perfectly consistent every time. How fun is THAT? So if you want to know what you are attracting to you, just notice how your life is going, and have fun redirecting if you feel a need to. It’s never done, so there is no hurry. Enjoy this most amazing day! Chris-GP

If you have asked the Universe for something, and you feel like you have been doing well playing with Law of Attraction, you might be asking “so where is all my stuff?” If you have asked, your stuff exists. It just takes time for it to be seen in your daily life (at least to the point that YOU will admit it’s there!) But I am here to remind you that your “stuff” is peeking at you all the time. Let’s say, for example, that you are asking for more money and prosperity to show up in your experience. You asked (vibrationally) when you felt like you didn’t have enough money, and now you are relaxing and letting Law of Attraction line you up with your new fortune. You are doing well. It’s time to savor the abundance in your life.
As you move through the day, see how the Universe is lining you up with the essence of abundance and prosperity, and then savor and enjoy it. Perhaps you get a call from a friend to house sit, and then they also need you to run a few errands in their car as well. Notice that you are suddenly living in a nicer house than the one you rent, and that the car you are driving is much like the one you have imagined as your next car. It’s yours now! I know you might say, but the point is that it’s NOT mine. That IS the problem. And if you look at it that way, then I agree that you have a problem. When you see these things as reminders of what you DON’T have, you move away from your stuff. When you savor it as an added expansion in your present experience, you help allow your stuff to come to you.
What I am suggesting you do today is notice how the things you want are in your experience today already. You have friends when nice people chat with you in the grocery line, and you have beautiful things to appreciate in stores, even if you choose not to buy them right now. Your new car is suddenly everywhere you look, and your new relationship is just behind every smile you see in others. Savor these gifts of abundance and tell yourself that it’s all here right now. This will keep you feeling good and open to receiving everything you want. Thank you so much… Be Well, 
Marie-GP

Hello My Beloved! I am writing to you today to help you remember just how much you are loved, and how much you mean to me. I know there are times that you wonder if I am paying attention to you. But rest assured that I am always with you, and I am always available to you. I flow through you in every second of every moment of every day, and while you can resist my flow, you can never cut it off completely. As soon as you relax and stop the struggle, I rush in with the full love and connection of Source to fill you, recharge you, and to assure you that all is well. I am the energy behind the Vortex, and when you are connected to me, you are plugged in to the energy that manages the Law of Attraction.
You did not come here to achieve anything in particular, or to work hard and struggle in pain until your physical death…rather you came here to to explore the diversity of expression on the Earth, to create new ideas and desires, and to experience the JOY of expansion that is uniquely available to you. When you connect to ME, you will think like ME, and you will feel about YOURSELF the way that I feel about you. Here’s a little bit of what I think about YOU:
- You are beautiful, lovable, and adorable.
- You are perfectly suited to be YOU, and that is your only job.
- You are a genius creator of your experience, and you are doing very well.
- You are loved, and you are perfect as you are.
- You are always guided, and I will never leave you.
- You are in the right place at the right time.
- You can’t get it wrong, because there is no end to your consciousness.
- You are not judged. Everything you do expands the knowledge of the Whole.
- You are in complete control of your experience, and what ever you desire, I will provide it.
- You are so free that I will let you feel anything you choose to feel…including disconnection.
- You are so loved that even in your disconnection, I will still flow to and through you.
Source Energy is what we all are, and there is no danger of being left behind. Feel me pulsing through you, and allow my energy to caress your body and consciousness into a better-feeling place. Love yourself as I love you, and let yourself expand and thrive in every moment. In Boundless Love and Appreciation, Source Energy

There are times that I can’t relax because I am trying so hard to accomplish something. I get the feeling that if I just try a little harder, or focus a little more I will finally be done doing the thing I am doing. This can certainly be true when the thing is paying the bills, or painting a house, or doing the dishes. But what about when you assign that frame of mind to larger aspects of your life, like attaining enlightenment, perfecting your tennis game, or becoming wealthy and prosperous? In these cases we often assign our happiness to a future time when we will be “done” and can then “arrive” in some new place or mindset.
Have you ever heard yourself say: “I’ll be happy when I can pay these bills’” or a similar statement. When you do this, you use Law of Attraction to your disadvantage. Remember that the Law of Attraction only responds to your vibration and not your words. So saying “I will put off my happiness until later in the future when this thing happens” keeps the thing from happening, and keeps you in an unhappy place.
We are all eternal beings, and there is no “there” to get to. The best way to have everything you want right now is to enjoy everything you have right now. There is a perfection in our imperfection…our journey can’t be completed…because it never ends. So don’t wish for the better day to come. Instead, look for the evidence that makes THIS day your best day so far.
Find as many excuses as you can to love your journey right now. Be grateful for everything you have today. No matter what you are doing today, find the perfection in the process. If you love your NOW, you will start ushering in amazing new NOWS as your future becomes the present over and over again. You will no longer long for your work to be over so you can relax into your wellbeing, because you will already be relaxing into the best part…and the ONLY part we have access to…the present.

As consciousness having a human experience on planet Earth, we are by nature “doers.” We like to do things, and we like to see results from our actions. It is easy to start seeing our actions as the only way things come to us, and to put artificial pressure on ourselves to “do more” and to “be motivated.” Working harder can be fun, and seeing better and better results feels very good. But if you are seeing fewer results from your efforts than you would like to, it may be a good time to examine how you have been approaching your actions. Have you been inspired, or just motivated? If you have been a regular visitor to GratitudePlanet.com, you know that we encourage being present and expanding into not doing anything sometimes.
Not doing is a powerful way to let go and to allow. However, it doesn’t mean that you should sit in your house and wait for someone to come feed, clothe, and exercise your body for you! There is a time for not doing, and there is a time for doing. If you are in the habit of waking up to a full run and going about your day at light speed, you may be feeling a bit overwhelmed, especially if the pace has been this way for a while. If so, try this approach for a week (if you need to rise earlier to get quiet time in your household, do so): wake and list ten things you appreciate or are grateful for in your life. Hold them to you and be silent. Expand into the wonderful feeling of these gifts in your life. Sit quietly and picture yourself doing the things you love to do. See yourself sailing, or painting, or singing, or dancing, or laughing with others, or enjoying your new house, or your new relationship, or whatever…you know best and you get to choose. Don’t put limits on your own mind, and just allow yourself to experience these thoughts as if they were already a manifested experience in your reality.
As you do this exercise, you will start to receive important information from the Universe in the form of new pictures in your imagination, or in the form of a feeling of inspiration. You will come to a new awareness and clarity about what only you can do this day. You will get a clearer sense of your priorities and goals for the day, and you will be inspired to move forward into action. When you feel this, stop the meditation exercise and start the action side of your day, following the inspiration you have received.
Actions that are undertaken with uninspired motivation are harder to accomplish, less fun, and leave you feeling worse than before you did the action. Inspired action puts you into the flow of the Universe, so you enjoy the experience more, you have more ease in the process, and you have perfect timing with resources appearing effortlessly as they are needed. You will attract the things you need through Law of Attraction, and you will feel the perfection of the process more and more. Inspired action is easy and invigorating. Motivation can be draining over time. So today, notice how you are moving into your doing phase. Try this inspiration meditation for a week and journal all the things you accomplish. Come back to Gratitude Planet and share your insights with the GP Community. Let us all know if this worked for you. Thanks for reading. Let me know if you liked this post! Lisa-GP

If you are feeling in the vibrational range of optimism or higher, it can be fun to go on a rampage of gratitude and appreciation. What you do is start naming things you love and appreciate, and let it snowball out of control. Let it lift you even higher into Expectation, Belief, Happiness, Passion, Love, and all the way to Bliss! It is important to be feeling at least in the range of optimistic before you try this, because you need access to thoughts that feel good to begin. If you are feeling, say, frustrated you will only have access to thoughts close to frustration, such as irritation or overwhelment. You CAN feel better by moving upward from frustration, but this game is not a good one unless you are already in a connected vibration.
Here is what you do: Say “I love (fill in the blank). Then say I appreciate (fill in the blank). Then perhaps, I am grateful for (fill in the blank). If you run out of things to love, appreciate or be grateful for, go more into depth about one of the things you already mentioned in a previous statement. For example, if you said “I appreciate my car,” and then draw a blank, follow up with “I love that my car is so dependable.” The fun really starts when you get a flood of ideas to be grateful for and to appreciate. You start feeling even better, and better, and better. So here is a short rampage from me to you. May you be blissful and connected and living in the moment today, and everyday! Be.Love, Hannya-GP
I appreciate this amazing day and the warmth and sunshine it brings; I love the friends I have and how they help me everyday; I am grateful for the technology that helps me connect with others; I love being alive, breathing, and being of value to others; I am appreciative of the Source Energy that flows through each and every one of us; I love being focused and productive and inside the Vortex; I appreciate having a family that loves and supports me; I am grateful for the many people who are interested in connecting for reasons of love and expansion; I am so happy to be exactly where I am; I love the moment I am in right now; I love my body and the wisdom it bring to me; I appreciate the openness of the world to new ideas; I am grateful for the love we all feel for this planet…

The Law of Attraction states that two vibrations that are alike are drawn together. You are a vibrational magnet that calls more of the same unto yourself. Because of this, it has been stated that you can be, do, or have anything you want. Anything is possible as long as you become a match to whatever it is that you want. Sounds good in theory, but what if I want to be an astronaut? What is the chance that a 40-something guy who teaches for a living will suddenly become a space traveler? Quite unlikely. So is the premise that you can be, do, or have anything flawed and untrue? No. It’s true, but some clarification needs to be made.
I may not be able to be an astronaut in the strictest sense, because I wouldn’t be able to start over and become a fighter pilot, or be in the right place to study and train at NASA, and I wouldn’t be chosen to go on a mission over the many other well-trained men and women ready to serve in that capacity right now. But the real thing working against this dream is the lack of vibration I have around it. Up to this point, I never wanted to be an astronaut, so I haven’t built up much energy to attract people and circumstances to me through Law of Attraction. What I have attracted is a match to what I have asked for so far, and stopping on a dime and changing my vibration to something totally different is possible, but unlikely. So the first clarification is that I CAN’T be, do, or have anything…but rather I have to want it first, and then I can be, do, or have anything I really want. If you want it, it is possible. If you can become a match to anything, it must become your reality.
OK, you say, but what if today you decided you really, really wanted to go to space? Then what? Is it possible? Yes, if I want it, it is possible. But how? First, I would start focusing only on thoughts that aligned with this goal. I would pay attention to how I feel when I think these thoughts. I would be sure to feel good about the goal, and not sabotage my vibration with doubt. Then I would look for any evidence that the Universe was providing for progress toward my goal. Perhaps I would meet people in the space industry who want to talk to me about the goal, or I would find myself watching TV shows about the topic. Every bit of evidence would be followed up by more optimistic thinking around the goal. “This is possible for me, and I am going to space,” I might say frequently. Law of Attraction would then begin to snowball circumstances and events to bring me greater and greater evidence of the goal. I might get a chance to go to a space camp or meet someone who is starting a company to send civilians into space. If I really followed this with my focus and desire, and if I didn’t contradict my own desires with out-of-the-Vortex thinking, then it would be possible for me to orbit the Earth in a spacecraft. I can do it.
Many people don’t think this is possible because they say they want things that they aren’t willing to pursue vibrationally. I can’t be an astronaut unless I have a strong desire to be one. You can’t lose weight unless you want to lose it enough to attract a “thin vibration,” which means focusing on thin and being single-minded and optimistic about thin. You can be, do, or have anything you want. So what do YOU really want? Are you willing to attract it unto you? If so, let yourself feel the essence of the vibration right now. If you want thin, reach for a feeling of thin right now. If you want prosperity, reach for a feeling of richness right now. If you want health, reach for a feeling of wellness right now. If you want love, reach for a feeling of joy right now. You attract everything to you, and your ability to focus on what you really want determines your success…always. Enjoy this most amazing day!

If you really think about it, all we ever have is right now. The past is always past, and the future is the future, and we only ever meet them in the present. Yet how many times do we allow the past or the future to keep us from fully enjoying what is happening right now? I would have to admit that I can be better at this more of the time. Eckhart Tolle’s book “The Power of Now” is a great read about this subject, and he suggests that not being present (or in the now) is a chronic problem in the minds of many people in society today. (See a link to his website under “Other Cool Sites” on the GP sidebar). He recommends that we take some time each day to think about nothing except what is happening right now, and then let your mind be free of both past and future for that time. What we discover is that this can be done through meditation, exercise, or any other activity where we focus completely on the present moment to the exclusion of the past and future. What happens is an amazing transformation where your worries evaporate, your vibration raises, and you feel better. Tolle asks his readers: “What problem do you have right now?” Any answer referencing the past or future is revealed as a false problem. He asks again, “What problem do you have right now?” As you realize that you will react in the now if a problem does arise, and that in the moment you will know what to do, then you can accept fully that, indeed, there is really no problem right now.
Once you realize that you have no real problems right now, you can relax into your wellbeing more, and allow yourself to feel better and better. Feeling better is the first step to allowing Source Energy to flow through you, and once you are connected to Source, all good things will flow easily to you. Do your best to live in the Now today. Live, breathe, move, feel, and be grateful right Now. Enter the Vortex right Now. Enjoy the power of Now, and the magic of Now. Imagine having everything you want right NOW. Feel the exhilaration of how it feels to be right where you want to be, which is always in the Now. Enjoy this most amazing day…right NOW! Chris-GP

There are moments when I can’t find joy in what I am doing. When this happens, I try to notice and change something. Most often when this happens, the cause of my emotional state is that I am not living in the present moment. My mind is preoccupied with something I am trying to create, or my thoughts are on some problem that I can’t seem to shake. I then realize that I am like a prisoner to my own thoughts, and that these thoughts are keeping me from my joy and connection to the Universe. When this happened recently, I was using my thinking mind to imagine a solution to a problem. Normally, this is a good thing…to become one with the vibration of a solution. But by not being present in the moment, I was practicing the vibration of feeling limited, unable to break free of the problem. So how did I break free? Here’s how…
I thought about what I wanted achieve through solving the problem, and I summed it all up in a single word: Freedom. I wanted a solution so that I could feel more freedom in every part of my vibration. So instead of spending my energy and focus trying to solve the “issue,” I instead turned my inner focus to the feeling of freedom. I started by letting go of having to be in control of the problem, and I just began to breathe and allow my thoughts to settle. I relaxed my face and jaw, and imagined myself in complete freedom. I was free to be, do, or have anything I could imagine, and I was unlimited by people or circumstances. I was free from my past and unlimited by my future. I came to realize that the only thing I really wanted was the feeling of freedom, and in a relatively short amount of time I was able to experience a feeling of freedom. What a joy to realize that the feeling of freedom was available to me even before I solved my “problem.” In fact, now the problem seemed almost insignificant to the joy I was feeling amidst my new-found inner freedom. If I can do it, so can you!
If there is something you want, ask yourself why you want it. How will you feel when you get it? Can you break free and start feeling that way right now? If so, you have access to the end goal in this moment, and you also have a way to help the Law of Attraction manifest the actual solution. By aligning with the feeling of having achieved something first, you are suddenly a powerful match to the new condition. If you are a match to the feeling of the solution, it must flood into your reality as a “real” experience. If you want more money, reach for feelings of abundance and prosperity. If you want a new love in your life, feel love for yourself and others right now. If you want better health, try to reach for thoughts that feel like wellness. You always get more of what you focus upon, and the end goal you are reaching for can almost always be expressed in an emotion or feeling that you have access to right NOW! What do you need to change to feel totally free in this moment? You don’t have to change your circumstances…but you do need to change your focus. Try it, and may you feel better and better. Enjoy this most amazing day! Chris-GP

It’s Memorial Day in the United States, and I just love an extra day to just remember the things that I am grateful for. It makes me think of the song “Let There Be Peace On Earth” because of the message it contains: “Let there be peace on Earth, and let it begin with me.” It makes sense that we should be like the thing we want, because that’s how the Law of Attraction lines you up with things. Law of Attraction draws things to you by sensing your vibration and matching it with other thoughts, feelings, and experiences that are similar. And as we have been discussing in others posts on GP, giving your attention to something is all you have to do to start vibrating like it. You are what you think, and what you interact with and focus on becomes your point of attraction…meaning that the Universe is bringing you more and more of it constantly. The phrase “and let it begin with me” is very wise advice for deliberate creators because it puts the emphasis right where it belongs: on you!
When you want to attract something to you, you need to vibrate and become one with it first. In practical terms, if you want more money and prosperity, you must first begin to feel like you have more money and prosperity. If you want an intimate relationship with a new person, you have to feel like the person is already there. If you want peace for the Earth, you must first make peace with yourself and the people in your immediate vicinity.
Try this today: make a list of several words that you think best describe what you want to see in others, or in the world. Only you know the best words for you today, but some of these might include: honest people, caring friends, peaceful world, loving family, prosperous economy, thriving health, etc.. Choose one and decide that you are going to let this greater desire begin with YOU! Become quiet, breathe calmly and deeply, and “see” yourself having achieved this greater desire. Feel how you would feel if it were already yours to have. Imagine others interacting with you and commenting on this thing you now have, and how great you look and feel having achieved it. Project this feeling outward toward everything in the Universe. Expand into the knowing that you were able to align with these desires easily, and that you can do it again…easily…on any subject you choose. Give thanks and end the visualization with the knowledge that you have literally created a point of attraction that will create magic in your day. You are now ready to line up with evidence of your alignment through perfect timing, “chance” encounters, and new and exciting developments in all areas of your life. Stick to one or two desires for two to four weeks, and just enjoy the process of already having what you want to see in the world. Say to yourself, “Let there be _____ on Earth, and let it be me, breathe me, and live through me right now.” Try it and let us know how it worked for you. Enjoy this most amazing day! Chris-GP

Leonardo da Vinci (1452–1519), the great Italian painter, sculpter, architect, engineer, and scientist was once quoted as saying: “Art is never finished, only abandoned.” As an artist, I totally resonate with his words, and I well know the feeling of incompleteness. When you pour your creativity into a project, and when you have a blissful and focused creative outlet, there is no end to the expression you can create. You find more things to change or make better, and even when an artwork is good, you always feel like a few more brush strokes, or a few more color combinations will make it perfect. But it never is perfect. It is only an expression, perfect in its imperfection. It is a living expression of itself, and nothing more.
Aren’t we all masterpieces in the making? Can’t the words I have typed actually describe a human life? We may work our whole life to become something finished, perfected, or complete, but we will never reach these states of being. Once we feel the perfection of a moment, another moment rushes in to take its place, reminding us that there is more, and more, and more to experience. We desire, and then we achieve, and then we desire again. The eternal nature of living in this Universe is both a gift and a curse. Until you make peace with where you are, you will always want something you don’t have. Yet you will never have everything you want…so you need to love where you are. It’s a complex paradox.
You will never be finished, but you will abandon your body someday. Don’t try to perfect your life, but instead experience it as a masterpiece in the making. Love the lines, the colors, the smudges, and the textures. Play in the clay, and express your energy through the art of abundant and joyful living. Be the most meaningful expression of YOU today. There is no greater art than to be who you truly are, incomplete yet eternal, and expressing your unique expression. Thanks for reading. Let me know if you liked this post! Lisa-GP

I enjoyed Lisa’s post yesterday about Lao Tzu and his advice to do nothing. Doing nothing is a big part of allowing everything. There are many other spiritual teachers that guide you toward the state of just “Being” as well. When you are in a peaceful and calm state of mind, a place where you are one with the thoughts of the Universe, you are truly one with everything. In fact, when you can get to this mental state, you are in an allowing place where the Law of Attraction can work magic in your life. It is a great space where everything you are asking for, both with your words and with your vibrations, can easily flow to you in a series of perfect manifestations. It is a magical state. The only question left to ask is: “why don’t I find myself in this state of mind more often than I do?” The answer is intimately connected to this question: “What are you doing that keeps you from entering this state more often?” You see, you are the only one who can keep you away from your natural state of just being. When you stop resisting the flow of energy that the Universe is sending to you, you automatically connect to your well being. So it’s not so much about trying to do anything. It’s more about letting go of the things you do that keep it all from you. For example, you may do your best to meditate everyday. But when you meditate, do you let go of the chatter of your brain and just trust in the magic of the moment? Are you afraid to let go because you might “waste” the time that you could be using to solve the problems of your day? To just BE, you must BELIEVE that all is well, and you must TRUST that you are receiving powerfully through your NOT doing.
To enter Being, you must Believe that your work is done for the moment. You must allow your fear to melt into knowing. You must free yourself from worrying about the details and affirm that Law of Attraction will manage the details for you. When you try to Be without believing, you will doubt yourself, you will be frustrated that more is not coming to you sooner, and you will feel very alone and apart from Source Energy. So today, relax and believe that all is well, because it really is! Let yourself find peace in this moment, right now. You can be excited for what may come in the next moment, but believe in this sacred space and let now be the best moment so far. Enjoy this most amazing day! Chris-GP

May 12, 2010
Someday I will be happy. Someday I will have enough money. Someday I will have my soulmate in my bed. Someday I will have the health I desire. Someday I will have time to just “be.” Someday….
Have you ever said or thought these kinds of thoughts? We all have at some point. They can also be shrouded in “As soon as I finish this, I will focus on that” and other future-focused statements. While I know there is a time and a place for everything, and I know that you can’t rush progress, I also know that NOW is all we ever have. People who wait for tomorrow can’t fully enjoy today, and tomorrow will never come because it will always become today first. Everything you want will manifest in the present, and never in the future or the past. In fact, Law of Attraction responds to your vibrational offering on everything, so if you think something is in the future, it cannot manifest in your present. So that is why it seems like some things are difficult to attract to you…it’s partly because you don’t feel them in your experience today…right NOW!
OK, so how do you feel things right now that haven’t even materialized yet? You do it with the power of your conscious focus. It’s like a game, but it has to be done with complete release of what is so that the vibration of what you want can be experienced right now. Let me give you an example. Let’s say you would like more prosperity in your life. Someday, you say, I will not have to worry about money ever again. This focus reinforces that you don’t have it today, so your vibrational offering being matched by Law of Attraction is “today I have no money.” So your situation can’t change very much no matter how hard you work to change it. Law of Attraction just piles on with what ever you offer through your thoughts, feelings, and actions. Instead, use the power of your thoughts, feelings, and actions to experience your flowing prosperity right now. Sit quietly and close your eyes. See yourself doing something you would do if you had the money today. What would it be? Who would you talk to? What would you wear? What would you drive? What would be your goal for the day, now that your prosperity is flowing so very strongly? Imagine all of this coming together in this moment. Reach for the best feeling you can as you do this. Do you feel the joy of having the prosperity? Is there fun in the allowing of the images? See if you can relax and allow fun to be your intention as you focus. Bask in this experience and milk it for all you can.
For the time that you focused, imagined, and enjoyed having your prosperity right now, Law of Attraction shifted people, events, and circumstances to direct you toward a “real” manifestation of all that you imagined. The world changed (the real world) to match your vibration of prosperity. Once you begin to master this process, you will be able to move through any day with the focus on the things you want to create, experiencing them with joy and gratitude. Even as you see things unwanted in the world, you will be able to feel the presence of the wanted things more and more. You will live NOW as if you have the things you want, and the time needed for creating wanted things will decrease greatly. Your life will become a blissful and appreciative journey of loving focus and connection, and you will solve little problems before they become big problems. In short, you will want and desire things, and then enjoy having them in your mind and vibrational offering, and then you will see the new conditions manifest in very little time. You will be a deliberate creator of the life you want and deserve. Everything you want will be available to you. You will be doing what you came here to do on planet Earth, and you will be an inspiration to others too. Thanks for reading. Let me know if you liked this post! Lisa-GP

April 21, 2010
I choose love whenever I can. Love is a vibration that feels good, that has no resistance, and that fills me with joy. Choosing love is easier than you might think it is. It does not mean pretending to love when you feel angry. It does not mean smiling when someone wrongs you. Choosing love has nothing to do with being disingenuous. It means being genuine, and being genuinely open to flowing the power of Source through your body and mind as much as possible. Do I get disconnected? You bet I do, because I am a human being on planet Earth. That’s part of the deal I agreed to when I emerged here on my first birthday. I knew that there would be connected times as well as disconnected times. But I never agreed to hold myself in a state of disconnection, or to look for things that made me feel bad. I came here, on planet Earth and in this body, to live fully…and this means loving fully!
I am always looking for excuses to love. We ignite our life with vigor when we allow our self to love fully. But how can you love fully with so many distractions in your day? I just let myself BE distracted by opportunities to love. Here are a few instances when I have loved recently:
- I sat on a rock near my house and heard the call of a cardinal in a high tree near by. I drank on the call of this majestic bird. I loved the sound.
- I took a bubble bath. The water was warm and soft. I breathed deeply and loved the moment.
- Someone complained to me at work. I thought about how they were doing the best that they could, and I felt their good intentions. My reaction turned from confusion to love as I saw her for the extension of God that she is.
- I looked at myself in the mirror and saw lines on my face and bags under my eyes. Then I saw the person behind those lines and bags…the person who earned them! I saw myself as a wise and complete human in the moment. I felt love for myself.
- My dog came to me and licked my face. I love my dog. (That was an easy one!)
- I spent five minutes on Facebook leaving a few positive comments for a few wonderful friends. I love the convenience of Facebook.
It goes on and on. If you want to fully live, you have to look for more opportunities to love. Loving is easy when you expect to love. Let loving be your intention, and look for opportunities to express your love, gratitude, appreciation, and connection in each moment you encounter. The Law of Attraction will respond quickly to your vibration of love, and you will increase the joy in your life to levels that will blow your mind. Thanks for reading.

April 10, 2010
I am sitting here tonight, typing and looking at the beautiful Pacific Ocean while playing some of my favorite music on the Bose Dock. I love taking some time to just BE, and on this particular Saturday evening things on this small part of the Planet seem to be in their perfect order. One of the songs that I just heard on my iPod was “Big Bad World” by the band “Plain White T’s.” This song has inspired my post tonight.
Sometimes when you have been doing your best to move ahead, it seems like you can’t. You may find yourself in endless contrast, or in patterns that seem to give you the same unwanted results over and over again. This is part of being human on Planet Earth, and we all will experience contrasting events that help us hone our desires. Remember that when you know what you don’t want, you know better than ever what you DO want. This is the gift of contrast…it helps you focus with greater and greater clarity. It is how we launch new ideas, desires, and experiences. And once you can consciously harness the Law of Attraction and start noticing how you feel more often, you will recognize more and more how contrast helps you clarify your desires.
Life is eternal. You never “finish” doing anything, because to be done is to find an end…and there is no “end.” Of course, there will certainly be moments when you feel complete, and when your desires feel fulfilled, at least for a time. But you can count on the fact that as soon as you reach “the end” of anything, a new beginning will emerge, and you will continue your quest toward the end. But you will never arrive, not ever. So striving to finish can sometimes keep you from living NOW, in this moment. And this is the wonderful gift of the present moment…everything you want and need is available right now, as long as you can tune into it and let it in right now.
So how does the song “Big Bad World” relate to this post? Read some of the lyrics and see if you can make the connection:
Big Bad World (Plain White T’s):
It’s a big bad world
Were doing what we can
Sometimes we fall on our face
Before we even learn to stand
But we get back up
Shake off all the dust
And take it step by step
I can fill the whole floor to the ceiling
With all the dead wrong choices I’ve made
And even though we try to learn
From each others mistakes
We’ll do it again (doing it again)
We’ll do it again my friend (doing it again)
We’ll do it again and again
Till we eventually can change
The way it’s always been
It’s a big bad dream
Following your heart
Sometimes the one you
Need’s the one that tears you apart
So you say goodbye
Kiss her one more time
And cry the whole way home
I can fill up the driest river
With all the tears falling off of my face
And even though we try to learn
From each others mistakes
We’ll do it again (doing it again)
We’ll do it again my friend (doing it again)
We’ll do it again and again
Till we eventually can change
The way its always been [x2]
Just running ’round in circles
Tripping over every hurdle
Were just trying to do the best that we can
It’s a big bad life
All that we can do
Is try to make it right
Tomorrow something new
So if a big rain cloud
Follows you around
Don’t let it get you down
We’ll do it again (doing it again)
We’ll do it again my friend (doing it again)
We’ll do it again and again
Till we eventually can change
The way its always been.
The song is really well written, and has a nice rock edge to it. You probably can see the connection here, I am sure. We do the best we can, but we will always experience some contrast. We will feel like we are not expanding sometimes, but we will do our best to live, feel better, and to move ahead. We may make the same mistakes over and over, but eventually we will experience change…and in so doing we change the way it has always been. The message I hear is this: relax and be easy about your experience. You may not advance as fast as you think you should, but it’s OK. We all are working our way through our life experience at our own pace, and what you experience is the perfect unfolding for YOU. Let your life be a fun and interesting mix of love and contrast, joy and focus, fun and clarification. It’s a Big World, and there is so much to experience. Love it for what it is, and let yourself embrace your life in all of its fullness and variety. Enjoy this most amazing day! Chris-GP

The rules of the Law of Attraction are quite easy to understand, but are perhaps more difficult to practice deliberately. Simply stated, you attract to you the things that match your vibration. Your life, then, unfolds perfectly based on what the Universe “hears” you asking for. You never stop asking, however. You ask with every thought, with every thing you observe, and with every interaction you have with everything. We are all perpetual askers. Another way to say this is that you ask for what you want by focusing on it, and you ask for what you don’t want by focusing on it. Both (wanted and unwanted) are drawn into your experience by your attention to them. It makes sense, then, to give your full attention to the things you want so that you can manifest the wanted things into your experience.
If you have been playing with these ideas, but are a little frustrated that things are not happening more quickly for you, you may be taking score too soon. Once you have asked for something, usually by living some contrast that clarifies what you do want…you need to change your focus slightly. If you keep thinking of yourself as someone who needs the new thing, you may be keeping yourself in a pattern where the Universe brings you more of the same. Universal Forces line you up with things that match the essence of where you are…but the Law of Attraction doesn’t care if you are experiencing something, or just living it in your imagination: it matches you up with more of where you think you are vibrationally. For example, if you ask for money because you don’t have much, the Universe “hears” you and lines you up with more money. But the vibration you need to align with to manifest it fully is “I have more money” and not “hey, where’s my money!” It’s an amazing Catch 22 here…you can’t have it until you feel you already have it…but as long as you don’t have it, it’s tricky to feel like you have it.
Here is something I suggest to get you through the doubt stages of manifestation. Once you have identified something you are asking for, be it prosperity, a new relationship, a better job, or whatever, relax and affirm that your “work” is completed. Visualize the essence of this thing in your mind, and see it already coming to you in full form and completion. Feel the complete thrill of having it already. See yourself enjoying it in as many ways as you can imagine. See yourself telling others how much fun you are having with the thing in your experience. Picture it, but more importantly feel and love the essence of it right now.
Once you have done this visualization (and do it as often as you can), start looking right away for evidence of it coming to you, and be grateful and appreciative for every sign you see. If you are looking for more money, pick up that penny in the street and tell yourself “see, I am prosperous and the Universe brings me unexpected income. This is just the tip of the ice burg for me.” Resist the temptation to say something like “just a penny? Universe, I never have enough. You didn’t HEAR me, did you?” If you look for the small clues, and affirm that they are attached to bigger and bigger clues that eventually usher in the full manifestation, you will rejoice in the smaller evidence as if it were the whole experience coming into your full awareness. The clues ARE there. Your wellbeing is assured. Let go, look for evidence of it, and appreciate the magic of the Law of Attraction. Enjoy this most amazing day! Chris-GP

April 1, 2010
Today I took a very brisk run and started my day off with a healthy dose of exercise. Sometimes it can be hard to get myself out there in my running clothes, but today I did it with very little resistance from my own thinking. (I like when that happens!) And today I had a minor revelation about why exercise is particularly healthy. Sure, your blood pumps, and your heart strengthens, oxygen increases in your lungs, and your muscles are used and stretched…but what happens in your head…how does Law of Attraction work and what other benefits come from exercise? We know that some people benefit in similar ways from quite different amounts of exercise, and studies have shown similar benefits from either walking or running for the same amount of time. So why run when you can walk, right? I just like running, for one thing, and I think there is another big element at play here as well. That element is your presence.
When I start exercising, my mind is awash in all the details of my cluttered mind such as work, the house, the clothes to do, supper to make, bills to pay, or whatever. But as soon as my body begins to to tire and I start breathing harder, and as soon as the way my body feels gets 100% of my attention, I feel an immediate and positive shift. I suddenly come to focus in the moment, and there is nothing on my mind except what I am doing: running. I feel my breath, I feel my feet, I feel the air going by, and all the clutter in my mind goes away completely. I shift from living in the past and future to living only in the present moment, and in doing so, I enter the Vortex. Being in the Vortex makes everything seem easier. I get my runner’s stride, and I relax and let the rhythm of the running take me. I stop working on anything. I enter a world of just being.
Exercise is something you can do so that you can do nothing. Interesting, isn’t it? But I am confident that it is the presence and point of NOW that makes it all so powerful. Being in the moment is what makes your vibration raise, and when your vibration raises, all good things begin to flow to you through the Law of Attraction. When you exercise, you are forced to be present as your body demands your attention. So don’t think of exercise as something you have to do to be healthy, but rather as something you get to do to do nothing. Sounds a lot easier, doesn’t it? Try your favorite kind of exercise with this intention, and see if you feel better. Exercise creates a presence of mind, and the presence creates a flow of Source Energy and wellness. Do nothing today, and be well! Marie-GP

March 28, 2010
If you are anything like me, you have spent a lot of time in your life focusing on the future and trying to expand your life into new and better circumstances. You probably envision a future where the things you want flow easily and freely to you, and you see yourself happy and contented. On my best days, I know this is true for me. But I have also noticed that when the new thing or circumstance arrives, I occasionally long for the the way things used to be. While I really wanted the new and evolving life circumstances, I sometimes wish I had enjoyed the things I used to have even more while I had them. I am sure you can all relate to this. It can be a challenge to love the things you have while you have them, especially as you look to the future with longing for something new. Law of Attraction works in your favor most efficiently as you live the vibration of the new condition in the present, so being a deliberate creator will necessarily dictate some letting go of old vibrations and patterns. More often than not I think we get frustrated when our new condition: job, weight loss, money, relationship, or whatever, hasn’t come yet, and we put off being happy and feeling better in reaction to our current condition. This is a double whammy to our connection and conditions because feeling bad in the present ruins the experience of the present, and it also keeps the new future from manifesting as well. The only way to a happier place…is through a happy place. The only place you ever experience anything is right NOW. So the key to getting where you want to be is to make the most of where you are right now, right here, in this precious moment in time.
So you probably “get it” that now is all we have, and that you have to make the most of it; and you may still be thinking “but I still have no _____ (fill in the blank) right now.” Gratitude Planet, help me get my stuff! We all have moments when we get frustrated and need a tool to find our way back up the emotional scale. I like to remember, whenever I can, that no matter how you feel about your present, it is only temporary. Everything on planet Earth is temporary. Everything you own, every relationship you have, everything you see, and everything in your present reality will pass into some other form sooner than later. And when your present becomes your past, will you be glad with the way you enjoyed what you had? No matter how bad you want your new conditions, are you ready to love the things you have right now, knowing that they will inevitably pass through your fingers and into your past? Today is a good day to ponder this question.
The Gratitude Planet staff has been really busy this spring with various jobs, projects, and workshops. The talk in the office has been about how busy everyone is, and how things seem to be very compressed in terms of time. So I have been on an “everything is temporary” mantra, helping us all remember that no matter what now is, and feels like, sooner than later it will all change. I remind us all to find things to love and enjoy today…right now…while it is still here and active in our present. My feedback indicates that this is making a positive difference for many who are taking it to heart. Love your present moment, and live in it fully. Loving your now opens the door to allowing your best version of the future. Loving your now pays off RIGHT NOW! Being happy and savoring everything as a temporary circumstance causes you to stay centered in this moment, which is where you will experience all your joy, passion, connection to Source Energy and the Vortex, wealth, wellness, prosperity, and appreciation. Live now. Love now. It is all you have, and it is all you will ever have. Thanks for reading. Let me know if you liked this post! Lisa-GP

I just want to make a point this morning about how we probably spend too much time worrying about stuff. If something hasn’t happened, you don’t need to worry about it, and if it has already happened, you know exactly how to deal with it. In most cases, real problems don’t exist right now. They only exist in our imaginations, and we have a lot of power to direct our imagination. The Law of Attraction works by reading your imagination, feelings, and vibrations and then magnifying and matching it with similar ideas, events, and feelings. Living in the present and staying focused on feeling good is the best way to use Law of Attraction to your greatest benefit.
One of the things many people worry about is what others think about them. They allow the opinions of others to be more important than their own guidance system. Your guidance tells you everything you need to know to stay in the Vortex, feeling good, and creating the life you want and deserve. When you worry too much about the opinions of others, you make your own opinion of yourself less important. But only YOU know what is best for you, and only you can guide YOU. I am pretty sure that we have the ability to screen the opinions of others out of our personal vibration if we just try to do it. Most of the time, people offer their opinion and forget they even said it…while you continue to carry it with you and make it a worry and a distraction to your present moment. The only one keeping it activated is often YOU. So I suggest today that you allow yourself to relax, breathe deeply, and let others do your worrying for you. You job is to mind your own business and vibration, and to feel the best you can. What others think about you is really none of your business, to take care of your business today with joy and connection to Source Energy. Be Well, Marie-GP

Everything we experience in this life on Earth is framed by time. It takes time to read this post, time to brush your teeth, time to prepare a meal, and time to complete a college degree. It’s all about time. Yet, we also know that time is more illusion than it is real…your perception of time changes the way you experience it. You have certainly been involved in something pleasurable where time passes in an instant, where hours seem like minutes. Likewise, you have also experienced events that drag on, where minutes seem like hours! We also know that we always live in the eternal NOW, and we know that past and future never exist at all…but rather now always becomes past as the future becomes now. Your real power always resides in your NOW. So why worry about time at all?
I would re-frame the question to be “why worry EVER?” But because we are discussing time this morning, let’s look at how you move through your day, and what tips we can suggest to make it more joyful, fun, and connecting. Everything in the Universe is existing in a perfect order. Source Energy manages everything with perfect precision, and planets spin perfectly, the sun rises and falls in perfect order, and the cycle of life continues well after we leave this realm. Flowers bloom and die, and the seasons take hold in perfect precision through the years. Perfect timing is what the Universe is based upon, and we are an integral part of this perfect unfolding, as long as we allow ourselves to be. When you focus on joy and the things that thrill you, the Law of Attraction lines up events and experiences for you that match your focus. A ripple of desire and vibration pulse out from you, and the waves rebound back toward you all day long. If you let yourself relax and be guided by your feelings and intuitions, you will notice the waves as they return to you. instead of rushing around and “trying to make it happen,” you will be able to get all your work done in a magical and serendipitous chain of events that unfold naturally. You will master the art of “perfect timing” in all things, and you will feel an ease and satisfaction in the process too.
Today, affirm that you are open to hearing your inner voice as it inspires you to act, or not to act, on everything. Affirm that you are always in the right place at the right time, and then flow with this knowing. If you get stuck in traffic, say to yourself: “I am always in perfect timing. All is well right now.” Then look for evidence of your alignment with time. Be optimistic about your intersection with events and people. If you were delayed in traffic, notice the magical interactions you have later in the day that would not have happened of you had arrived ten minutes earlier. Notice the little events that would have escaped you. Remember that you are part of a perfectly unfolding reality, and that it is natural and easy to be in the flow. Relax and allow your alignment. Look for well being. Enjoy the perfection of your place in the Universe. All is so very well indeed. Enjoy this most amazing day! Chris-GP

There are times in your life when you know exactly what you want, and you can get very focused in terms of manifesting it. There are other times, however, where you can seem to be waiting for inspiration to take hold and guide you toward the next thing you want. Either way, life has gifts for you to enjoy. When you have been experiencing periods of contrast, you get a clear picture of what you want to manifest. For example, if you get really sick, then you create a very strong desire for health…and Law of Attraction answers immediately by creating a vibrational YOU who is in better health. If you have financial challenges that get chronic, then you create a very strong desire for prosperity…and Law of Attraction answers immediately by creating a vibrational YOU who is experiencing immense wealth and prosperity. You job, once this has all been done, is to become the new you with the expanded experience. It isn’t about attracting the new thing. You are literally becoming a new you, experiencing a new vibration with an expanded perspective. This is important because most people try to allow the new thing from the place where they are standing…in essence, trying to vibrate differently from the same vibrational standpoint. To move ahead into a new vibration you need to relax, allow, and be willing to be the new you. Yet, your ego perspective will do it’s best to talk you into staying in the same patterns that you have established. The ego likes to hold on to what it has for fear of losing everything. Yet, there is no end to the expansion of the Universe, and you will always be alive in some form. If you want to experience a new manifestation, play with the idea of being a new you…the idea of changing enough to be the new you with the new thing. If you do this, you will more easily imagine yourself in the new vibration, having a thrilling experience in the new place as the new you. Be willing to let go, and let the Universe fill you with a new expansion. Enjoy this most amazing day! Chris-GP

This summer I did something I haven’t done in years. I was visiting family and there was a large puzzle on the kitchen table in the process of being completed. Working on a puzzle looks so boring, and I hardly consider it as an activity worth spending time on. But I was on vacation, and I really wanted to spend time with family members, so I started working on the puzzle with them. I have to say, it is way more fun to work on a puzzle than it is to watch someone else work on a puzzle.
