The 1st that comes to mind is my dog Foxxy. I got her in March of 2020 (a month before the world shutdown) and I am so glad I did! I had the opportunity to take her everywhere with me, work, clients homes, and now living in Long Beach Ca, it’s dog city here. I can take her to most places and I enjoy having a dog. She’s been a better companion for me than most men I’ve dated LOLOLOLOLOL.

2nd, I am grateful for my health and ability to assist others. I’ve been training for over a decade and with all of the chaos going on in the world, I have a newfound appreciation for what I’ve achieved as a professional and as a student of life. 3rd, is the support around me. I’ve had some serious growing pains going on, and it felt like I was being tested constantly. I felt alone and unsure because of enduring a lot of pain from toxic people. There was a point where I had to cut people off, including family members. My friends helped me a lot going through this, as well as strangers who’ve had similar experiences.

4th, is moving to Long Beach. I’m from Sacramento, and moved to Orange County in 2017. I lived in different cities there, but always wanted to live in Long Beach (LA county). I am grateful for its diversity and the arts. It is so unique here and I love living close to the water. Maybe it’s because I’m a mermaid (Virgo), and being an earth sign calls for more water or other earthly elements. Lastly, I’m grateful for my peace. I’ve done (and continue to do) a lot of self work, and this includes living more intentionally. I am more mindful about my words and actions and do things with purpose. It has made me more appreciative and more present, because life is truly a gift.
