There is more to bi-polarization than meets the eye...

There is a balance to life.

Today I must relate the gratitude I feel in my heart for all I’ve received these fifty-five years.

The last few posts in my blog had a slight complaint theme to them; yet worked at being respectful of the people involved and of the great success they’ve achieved. In all sincerity, I am deeply grateful to each and every single one of them for sharing their knowledge with me, and I am completely in awe of them.

One day, I will be in awe of myself!

Oh, wait! I AM in awe of myself. When I look at all I’ve accomplished and how successful I’ve been in the last three and a half years outside the corporate field, I can hold my head high. I’ve worked for an international thought leader; I ran an online community with over 10,000 members world-wide; I’ve made hundreds of friends all over the globe; I am regarded as an intellectual of the heart—one person calling me “Mother Earth”; and by the end of this year I will have 14 books to my name that I’ve penned solo, contributed to, mentioned in, or featured on the cover.  

I have successfully transitioned from corporate employee to author status (my true dream!). I have successfully transitioned from having no confidence to assisting those who were like me grow into their self-confidence. I have successfully transitioned from having no J.O.B. to a fulfilling practice of mentoring and coaching, strategizing with those who seek a better, more fulfilling life doing what they love to do—and succeed at it!

Two weeks ago I learned that I was picked along with a few others to be published in a book developed by women, collaborated by women for women. The book began its debut last week. Today as I read a post from one of my fellow contributors, I learned that she and I were chosen over and out of fifteen HUNDRED entries!

I am deeply and completely in gratitude and appreciation for this honor.

Fundamentally Female™ by Renee Rongen can be found by clicking this link.
Your life may seem mundane and uneventful—mine sure does from time to time. But I bet that if you look deep enough and objectively enough you will find an infinite number of awe-inspiring, heart-fulfilling, and love-provoking accomplishments of your own. And sometimes these successes are right there in front of you, on the surface, where they can be easily overlooked.

Take a few moments right here, right now to quietly reflect on all that is good in your life. Be in gratitude and appreciation of everything around you, of all you possess, even the phone, computer, or other electronic device you’re reading these words on; and especially for the means in which you received it.

Gratitude is the polar opposite of sadness. When feeling a bit under the weather or just not yourself, bring to mind the thanksgiving in your heart; the scales will even out.

To your success,
PeggyLee

PeggyLee-
Over the last 2 weeks I've spent time essentially stopping the world, in reflection of my nearly 55 years, and the most recent few in particular. It is so helpful to stop and look at the whole, and acknowledge the many accomplishments of a lifetime and the many areas to be grateful for.
This quiet reflection can give you strength when times get rough (as they do!) to know that you can get through anything. It can also provide you with insight for changes you may wish to make to have a more fulfilling future.
I am thankful for those who've taken the journey before me and shared their knowledge of reflection and gratitude, so that I can learn and grow. I hope to do the same for others!
Namaste~

Janette,
I certainly do have so much to be thankful for... and even more I don't mention in my posts or anywhere online.
People I know, such as you, feed my inspiration with the encouragement and support received. .... truly warms my heart.

"One day, I will be in awe of myself!

Oh, wait! I AM in awe of myself."

-- Peggy, those words absolutely lift my spirits! I love to see people realize their potential, grab hold of it and never let go! This is so refreshing to see after reading so many self-deprecating blogs. You've somehow raised a burden off my shoulders knowing there are others who love themselves, see their inner light and don't apologize for it.

-- Thank you.

Stephanie,
Being able to see yourself as accomplished, be proud of the fact you are, and able to share it with the world is a learned skill. It takes a great deal of inner work -- and what I intend to teach those wishing to have more confidence that will move them beyond the self-deprecation you speak of.
I am grateful you shared your words of wisdom with me as I fine-tune my message. Thanks for stopping by and hope to see you again, soon.

Congratulations on all your achievements, PeggyLee! They're super inspiring. I especially admire people who have excelled in such different areas.

I'm definitely living through mundane days right now, so I really needed the reminder to highlight the positivities. What a breath of fresh air! =) Thank you!

Samantha,
You are full of a bravery and courage I'm not certain exists in me... traveling to another country, giving up a life I know for the greater good and development of a new world. I have another friend who travels to Uganda to give those who live there a better life. I am in awe of you both!
Different people have different accomplishments and ones to be very proud of.
Indeed, remember your bright spots... they will carry you far.
So glad to have met you and to know you through your writings.
Thanks so much for stopping and your sharing your thoughts.
