Morning Praise and Gratitude

It is another beautiful morning, one that I praise and express my gratitude to the Creator for. It is a wet morning in Kingston, Jamaica, but no matter what the weather, I AM HAPPY TO BE ALIVE!

PRAISE:

I bless my God the Universal Creator at all times and praise for the Creator shall continually be in my mouth. My soul shall make her boast in the Creator and the humble shall hear thereof and be glad. I am exalting and magnifying the Creator all the days of my life.

GRATITUDE:

Today is another beautiful and wonderful day and I thank You my God and Creator for the privilege of life, to breathe and be part of the universe another day. Thank You for blessing me with all that is available to me in the universe and for blessing me with the ability to use what is accessible to enhance my life and help others enhance theirs.

Who am I?

Have you ever asked yourself ‘who am I’ and truly thought about it? I did that all the time and finally realize that I am no one.

Ahh I see the shock on your face, and it causes me to smile, because I expect you to be. No one describes themselves as ‘No One’. Anyways, you will understand what I mean in just a second.

We often attach ourselves to ideas, groups, race, things, job titles, etc., because we believe we have to identify with something and add labels to ourselves. But recently I started thinking about how limiting that is.

I do not want to be that person who labels myself and shut up in a box that limits me to be or do one specific think. I have no problem with specializing for career purpose, but it doesn’t mean that we can’t serve and gain satisfaction in other areas of life.

So I have finally stopped asking Who am I because I have figured it out. “I am no one, I know nothing, and I own nothing. I am merely grateful that I am part of this wonderful universe and have access to everything, passionate about everything and utilizing what is available to impact this planet.”

Grateful for My Mama!

Dear God, today I focus on my gratitude for my dear mom who passed on July 2, 2017. I am so grateful that you allowed her to come into this world on Saturday, October 25, 1947 to impact all the lives she touched as:

An obedient and discipline child to her parents and various communities in which she was raised.

A loving sister to many.

A wonderful and devoted wife to her husband

A loving, protective, caring, strict and jovial mother to seven biological children and a host of foster children, grandchildren and great grandchildren, whom she nurtured and encouraged to be exceptional human beings.

A wonderful relative to a host of aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews and cousins.

A counsellor and advisor to thousands.

A long-standing and devoted member of the People’s National Party in Jamaica.

A creative interior decorator and business woman who cooked and satisfied thousands at Mama’s Place in Bay Road, Westmoreland, Jamaica (now I am missing her cooking lol. She was a great cook, and many loved her pork meals.)

She was a wonderful friend and confidant to many, including me.

She was a devoted Christian.

God I thank you that I knew her and that she loved me and I her. I especially thank you my Father that while writing this, I am smiling (last year this time I was tearing up). I am her writing and visualizing her; seeing her all dressed up (she loved to dress up and was a fashionable woman) on a Sunday, looking beautiful as ever and graceful going to church, where she sang beautifully.

Again, I thank you God for sharing her with us, I will always love and cherish her memories…now I am in tears, but I am fighting them back by smiling, because God you are good for sending her to impact lives, especially mine and this is good reason to be happy and grateful.

I will keep smiling in your honour Mama – Happy birthday hon and keep singing with your beautiful voice and watch over us. Thanks for your love and care my beautiful Catherine Anglin-Pearson. I LOVE YOU ALWAYS!

You are missed by your husband Desmond Pearson, me, your daughter Maria and sons Billy, Steve, Jeremy and Acleish. Please say hello to your baby son Franz who left us to be with you in paradise. You are also missed by thousands who love you. Again, happy birthday mama!

Dear God – Thank You!

Dear God, today I rise and honour You in the beauty of holiness. I sing You praises for allowing me to be witness to yet another beautiful morning.

My God I adore You! You are my King of kings, Lord of lords, healer and provider.

It is such a peaceful and cool morning here in Kingston, Jamaica and I am rejoicing because I made it.

So many didn’t make it this morning. I am so saddened by this, but take comfort in Your words from Revelation 21:4 – “He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death’ or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away.”

I send love and virtual hugs to everyone who lost a loved one, especially to Covid-19. But in the midst of all this, I lift my faith knowing that You always comfort Your people, according to Matthew 5:4 – “Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.”

Thank You, God for cradling them in Your loving arms and reassuring them that You are still in control and You will never leave or forsake us. I thank You that my family is also comforted as we grieve the loss of a son, brother, father, husband, uncle, nephew, cousin and friend. Rest in paradise my little brother Franz. I love and will miss you man!!

Thank You my Almighty God for taking care of Your people and for blessing us with the Gifts of Your Spirit and Fruits of Your Spirit; love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.

God as I go about my daily routine, I take comfort in the fact that I will be divinely lead by You to do what is pleasing to You and will bring You glory. So at this point I wait on You to tell me who You want me to serve today and who You want me to comfort.

Please drop Your answer in my spirit and it will be done.

Thank you once more my wonderful God for blessing all Your people, in the beautiful name of Your Son Jesus Christ.

Love always from your daughter Gillian!!

Sharing My Gratitude on the Last Day of 2019

Gratitude is my daily attitude especially in 2019! Being grateful brings me joy and on this last day of 2019 I am reflecting on the past year and decade.

Looking back through the years, there has been some highs and some deep lows, but hey I am alive!!

IMPROVING MY HEALTH IN 2019

Losing my mom to cancer in July 2017 was the lowest blow. It shook me and my family to the core as it all went so fast, but the high point of this deep dark time in my life is that my siblings and I are now closer than ever.

Losing her has also caused me to be living healthier, as I made it a priority to learn all I can about healthy eating; healthy living on a whole. This I did by learning a lot from researching “how to”. Though it still hurts, and I continue to miss her daily, I am grateful that her passing caused me to take steps to be a better and healthier person. This includes:

scheduling my days and prioritizing so that I do not stress over things that are not important
eating foods that cause my body to function well and feel good
getting enough rest
maintaining healthy relationships
doing things that I love and enjoy
developing my spirituality (consciousness)
operating a business that I really, really love
mentoring youths
and much more

Such is life, right? Though I have suffered many low blows that are too much to mention, I have withstood the test of times and now rejoicing because I am alive to tell the tales. If that is not success, then what is?

EXPRESSING MY GRATITUDE

Sharing My Gratitude on the Last Day of 2019

I am using this opportunity to express sincere gratitude to my CREATOR, who is always with me, guiding my steps and EVERYONE who supported me and my business, Mystique Professional Services in any way shape or form over the years.

The list would be too long if I were to start writing names. But I would never be who I am without my family, friends, mentors, teachers, clients and colleagues who assisted or advised me along the way. I am not leaving out the critics, lol sometimes I need them (hope you understand that).

When I took the bold decision to start my business in 2012, I knew what I wanted to do, but later realized I was not fully equipped for the task. I thought my past job experiences and short courses in marketing would be enough, but far from it.

Looking back now I can laugh, because its so funny and strange that though I didn’t have good experience in my field, I always received good reviews from most of the persons I offered Music PR service. I guess I am a natural right? But that isn’t how I wanted to grow my business. Well I kept saying that for years but was too busy to take time out to further educate myself in the area I wanted to serve.

WHY I MADE THE DECISION TO CHANGE

I remember a few years ago someone referred to me as “CLUELESS” 😆😂. Others would have been furious, but for some strange reason I stopped and reflected. Though at the time the sound of that one word cut deep like a knife, I am glad what was meant for evil turned me into the businesswoman I am today.

Oh yes! Because of that remark I began to research and study like wow to better equip myself with the wisdom, knowledge and understanding I need to help my clients achieve your goals. In some strange way I have to express gratitude to the dude too…well let’s hope I will see him again, but I send it to him mentally…yep!

Because of him I made the all-important change to further educate myself and now I am growing, my business is growing, and I am grateful.

STEPPING INTO 2020 LIKE A BOSS

On this 31^st day of December 2019, I sit here writing my thoughts while sipping on a cup of my favourite tea and thinking about this lovely quote, “Tomorrow is the first blank page of a 365-page book. Write a good one.” ~ Brad Paisley

That is exactly what I will be doing! I have revised my vision board, checked in on my daily and weekly schedule to make sure they are aligned with my visions and goals for the next year and decade. Smiling with gratitude, I visualize myself in the next few hours stepping into 2020 like a boss – great woman of God, woman of compassion, youth mentor, publicist, marketer, entertainment blogger, good Samaritan and a woman who loves myself and everyone unconditionally.

What are your plans? Feel free to share in the comment area.

NEW YEAR’S WISHES TO YOU

I look forward to sharing more with you in the new year and that my relationship with you will be strengthened and of course I am looking forward to building new ones.

Cheers to you and your families and I wish you great success in every area of your lives. Make the best of it doing what brings you joy. Happy 2020 🎉. Step into it like a boss and claim all that your beautiful hearts desires. Do good always and I wish for you blessed love 💕💝💕
