I thought for my 35^th birthday it would fun to list 35 things for which I am grateful. Here goes!

1.  Family – My family is incredibly supportive, generous, loving and kind. I hit the jackpot with this one!

2.  Being an aunt to two beautiful nieces – I get so much joy from my nieces and am so

proud to be their auntie.

3.  Friends – My friends mean the world to me, and have always been so encouraging and loving.

4.  My next door neighbors – this may sound silly, but I have the BEST next door neighbors. I spend so much time with them, and feel incredibly blessed to have randomly moved in next to them! They have made my move from the West coast to the East coast so much easier.

 5.  My Job – I still pinch myself when I walk through the doors of QVC. It’s still surreal and I am truly over the moon to have the job of QVC Program Host.

 6.  My bosses – They are amazing, supportive, brilliant and kind. It’s a special bunch here at The Q!

7.  Co-Workers – My co-workers have been loving and supportive from day one. So many of the hosts have helped me through training and reached out to make my experience at QVC wonderful.

8.  QVC Customers – I wouldn’t have a job without you. I absolutely love meeting QVC customers and am beyond grateful for your support.

9.  My Yoga Practice – Yoga is a huge part of my life and keeps me grounded.

10. My Health – Every day I’m grateful for my good health. I try never to take it for granted

11. The Sunshine – I love Spring and Summer and am so grateful for hot sunny days

12. Raindrops – However, I do love a good rainstorm – perfect cuddle weather.

13. Full Moons – I love and am fascinated by the moon in all her beauty.

14. Love – I’m so grateful to know and have felt love.

15. Animals – Nothing makes me smile more than an adorable animal.

16. My Education – I feel so blessed to have received a fantastic education and to have been able to study anything I wanted.

17. Freedom – So often this is taken for granted. When I traveled to places where the people were oppressed I learned the deep gratitude I have for my freedom.

18. Good Food – I’m so blessed to have access to good healthy food.

19. Clean Water – Again, this can be taken for granted but it shouldn’t because it’s vital for life.

20. Awesome shoes – It’s superficial, I know…but I LOVE shoes

21. My home – I love my sweet little home. It has a happy energy and I love being there.

22. My Crew – They rock! They work so hard and make me look good!

26. My Outlook on life – I do believe that good wins.

27. Fun Clothes – I love the feeling of wearing something beautiful and how that makes me feel.

28. Cool Makeup – Great makeup makes me feel beautiful.

29. Social Media – It’s awesome to ‘meet’ my QVC customers and stay in touch with old friends.

30. Wisdom with age – Each year I gain knowledge and wisdom – each year I get better at not sweating the small stuff.

31. Ability to find humor in situations – Laughing helps everything. Finding humor in situations helps ease stress and tension.

32. My senses – I’m so grateful to be able to experience life with all of my senses.

33. My Disappointments – They make the good times that much sweeter.

34. My Mistakes – That’s how I learn and then I’ll do it better next time!

35. Life Itself – What a beautiful, wild ride it’s been thus far. I wonder where it’s going…
