I am sitting here simply bursting with Joy and Gratitude and here is why…

In September of this year, through a perfectly serendipitous series of events, my husband and I purchased 6 acres of land in the North Carolina mountains in the exact spot we had discussed living a few months earlier.  We expressed our desire to live in the area and we let it go… and everything fell in place and led us directly to the land we purchased.

For Christmas this year we decided to rent a log cabin in the NC mountains near our land where we are going to build a log home in 2008.

My family was here to celebrate Christmas with us and we all enjoyed the cabin.

As I sit here now in this log cabin I am filled with joy and gratitude for the beauty surrounding me both inside the cabin and outside.

At this moment it is raining and I can see the rain through the windows and on the skylights in the ceiling.

There is a beautiful stone fireplace still decorated with beautiful greenery and white Christmas lights.  Peaceful dulcimer music is playing softly. 

My husband Dennis is napping and my two chihuahuas are sleeping peacefully.

From my recliner where I am sitting I see mountains in the distance with clouds swirling around them.  We are higher than the clouds.  Wow!

I also see lots of trees and a few other log homes in the distance.

I pretend I live here - that I am in my log home which will be built in 2008.  I FEEL what it feels like to BE in MY new log home.

On the inside I see beautiful log walls and rustic furniture made from tree limbs and vines, a relaxing day bed by the window, a large comfortable rocking chair, tables and desks, and a perfectly appointed and modern kitchen with a convenient bar.

I see ducks and geese and bears resting on the fireplace mantle and hearth.

This cabin is decorated exactly as you would expect of a cabin in the mountains.  There is even a sign on the wall that ways “Cabin Sweet Cabin” and a sign outside that says “Welcome to our cabin.”

There is a large porch on the front and a large porch, screened porch and deck with a swing and a hammock on the back of the house.

Last night I stepped outside with the chihuahuas and I was surprised by a BIG possum.  That was a little scary… lol

The owner of this cabin left us a gift basket and beautiful Christmas arrangement of evergreen and eucalyptis and pine cones, along with a lovely vase of fresh flowers.

I am grateful for this experience and the joy it brings and I am happy to share this joy with you.

I encourage you to take action to achieve what you want in your life. 

Choose the way you want your life to be and move in that direction.

When I surrendered to a power that is greater than me I began to receive more than I could have imagined for myself.

As I sit here relaxing and enjoying this mountain home, my income continues to increase through the passive income streams I have created … which allows us the luxury of this vacation.

I am blessed and I sending blessings to you.
