I have had a few opportunities this weekend to think about this idea of “becoming.” There are so many events and moments in our lives that mold and shape us into who we are – for good or not so good. How we choose to react to our circumstances, moment by moment, shapes our character into something that is hopefully better than when we started.
The same is true with the people we choose to interact with. We all have those people in our lives who change us because of what we have learned from them through their example or their love, their teaching or anything else that impacts us.
This week’s download is in celebration of those people in our lives. If you print it out (making sure the “shrink to fit” box remains unchecked) then you can whip up a few cards with this sentiment – or simply skip the card and just trim the thought itself. Whatever works for you.
But let’s pay it forward. Take a moment this week to share this message of gratitude with at least 5 people. Thank them for the impact they have had in your life – whether large or small – and let them know that they have contributed to all the good things that you are becoming.
Have fun and let me know how it goes. I love hearing the “after” part of the story.



Thanks for the great download! This will make a really nice addition to a layout about me and my hubby.
The gift of gratitude is so unlimited. I so appreciate this wonderful opportunity you have created–literally and figuratively. I am making a list of cards to make, the added bonus will be some creative time. I will keep you posted.
Also thanks for the inspiration to join you on your exercise journey–I just finished my one hour run and I feel great!
Keep those lovely baby photos coming our way!

I am ever so grateful for your post. I really need to slow down and remember my blessings, but really seem to get caught up in the “why me?” syndrome and start feeling sorry for me because I get overwhelmed. When, really, I have so much to be thankful for, grateful for, and blessed.
I think this might be my most favorite download yet.
I love it! I am going to print it out, frame it and give as a gift to my husband.
Thank you for your continued inspiration!
