Grateful for the Unfolding

"Even in the unfamiliar, I choose gratitude — because everything is purposeful." -Zendalannette

Happy 27th, Beautiful Soul,

I hope this month’s blog finds you well, grounded, and wrapped in Grace.

Today, across America, many are celebrating Thanksgiving — A day to acknowledge blessings… A day to gather with loved ones… A day filled with traditional meals, familiar recipes, laughter, joy, and connection.

But this year, my experience looks a little different.

For the first time, I am away from both of my children and my husband.And even in this unfamiliar space, one truth remains unchanged: I am intentionally making time for Gratitude.

Why?

Because I am immensely grateful for my journey. For the lessons.For the learnings.For my evolution. For my healing.For the woman I have become — and the woman I am still becoming.

Choosing to Have The Audacity To BE the First To Put Me 1st… In All Ways & Always has made space for my highest version to emerge —a version grounded, softened, strengthened, and aligned.

And yet… in the midst of this beauty, I am navigating tender lows.

Connections with the very souls I’ve birthed feel strained. From my vantage point — perplexing. From my healed place — understandable.

Because true healing teaches a hard but liberating truth. Sometimes the issue is not yours. Sometimes the only assignment is to Pause, Pray, and Trust.

So today, even with distance between us, I stand anchored in Gratitude — not because everything is perfect, but because everything is purposeful.

I am grateful for the unfolding. I am grateful for the clarity. I am grateful for the Divine pruning and Divine protection. I am grateful for the space to love without abandoning myself. I am grateful for the woman I am still becoming — Evolved & Evolving.

A Signature Zendalannette Mini Reiki Practice

To Stay Rooted on Thanksgiving & Beyond

Beautiful Soul, take a moment to ground yourself with this gentle 3-minute Reiki practice. Use it today. Use it anytime. Use it whenever you need to return home to yourself.

PAUSE & PLACE

Place your right hand over your heart and your left hand over your belly. Close your eyes. Let your shoulders soften.

Whisper:

“I am here. I am safe. I am rooted.”

BREATHE WITH INTENTION

Inhale for 4 seconds…Hold for 4…Exhale for 6…

Repeat 5 slow, sacred cycles. Feel your nervous system reset.

INVITE LIGHT IN

Visualize a warm golden light entering through the crown of your head. Let it fill your entire body —your mind, your heart, your spirit, your cells. Allow it to dissolve stress, doubt, emotional residue, and expectation.

REPEAT THE AUDACIOUS AFFIRMATION

“I Have The Audacity To BE the First To Put Me 1st… In All Ways & Always.”

Say it with breath. Say it with intention. Say it with trust.

SEAL WITH GRATITUDE

Place both hands at your heart center.

Whisper:

“Thank You, God, for this breath, this moment, this alignment.”

You are now rooted. You are now centered. You are now ready.

Use this as often as you need, Beautiful Soul.

Your body always remembers.

A Moment for Reflection: Your Journaling Prompt

Before you move forward, take a moment to sit with yourself — softly, honestly, compassionately. Let this question guide you inward:

“What am I genuinely grateful for today — not because it is perfect, but because it is purposeful?”

Allow your thoughts to flow without judgment. Let your pen — or your heart — tell the truth of this season. This is where healing meets clarity… And where clarity meets Audacious Becoming.

With Grace, Gratitude & Audacity,

~ Zendalannette 🌹
