Finding Gratitude in Stillness

Finding Gratitude in Stillness Today is Day 14 in quarantine. As I shared before on March 20th, I was forced to stay home until this virus does it's course. Stillness. Quietness. Gratitude is something I vibrate each and every day. From big things to small things, I find something in each day that fills my being with the vibration of gratitude. Today as I was listening to this song called Songbird - it's an old song, it has been out since like 1998 but I hadn't heard it before. I was singing, dancing, and walking outside. Getting some sunshine. It was still. I could hear the birds chirping in between the start and ending of the song.  As I was thinking of how grateful I am for I know everything works for my highest good. I felt an enormous heartfelt gratitude to God.  The thought came to me that this virus had been around for a while, some say it was around since November. And it hit me, I was like thank you God for allowing me to received an answered prayer. In Dece...

Rare Palindrome Day

How amazing this is the first time in 11 years there has been a date without the number 1 and the last "global" palindrome day for 101 years. Next one (12/12/2121) Trust that everything you're dreaming of and  more is on the way. Numbers 22, 222, & 2020 are your confirmations. Magical energetic shifts happening. Do you feel it?

Friday the 13th

Yesterday Friday the 13th,  my sister and I traveled to North Carolina. My daughter gets married on Sunday. It's an exciting time in my life. I am so very grateful to God for this blessing. Yesterday we flew in to North Carolina. It was so cold and raining. We picked up my dress for the wedding. I had mailed in to Young Cleaners in Concord, NC early because I wanted to make sure it would  be pressed and ready for me when I arrived. I was so pleased with the owner Zelda. She eased my worries and it was a pleasure to meet her after talking to her over the phone several times before I felt sure to mail in my dress.  After we picked up my dress, we drove to the hotel - Homewood Suites by Hilton in Concord. I had called the night before to request early check in. We had woke up very early to begin our travel day. I was so happy when the room I selected was ready and we were able to get settled in. I texted my daughter to let her know we were here and to let me ...

The Secret Key to Manifesting

Earlier this year, I was excited because it was announced that Marc Anthony was coming to Hertz Arena. One of my cousins had told me that Marc Anthony's concerts are amazing. He puts on a show. So of course I wanted to go and see him. I had not gone to his concert. I had sent the link to my cousins to see if one of them or all of them wanted to go.....none replied. One day two of my friends said they wanted to go as well. So we chatted about it and said okay we will go. Things ended up not working out for them to go. I was not about to attend a concert alone so I didn't get a ticket. A few weeks another friend said his work was going to raffle tickets. I told him you are going to win, visualize it and declare it once you do remember me. I stated with affirmation. I said I am going to the Marc Anthony concert. Months went by and I can honestly say I have found the secret key to manifesting. I'll share it with you in a minute. When you begin to vibrate in alignment with yo...

Thankful Grateful Everyday

Once upon a time I would have said Thankful Thursday.  Now it's Thankful Everyday.  Each and everyday we should wake up with an attitude of complete gratitude. We should see our trails and struggles as opportunities to grow and learn. We are here on Earth learning each and everyday. I have found when I changed my attitude towards a grateful/thankful one, my life completely shifted. I am not saying that my life is easy. I have my ups and downs. But I have learned to see the chance to grow in each situation. I invite you to begin today making a mindful decision to shift your vibration to gratitude. Your life will change. Mine did. www.nannciesantana.com

Bad or Good

  Choices. We've made bad ones. We've made good ones. I stated "we've" because I too have made bad and good choices. I have learned from those choices.  I am about to share some important life journey lessons and how you can move forward living a happier more fulfilling life.  The first thing you must recognize and accept are your choices. No matter how old you are once you become an adult - there is no one to blame but yourself. STOP blaming the life, your mom, your dad, your family etc. At some point in your life, you made life changing choices.  I share this because of experience. When I was young I blamed others for my life. It wasn't until I began to grow and learn. I realized I (me, myself, & I) attract ALL the events that had happen to me. I choice this experience for a reason. I had to go through this for a purpose.  Second, you must learn to forgive. Forgive everyone and most importantly forgive yourself. Once again, I share...

Living in a State of Gratitude

Are you living in a state of gratitude?  There is power when you live in gratitude.  The movie The Secret taught me some important things, first of all your thoughts become things.  What you focus on that is what you will attract in your life. Living in a state of gratitude means your thoughts should be on being grateful for the things you have NOW. By living in this state of being....the universal law of attraction says that we will attract into your life the things we focus and think about ....if your thoughts are on lack (negativity) you  will attract that. But if your thoughts are on your many blessings than the universe says lets give more things for them to be grateful for......so remember GRATITUDE attracts what we want. Another area that I've notice people having a hard time with is accepting a blessing from others.....remember when someone gives you a $20.00 bill it is the giver that shall receive a blessing. So many times I see people want to cut off the...

My Mother

My Mother  How many teenagers blame their mother, father, and even God for their life and everything that happens to them? I will be  very honest, I was one of those teenagers. After first  watching the movie "The Secret",   I realized that blaming my life situations  was keeping me from living my true purpose.   The choices  we make lead us to our path....if we make bad choices  we  will be faced  with tough, rough roads...but if we choose good than we will be in smooth, safe paths. Since becoming spiritually awaken and truly living life in a state of gratitude, I have learn that every lesson is meant for learning, for growth, to guide you into your path towards your life purpose.  NO ONE is responsible for the choices you have made but YOU.   Parents - you should not blame yourself for your children decision. When we begin to take responsibility for your choices, a shift will occur. On Mother's Day, I was able to share ...

Your heart (even if you're going through tough times) is pouring out LOVE! You shine like a star! ** Close your eyes at this every moment and take a deep breathe in and as you let that breathe out.....imagine LOVE surrounds you...feel the warmth of a hug....a tingle of a kiss....just enjoy that bliss! Blessings

Successful and Empowered Woman

In order to become a successful and empowered woman there are changes you must be willing to take. Making a shift in order to live a successful and empowered life. You must believe you are worthy! You must be willing to develop that self confidence, self worth, & self esteem in yourself. You were created to be successful to live a happy and healthy life. There is so much you can accomplish in your life but you must believe in YOU! There are many times in order to make this shift you must HEAL from prior struggles that you've gone through.

You must take time to love yourself daily.  Start these little habits today and I promise you that you will become more successful and empowered! 1. Start your day with Gratitude. My favorite is my Gratitude Journal. 2. Smile to everyone you come into contact. A smile is free and can bright...

The Art of a Healthy Relationship

What is required to have a healthy relationship? Some would say it takes a lot of work. That you have to have magic. Some have master the ART of having and maintaining a healthy relationship. Like most of us girls, we grew up watching fairy-tales with happy endings. These fairy-tales, did now prepare us for the “real” world. I believe we must first learn to have a healthy relationship with the most important person you will ever be in a relationship with in your lifetime ~ YOU! Do you love yourself?

It took me some hard bumps on the road to reach it but I want to share with you some quick steps to having a healthy relationship with YOU. So many woman search for that one person that will love them unconditionally. When all along you've been with that person. That person is YOU. Do you love y...

3 Simple Steps for Self Love

I want to share "3 Simple Steps for Self-Love" that I have personally used to empower, heal, and truly discover the meaning of Self-Love. The first step is  awareness.  Begin by being completely aware of your thoughts. Thoughts that clearly are meant to self sabotage yourself. When we become aware of these thoughts we begin to be mindful of negative thought patterns that do not serve you or your well-being. The second is  forgiveness . This is a tough one because I am asking you to forgive yourself. The key to self-love is to truly become aware of all the junk that isn't serving your personal growth. We can be our own worse critic. We can find it extremely hard to forgive our own self. When we don't forgive ourselves for our shortcomings we remain stagnant. When we remain stagnant we are unable to see the beauty within our soul. The third step is  gratitude.  The third step is so easy to put into practice once we forgive ourselves. When we free ourselves from...

A Mother's Pride

Today as I sit here relaxing on this day May 8, 2016 celebrating Mother's Day just BEing. I reflect on memories shared with my children. I am grateful for all three of my children (Benny, Ashley, and Junior) and I wish them best in this world. Today, I share the photo I took with my oldest son on Friday May 6, 2016, so proud of his accomplishments. That is "A Mother's Pride" to see your children happy, healthy, and reaching for their own goals in life. My oldest son graduated from FSW with his Associates in Arts.  As you can see with the smile on my face. I was very proud of him. Happy that I was able to share his moment. I pray that Ashley and Junior will reach their own goals. I want what's best for my kids. I want them to know that they are more than capable of reaching their dreams. It's been four years since I've heard from them on special occasions and I was about to say that's okay but it's not okay. It's not okay to alienate your mot...

#chooseLOVE

Each and every day we have a choice.  We can choose lower vibrational emotions or higher vibrational emotions.  I choose LOVE.  I choose to see to each lesson of my life in a loving way. I have made mistakes. I have been hurt. I have been treated badly BUT I choose to see LOVE. I know that they way I feel and the way I think will create my future. I choose LOVE, happiness, joy, peace, kindness, etc etc...... I challenge you to wake up each morning and think of something you LOVE.  Allow yourself to truly feel that energy fill your entire body.  Believe me it's a GOoD feeling. When you start this way and practice this each day you will see a big difference in your own well being and the way you look at life. Sending you light and love wrapped with Angel Blessings.

Energy Exchange

Money is neither good nor bad; it is energy. It is the way money is used that determines whether or not it is a positive energy that will benefit you and others. If you come from the highest level of integrity with your money, if you make it in ways that benefit people, through shifting their consciousness, or through serving and making a contribution, by giving your best, honoring others, and putting attention and consciousness into what you do, you are making a contribution to humanity and to yourself. When you use money in ways that serve your higher purpose and bring you and others joy, you are creating money of light. The more money is made and spent with integrity and light, the more it becomes a force of light for everyone. True abundance is having all you need to do your life’s work – the tools, resources, and living environment – and to live a life filled with joy and aliveness. Abundance is not an extravagant, glamorous style of living maintained purely to impress others o...

GRATITUDE

Each individual is responsible on how he or she wants to live their life.  In what state of mind they choose to live it in....do you want to live it in an attitude of thankfulness or not. Tonight as I reflected on my day.....I choose to live in a state of gratitude.  Why? Because I am truly grateful!  I will share the "WHY" I am truly grateful with you. In January, I checked myself into the hospital because I thought I was having a heart attack....stress and anxiety made me developed heart palpitations. But I felt as if I was having a heart attack. I felt my heart was going to come out of my chest....that is how hard my heart was beating. I am grateful it was not a heart attack but they found something else....they told me my liver count was extremely high.   An ultrasound would reveal nothing and I was told to check in a couple months again with my family doctor. Granted, I was scared. I could not imagine why I had a high liver ...

Yesterday I was at the beach in Naples, Florida.  When I look up I saw this beautiful view of the sun with a circle around it.   It was amazing. I had to share it with you.

My Dreams come true in 2015!!

As 2014 comes to an end. I sit here and think about ALL the dreams I have for 2015.  See my dreams and goals do not come to an end with the finale of 2014. I AM continuing on with the intentions of fulfilling ALL my dreams and goals. I ask you what dreams and goals have you buried away because the years have come and gone?  Do you know that limiting beliefs, energy blocks, mindset can keep you from reaching your highest potential.  Do you know that hiring a coach can help you with all the above. One tip I will give you is that if you want to see miracles in your life......you have to live life as it is - a daily miracle.  Live in gratitude, joy, love, kindness, happiness, etc etc You may ask but how when I don't see anything looking up for me. Well I am here to tell you that "like attracts like" start changing that mind-set. Affirm that good things are coming your way.  Affirm that the doors are opening in your favor.  Affirm that you are being guide...
