Welcome, Raebeth. What
would you like for our readers to know about you personally?
I would say that at first I may seem shy but I'm really
talkative. I am crazy busy with two kids as a stay at home Mom. I have been
married for almost four years, however we didn't have the fairytale ending. In
2013, I gave birth to my daughter who was stillborn and this dramatically changed
my life. At that moment in time, I turned back to God and have been following
Him since.
Tell us about your
family.
My family is a crazy
bunch. I have three children total but only get to parent two of them. We live
in a small place on the outskirts of town surrounded by trees in all
directions. Yes, we have neighbors but not very many. I have one fur baby and
he's an all white cat named Romeow.
Have you written
other nonfiction books?
Yes, I have written my daughter's very short journey here on
earth called, Saying Goodbye Without
Saying Hello. It was a tough write but I wanted to bring more awareness to
Pregnancy and Infant Loss.
Do you have any other
books in the works right now?
Of course! I'm in the process of writing a book for women on
having a godly marriage and another in the fiction genre.
What kinds of hobbies
and leisure activities do you enjoy?
I love to color in adult coloring books. The
inspirational/spiritual coloring books are my favorite. I love to read. I
journaling and photography. However, I prefer to spend as much time with my
family as possible.
Why did you write the
featured book?
I felt led to write it. We see a lot of hate and
ungratefulness in our crazy world. Stumbling toward Gratitude takes the
reader/journal on a journey in a month and helps them to see the small
blessings in life.
What do you want the
reader to take away from the book?
I want them to be able to spot areas in their lives where
blessings occur but are often missed. Those who live a more grateful life tend
to live happier lives. Who doesn't want a happier life?
Is there anything
you’d like to tell my readers about you or your book?
Give it a chance. Dedication is important and so is self
discipline. It takes 21 days to form a habit, so push to continue through the
journey. I promise that it'll be worth it in the end.
Please give us the
first page or two from the book.
Gratitude is thankfulness, appreciation, or attitude in
acknowledgment of a benefit that one has received or will receive.
I'm so glad that you decided to join me in bettering
yourself and I'm praying you'll find it within to follow along each day and
find the hidden blessings within your very own life.
First, for this challenge you will need a journal. It will
be our gratitude journal. This can be a notebook, papers stapled together, or
you can purchase an actual journal for this. You can also download the
Attitudes of Gratitude Journal from Play Store to use on your phone. (iPhone
users can download the gratitude journal from iTunes) Either way, I believe
this will be worth it in the end. By
doing this challenge, you're going to retrain yourself to see the best in all
situations and be more grateful, even in the rough times of life.
I will be giving you a guideline throughout this journey, so
you can follow along with it. I'm praying for a more grateful life for you. I'm
hoping to help others learn how to make gratitude a regular family tradition.
The daily challenges are based on research showing that
people who are grateful for things (big or small) tend to be happier and
healthier when they fully commit to the challenge. With each entry, try to go
into as much detail as possible. Don't be vague about it. Going into details
and be specific about what you're writing about. This is the key factor in
gratitude journaling.
