Day #14: Create Yourself (& BIG give-ways!)

Create Yourself

Today marks the beginning of week three of our Thirty Days of Giving Thanks challenge and I'm continuing to make space to thank those in my life who have taught me something new.

As a thank you to YOU for reading my blog, I'm offering you a sweet opportunity to win a spot in some of the best e-courses out there!

Nothing brings joy and inspiration into your life like learning something new while connecting to other women from all over the world.  Here are just a few led by some of my very favorite women on-line.

Creative Courage is a practical guide to help you clarify your own unique path and give you tools you need to start making your goals real. Creative Courage will run from January 9th - February 24th, 2012.



Journal Your Dreams - offered by Amelia Critchlow
This is a two-week long on-line workshop exploring dream-setting (reaching your goals) through watercolor, photography and collaged words. This course is open access and you can take it anytime from now through October 2012.


Sparkles - offered by Jamie Ridler

Rooted - offered by Megan Monique
Imagine your entire creation, your life, your body is a house.  The Root Chakra is the foundation your house has been built on.  In Rooted, you get the opportunity to take a good look at what it is your roots have grown into.  You will get to explore as you gain tools to assist you with creating abundance, freedom and so much more. Registration is always open.


Inside Out: A Creative Adventure of Self-Discovery 
-offered by me.
Become a bold explorer of your dreams, celebrate your unique brilliance and embrace the REAL you in this 5 week e-course experience.  Through art journaling, writing, guided meditation, and yoga principles you will learn how to limit the distractions of the outer world and reconnect to your intuition and creativity.  Rediscover the inner wisdom and beauty that live within YOU and be inspired to bring it out more fully into the world - all in the comfort of your own home and at your own pace. This course runs January 23rd - February 24th, 2012.

  4. I am thankful for this give away! I have wanted to take your e course for a while now.
    Aside from that, I am truly grateful for my health this year. I have felt "off" for the last couple of years and think I have finally found enough balance in my life to really take care of myself.
    I follow you on Facebook and now follow all five e course facilitators on Twitter.
    Thank you for this opportunity!

  6. Today I am thankful for my health and being able to accomplish what needs to be done in my day. As I age and fight the affects of Grave's Disease, it may take me longer to do things than it use to, but I do get it done.xx

  7. today I am thankful that I have a home, my health, my loving family, and so many opportunities to continue to grow and help the world. We helped cook a meal for our local homeless "tent" community that is at our church right now. They smiled and clapped and thanked us for the hot meal and it was so simple but it so made me realize how truly blessed and lucky and thankful I am. And this was the day after a large limb fell on my car and broke my windshield. That seems so petty in comparison to how truly thankful I am to be in the life I am in.

    Thanks for the wonderful opportunities to win a spot in all these great looking e-courses! I am hugely thankful to know you Shannon!

  18. hi shannon,
    catching up with your posts,
    i love that surrender is a positive, and i love that you gave yourself permission to.
    great post and photo too, so sweet.

    i would join the food challenge, but it would be cheating, i'm with a nutrionist right now, eating and juicing veggies. it also includes seasonal fruit, wild fish, quinoa and yams. even though i've eaten healthy all my life, this is something else, i'm really missing my latte and wine! (and mexican food) :)

    i'm thankful that i have this opportunity to see a nutritionist and eat all this healthy food, and hopefully it will give me my good health back.

    p.s. i don't have f.b. or twitter...thank you for the giveaway.
