Every Friday, the Little Bliss List provides a chance for us to celebrate the little things that brought us hope and happiness this week. I do believe when we focus on the sweet stuff of life, the sweet stuff multiplies. And by sharing those small gifts in our lives, we help others notice the gifts in theirs.
So good to see you here! I’ve got all kinds of sweetness to share with you today – and I hope you have some to share with me. Ready to dig in?
1) Hard to believe this time last week, we were at the hospital with Ryder! Our brave boy was a star patient and has spent this week recovering at home. I must admit, having him rely on me more than usual for comfort and help has been kinda lovely. Thanks so much for all of the warm wishes and love sent our way!!
2) My mom stayed overnight and made her vegetarian lasagna. So yummy! There were leftovers and I seriously got excited about lunch for several days afterward!
3) Oh, you guys. This is so exciting for me: I hired a new assistant and she starts TODAY! Just in time for my Etsy shop to re-open next week and before other big projects come to life, giving me time to focus on the most important stuff. Pinch me!
3) I met for dinner with my intention circle this week. Those ladies know just how to motivate me to move from dreaming to doing. I walk away each month feeling so energized.
4) Yesterday, I listened in as Ryder made monster noises and Tru giggled like crazy. Roar, giggle, roar, giggle. Music to my ears, those belly laughs are!
5) I caught up on some films this week. Yes, we’re about a year late, but Brad and I finally saw The Help
featuring Dr. Wayne Dyer and Portia de Rossi; totally recommend it for anyone feeling stuck in the muck. Oh! And that reminds me – I read Wayne’s new children’s book, I AM, and we both loved it!
Gosh, it continues to feel so good to create this little gratitude list at the end of each week. I’d love for you to join in! Share your own bliss list in the comment section or via your own blog. You can participate in the link party below through Sunday at midnight central.

Hi Liv,
Happy for you that Ryder is getting better. Thanks for your prompt and contribution, it’s always a pleasure to stop by and let the gratitude in.
Happy weekend and Easter.
Cheers from France.
Happy Friday! Just finished lunch with a dear friend and caught up on vacation fun and life in general. Always great to connect with someone who has know you for 30 years!! Very special and I am very lucky! Looking forward to Easter and celebrating my Mom’s birthday with our family. Lots of fun things on the to list for spring. Think good thoughts.
I’ve been wanting to see The Help – haven’t yet. Have a great Easter.
Glad to hear your week went so well!I love the idea of the intention circle, what a great idea. Cant post this week:( but will be joining you again next week. Still feeling lots of Bliss!! x
Thanks for the lovely pic of Ryder being brave. Good luck with your new Etsy shop!
My list for April 7:
1) We got to spend four glorious days with our Los Angeles kids and grandkids.
2) 15-month-old Tecún is in constant motion but loves to sit on my lap for story time and give us all goodnight kisses.
3) Kindergartner Adila, who speaks English and Spanish and is beginning to read and write both, composed a list of things to do with her grandparents (“Jido” and “Sitto” in Lebanese Arabic) during our visit last week. A few examples:
–Rydin my bic wit Gitow
–Rolrscat wit Sitow
–Gowen to the siyisscenr [we had to ask her to translate that one: Going to the Science Center]
4) So far none of our flowers and perennials up a month early have been frosted by the recent cold weather in Chicago.
5) Thursday night we picked up our first completely new car in about 25 years: a silver Subaru Outback.
6) Our daughter and a bunch of her friends are coming here for Easter dinner.
Hi Liv – just catching up on my blog reading and read about Ryder’s surgery. So happy all went well for him and his mommy : )
Such a wonderful week! I’m so glad Ryder is doing so well, a huge congrats on hiring an assistant, The Shift is amazing (I think I’ve watched it a dozen times), and I must find out about this Intention Circle you mention–sounds like a great idea! Have a lovely, blissful week!! xx
