The Betterment Network Mission

The mission of THE BETTERMENT NETWORK is to connect and support members on their journey to a better life.

The mission statement above reflects the goals of The Betterment Network. When I was first enlightened to the Law of Attraction in The Secret by Rhonda Byrne, I was so excited- I tried to share with family and friends. But no one I knew personally was interested in my profound discovery.

What I wanted was a network of friends that I could lean on and offer support to in attaining a life full of positive energy, gratitude and being connected to source. The Betterment Network was created so like minded people could get together to support one another in our journey.

This blog is the foundation of The Betterment Network but we also have a greater presence on Facebook and Twitter. We truly value comments, feedback, suggestions and ideas. Please join The Betterment Network and let us know how we can support you on a journey to an amazing life. You can also email me at bettermentnetwork@gmail.com

NEW - Also on Facebook, we now have a group that allows for interaction among followers. Post questions, offer tips and share inspiration. Look for The Betterment Network Gratitude Journal

Gratitude Reflection - What Sounds Do You Love

 


 

 

 It's a new day, with new things to be grateful for. If you are reading this, then you have the ability to see. You also have the ability to read, formulate words and understand what those words mean. Hopefully you also have the ability to hear. Last night while TRYING to fall asleep, I laid there contemplating my top 5 sounds. 


Most would say things like the sound of their child or spouse saying, "I Love You", a babbling brook or birds singing outside your window, but I went for the sounds a bit different than the usual. Here are some of the sounds I love - they take me back to childhood, a simpler time or a recurring sound I look forward to daily or seasonally. 


  1. The sound of my skates cutting across the ice as I try to stay upright on wobbly feet. Hardly a professional ice skimming sound, but still a sound I love. The booms the ice makes under you is also exciting and horrifying at the same time. (if on a lake or pond- esp. since I fell thru the ice once and was saved by my family doctor. Thank you Dr. Richards! 
  2. Leaves falling from the trees after a slight breeze shakes them free in the fall. The sound of passing another vehicle on a road covered in leaves in the fall that send the leaves flying in all directions is also a sound I love. And sometimes it's like a tunnel effect. So Great!
  3. Similar to the leaves - ice melting and falling off tree branches after an ice storm makes this tinkling sound that is one of my favorite sounds. Not only is a great sound but it is usually quite beautiful out - everything covered in white/crystal like ice sparkling in the sun after an ice storm. It's like diamonds hanging off everything. LOVELY
  4. The sound of a saddle when you are horse riding. Some call it a squeaking sound but to me it's more of a rubbing sound. Hard to describe but IYKYK
  5.  My mailbox door being closed. What can I say. I love getting mail. It's a daily surprise - will there be any packages, magazines, perhaps a business opportunity, or just a bill. As a kid - I had over 40 pen pals, thus my love for getting the mail. Now it's extremely rare to get a letter, but online shopping has filled that void (mailbox)! 

 


  Your turn - what sounds are uniquely yours that you enjoy hearing?  Whether we will ever hear that sound again or not, most of us are blessed to have heard sounds we can recall and be grateful for.
