Today’s Miracle Moment is About About Celebrating the Harvest.
In the Northern hemisphere, it’s the fall season. The leaves are changing, the temperature is dropping, and cozy sweaters are coming out! Traditionally in North America, fall has also been the time of the harvest celebration, where farmers would celebrate and give thanks for the harvest of crops that would get them through the winter
Cultures all over the world practice the importance of celebrating and giving thanks for what we have.
At different times of year, harvest celebrations take place all over the world. These often include community festivities and gathering together to enjoy the fruits and vegetables that have been harvested. In the US and Canada, we have Thanksgiving. In Bali, Indonesia, they have a rice harvest festival which is dedicated to the rice goddess. In China, Taiwan and Vietnam, there’s the Moon Festival, where they encourage the harvest-giving light to return again in the next year. In Ghana, there’s the Yam Festival, which celebrates the first crops of yam.
It’s important that we all take time to celebrate our own individual harvest, too. So often in transformational work, it’s easy to stay focused on what you want to change or shift about yourself or your life. It can be easy to get in a constant “healing” mode and lose sight of how far you’ve come.
Living just 10% more in the Miracle Zone can bring us more happiness, joy and fulfillment in the present moment while helping us move towards our bigger miracle intentions.
We loved this idea that we can make a 10% change, because it’s totally doable. Often we have our eyes on the prize of the huge miracles we want in our lives. And while big miracles can sometimes happen quickly, they also sometimes come through slow and steady steps forward.
Just as the harvest celebration is a key part of nature’s seasons and cycles, take this time in your own personal cycle to celebrate yourself.
You can explore: How have you grown so far this year? How are you showing up differently? Maybe you’re experiencing greater peace and happiness than you did a year ago, or maybe you’ve found resilience in the face of challenges. Or maybe you can celebrate that no matter what, you keep showing up for yourself, and you’re learning and growing.
When we take time to celebrate our own personal harvest, it actually creates more to be celebrated.
Take a moment to take a deep breath into the belly. As you breathe, be grateful for how far you’ve come and how engaged you are in life. Recognize the sensations in your body that come with that celebratory feeling. As you do this, you’re telling the cellular structure in your body that all is well, and your body can memorize this feeling so that it is your regular state of being.
This week, we invite you to continue to celebrate yourself and how far you’ve come. Take yourself out for a celebration of a personal harvest time and enjoy the fruits of your labor before a new season begins.
We’d love to hear from you! In the comments below, share with us how you’ll celebrate yourself.
Celebrating that I am feeling healthy and living with my full energy back after my health issues over the past two years. On vacation at the beach for two weeks and celebrating with a luncheon with my friend Deborah at the Breakers Resort.

Celebrating with a friend going with n road trip to a spa and overnight.
That sounds fun!
I have so much to celebrate! I have worked very hard to overcome autoimmune issues and the emotional traumas that exacerbated them.
I’m finally at a point where I have reached deep healing and I’m able to use my education and training to help others.
I’ve also been able to open myself to deeper relationships and have finally found a person that I can love and trust and who loves and trusts me. He just proposed and I was able to accept so we will be getting married in 2023!
I’m 62 years old. I have worked so hard for my entire life and have earned this joy and I’m embracing it with gusto!!!
Yayyyy Debi! Congratulations!
Sweet and Glorious! Best wishes
Huge congrats Debi…. that’s wonderful news! πΊ

Congratulations Debi, way to go!!! I know how hard it is to find someone to love and trust; I’m in the middle of it all, but so much love has come pouring back to me from men and some women friends, it is amazing. So, I celebrate truly your wonderful news of your coming marriage, and I call on the Living God to bless you and your intended.
Hi Debi! This is amazing and we’re so excited for you! Congratulations! π€
I am celebrating all of the knowledge, wisdom, and experience I have gathered in life as I prepare to retire from the organization I have worked 16 years for as I embrace what the Universe now has in store for me on this next leg of my journey.
Wish you all the best Roberta on this wonderful new chapter in your life
You definitely deserve it. Best wishes on your new adventure!
Celebrating that I took step by step to study Epigenetic Healing Cycles class created by Dr. Bruce Dewe, MD NZ, in February 2021. Since taking that class and studying with Larry Green, I have overcome 35 years of not being successful at self muscle testing!! I have worked with friends and family and became certified to teach this class.
I gave my first demonstration about both topics on October 16th. I was able to do this and feel calm with zero abdominal angst!, Yesterday I sent out an invitation to five people who indicated interest in a class, with concrete dates! This has been almost two years in the making!!! This is a huge step for me and the mentoring and guiding that I was born to do!
I am celebrating by sharing here with you all.
I am a storyteller, and am celebrating by writing a story for myself about this whole experience!!!!
Just an addition of celebration! Two people have signed up for the class! I celebrated by buying a YETI tumbler with the class logo on front and back!
This is wonderful, Martha! We are rooting for you!
I am going to celebrate setting up my own business. By myself with zero support. With no one else’s advice. I started it in 2018 and going into 2023 it is flourishing. Go me!
I canβt wait to hear how everything turns out, Catherine. π
I am celebrating me taking care of my special needs son all alone.he has cp 20 years old I am 59 my cousin just gifted us a wheelchair van and I am going on my first date without him Saturday a masquerade ball nurse babysitting
We wish you the best and sending you love, Stephanie!
I am so very grateful to be part of this miraculous community and get to hear from Marci, Dr Sue and Lisa!
I feel strength surging through me as I could put my thoughts forward and have a conversation with my doctor which was really hard. Asking the hard questions came easy and it flowed from my authentic self. It was ease at the end as the light of clarity came forth!
I am so proud of myself.
Wonderful! I can feel the power surge!!!
Thank you for sharing your experience, Samita. We are always here for you.π€
Thank you for such a lovely inspiring post –
Earlier this year I was diagnosed with cervical cancer- Iβm 4 weeks out of treatment- only thing left is port removal –
This experience has taught me compassion for others and myself –
That’s amazing. We’re happy that everything is going well. We definitely learn from our challenges. Thank you for sharing. π€
I have been truly blessed with invigorating, near full recovery from a right hemorrhagic stroke I had in July 2020… blessed with caring health care professionals and therapists during the covid lockdown. Now home since February 2021, I am enjoying deeper, more compassionate relationships and appreciation for life and all it has to offer.
Retired at 64 and enrolled in several online programs, such as Year of Miracles, Hay House’s Writing Group and Kyle Gray’s Angel Team, my physical, mental, emotional and spiritual growth have evolved exponentially… learning so much and relishing a healthier body in a more organized environment. My newly developed spiritual practices are deepening my connection to my “Spirit team” and angels, whereby I can actually feel their presence daily as I offer reiki to friends and family (even their pets as needed) during my prayer time. Speaking my truth and setting boundardies has become easier now and I fully embrace focused intention setting as I witness results in the flow of synchronicities on a regular basis… so very blessed and grateful for YOM and for opportunities to join with supportive people in the unified field of like-minded loving hearts and souls committed to their “bus stop” conversations! Who knows, celebrating these experiences may even lead to a book one day…βπ₯°
Much love from Mary Lou/Ananda in New Mexico! πππ
This is so wonderful. You are a fountain of fortitude and perseverance!
This is wonderful and our hearts explode whenever we hear these thoughts from people. Thank you! π
I am celebrating the publication of my second book βThe Gift of Who I AMβ by gifting it to those who have inspired me to love and appreciate myself as a unique gift to the world. What a glorious gift that recognition that I AM WORTHY continues to be for me.
AND I celebrate that βThe Giftβs message is helping others recognize that each one of us is a uniquely gifted gift to the world, here to use our unique gifts to create a world that unfolds for the highest good of ALL! I give thanks. And so it is.
I celebrate how enPOWERing this Year of Miracles is for me! And a BIG shout out to my YOM Group 413 Miracle Sisters. Gratitude abounds.
Wonderful! Happy to have you here as well! π
I am deeply grateful for all you Marci and Sue have been sharing on your program. I feel very aligned with all your teachings coming from a feminine perspective (yin). We need more of this type of energy in the world. Thank you sisters!!!! with love Pamela Jeanne
Youβre so welcome, Pamela! π€
This was very profound for me, Thank You both so much for all that you give, do and share,
I am just about finished a 13 week program to help me get back into the work force, I am 74 and it has been a daunting process emotionally, I am scared, excited and proud of myself, last week I was offered a job and I start on Nov 4th, yesterday I got an on-call catering job and have another job prospect in the works, I am filled with gratitude. So much to give thanks for.
We are rooting for you, Erena! π€
I was traveling with my sister when we discovered a unicorn Christmas decorative thingy. We laughed so loud I thought we would be shown out of the store. I bought five of them to give away. Let the holiday preparations begin!
That must be so cute! Enjoy your holidays, Judy!
I am celebrating the harvest of my diligence in seeking out mental health practitioners, therapies, and medicines to resolve the anxiety and depression that held me captive for more than two years. I have finally been free for the last few weeks of a crippling morning dread that would last well into the day. I give thanks for this harvest of well-being.
Thank you for sharing. Glad to have you with us. π
I’m celebrating the strength and resiliency I have found to navigate through some very difficult waters. I have made it through the hardest parts and I am proud of myself for having grown, allowing me to move on with this new phase of my life. I am eternally grateful to you both through this journey!
So happy to hear this, Christine. π€
I love these miracle moments! I am celebrating that at 86 I am excited about moving forward in my efforts to bring gratitude and joy to the world through my new published book and my return to life coaching women who are in the process of deep grieving. I have experienced new life after loss and want to be part of sharing that with their discovery of their lost authentic self. Oh—the possibilities! Yes!
You’re made for great things, and this is one of them. π€
I am thankful and grateful to celebrate the ability to acknowledge my feelings and embrace my emotions with love.
Just recently I was able to return to my home where I raised my children without being sad or emotional. After my daughter passed away I was not able to do this.
So I celebrate my emotional, spiritual and mental growth.
I celebrate all the love that surrounds me and the love I radiate to others β£οΈ
That is definitely something to be grateful for. π
Like many people above, this really touched home for me, too. Just this week I pulled the tarot card ‘The Wheel of Fortune’, which my deck interprets as coming to the end of one cycle of learning and about to embark upon a new one. It actually says, ‘celebrate what you have learnt in the last cycle’ and encourages to consolidate before moving on. I am doing both of these things and reaching for an executive job in a theatre company. I don’t have the exact skills or experience set, but I do have the wherewithall to combine what I have to create those skills on the job, and it will involve team work. This is an enormous leap for me: to believe in myself like this, even in the face of the very unlikely, and that is the point. I’m setting the level for the next turn of the wheel, shooting straight to the top, sending a deep message of self love and high expectations to myself, which is about polar opposite to where I started out in the arts sector as a young 21 year old, almost 30 years ago. In spite of hurdles, set backs and sporadic involvement because of life, I know I’ve got the goods, and the thought of doing this makes my entire being sing. Whether I get it or not, I know I’m destined for great things because my fundamental idea of myself has dhanged. So thankful to YOM for that! Thanks Dr Sue, thanks Marci, and thanks to all of the wonderful people here who keep showing up. I love you all, truly. What amazing people you all are.
Sending positive energies your way in this new adventure of yours, Katinka! πππ
Yes, I would like to celebrate a milestone of getting online with wonderful people like DR Sue and Marci as I am back to my spiritual goals and that happened when Dr Sue went over her beginning breathing where I increased my space and energy all around and knew I was totally happy! As I later did the dishes I put on Struss waltzes and danced! The cats liked it too! May you all dance through this fall! Thia Dolce
You are surely a great dancer! Thank you for sharing.
Iβm on vacation and living a dream I wished one year ago. As you suggested I deepened the feelings of success and happiness. I plan to deepen these feelings daily per your suggestion. Iβm sure my life can only get better!!! β₯οΈ
It’s a wonderful plan, Carol! Let us know how it goes.
I am forever grateful for that little boost that my blog received from your Year of Miracles. I am now 86 years old and successfully publishing Short and Sweet Spirituality, the true experiences of synchronicity and inspiration from my lifetime. I had been concerned that “No one would know me” but I soon realized that if I put those messages of faith and manifesting out there, the Universe would carry them where they needed to go. I am so happy to see responses of appreciation when readers find encouragement for similar challenges in their own lives. Thanks Marci and Dr. Sue
Thank you for sharing, Bette! π€
I celebrate my new openness to love, to healing energy that translates into my herbal oil products, to the increased soulfulness, standing in the truth, and being freed from bondage to narcissists, Gratitude toward all those people who have taught me to love myself, and to be aware of people who would sabotage my growth and my spirit. Thank you to my miracle support group who have such great collective wisdom and love.
So happy to have you with us, Helaine.
