In a world where far too often there is tremendous pain, brutality, and the ugliness of senseless violence- it is ever more important to look for and find Beauty in our daily lives. Just as Light overcomes Darkness, so does True Beauty overcome Ugliness. See Beauty, Be Beauty.

I Am Positive! I love to fill my heart and mind with positive thoughts, images of hope, and inspiring stories of courage & strength. Taking in little pops of positivity throughout my day fuels me, helps me to stay my course and enjoy my journey. I find that with a positive frame of mind, I am more engaged with the world around me and I am better able to notice and respond to seen & felt needs in a way that ripples out blessing and love. Some days, however, I run into some reeeeallllly nasty roadblocks, and like Superman touching…

Blessing #31: I Am Complete In launching The Blessings Butterfly, I initially set out to write a simple book of affirmations, meditations, blessings and encouragements that would express to the people I love the most just how much they mean to me. I chose words and thoughts and themes that would empower the handful of people I had hoped would read it. Beautifully, in the process, I came to discover a new sense of love and acceptance and joy and freedom within myself. The blessings became circular, as they poured out of my heart and flowed over me and came…

Blessing #21: I am Creative Creativity by its very nature is expressed in many different forms. Sometimes we think and say that we are not creative. But that is simply not so! Too often, people mistakenly believe that if they are not especially gifted or mastered in the traditional art forms then they are not creative. Yet Creativity by its very nature is expressed in many different forms. So what if you aren’t a professional dancer, superstar singer, musician/songwriter, couture designer, best-selling novelist, or prolific artist? This does not define or limit your ability to be creative in a thousand…

Blessing #18: I Forgive You “Not forgiving is like drinking rat poison and then waiting for the rat to die.”― Anne Lamott When I was writing this particular blessing in my book, I was actually in the middle of a very painful personal crisis. I felt angry, and hurt, and betrayed, and confused. My trust in the people involved had been shaken. I didn’t enjoy any of those feelings; but I knew that if I chose not to forgive, my own path to personal healing would be blocked. I could have made the choice to hold on to my anger…
