    December 22, 2017 - By 

    Loves, today is my birthday! Woohoo 🎉 I’m embarking on my 53rd turn around the Sun and I couldn’t be happier…or could I?

I believe we can send a ripple of KINDNESS around the world. Let’s do it! Here’s how: Do 1 kind thing for someone today. It can be anything! Post in the comments what your kindness was If you received kindness…

    Winter Solstice Blessing

    December 21, 2017 - By 

    The Long Winter’s Night, Winter Solstice (northern hemisphere) gifts us with the shortest amount of daylight. In this typically hectic time of year, it’s an invitation to choose to set down your stress and burdens in exchange for a little more peace, a little more quiet, a little more rest. Instead of trying to cram in MORE more more in less time, Why not shut it down a little early tonight and gift yourself with a hard reset? Enjoy a little longer glimpse of the star-filled night sky, the twinkling lights of the holidays, or even a little extra pillow…

    Inspiration: Doing Hard Things

    December 20, 2017 - By 

    Sometimes, usually when I am trying something new or stretching myself in some kind of way- I forget just how many hard things I’ve already done and am on the other side of now. It’s a powerful thing to be able to pause and briefly look back at just how very fucking far you’ve come. Summon up your inner badass, the one inside you who helped you push through and grow past those old obstacles. Remind yourself that, Yes, Love, YOU CAN DO HARD THINGS. Once you’ve taken that in, breathe deep and step forward into your new next level.…

    #MondayMantra I’m Doing the Best That I Can

    December 18, 2017 - By 

    Today’s #mondaymantra is “I am doing the best that I can.” It’s good to remind ourselves that in any situation, we are doing the best that we can. Remember to give yourself grace, encouragement, or kudos- not harsh criticism. If there is some room and desire to grow or improve, gift yourself the education or training needed, without judgment. Release the need to get down on yourself or someone else when something isn’t “perfect” 💖🦋 #theblessingsbutterfly #empowermentcoach #mantra #mantras #perfection #perfectionism #grace #encouragement #inspiration #selfimprovement #empowerment #chill

    What do you see when you look at me?

    December 14, 2017 - By 

    “Shut your face, Suzy Sunshine! What the hell do you know about real life?” When you look at me, what do you see? Do you see: Confidence? Beauty? Strength? Joy? Kindness? Happiness? Positivity? A silly blonde? Yes- I am all of those, but i am so much more. To look at me now, you might never guess that I ever struggled, let alone felt pain, shame, and paralyzing fear for most of my life. From early childhood, i suffered as a victim of molestation, bullying, and abuse. It played as a recurring theme throughout my teens, and later manifested as…

    #MondayMantra Create Your Own Magic

    December 11, 2017 - By 

    The ancient alchemists were always searching for ways to create gold, cure diseases, and harness eternal life. They were all about the science of making magic. Today, we discover gold in our deepest relationships, cure ourselves through healing the soul’s wounds, and embrace eternity by seeing the pure, beautiful truth of our essence. We are the modern-day alchemists. We gave up trying to fit in, because we were born to belong amongst the dreamers and the doers. We shine light on our dark places and banish their shame with our love. We heal our hearts, and we send a ripple…

    Thankful

    November 23, 2017 - By 

    Today, millions of Americans are gathering with loved ones to celebrate and count their blessings for our annual Thanksgiving holiday. For many, this time of year is precious; for many others, it’s extremely difficult and can be triggering of painful traumatic memories, or an amplified time of loss as we miss loved ones who have passed on. If you are one of those who struggles, be gentle with yourself today. If you are lucky enough not to feel sadness, strife, or loss today, be gentle with those around you who may be fighting an invisible battle. In all cases, allow…
