Earlier this morning, a lovely meme (Artwork credited to Emily Balivet) popped up in my news feed that made me immediately take notice. It was from a challenge originally posted in the (amazing) Wild Woman Sisterhood‘s Facebook page and it looked like this: I am Intrigued. This idea of loving my body still feels very new and foreign and a tiny bit uncomfortable to me… a.k.a., PERFECT! And so, here it is. A Love Letter to My Body: Dear Body, I hope this isn’t too weird or uncomfortable for you, but I need to tell you a few things today.…

Thank you to my lovely readers for participating in the 31 Days of Blessings that just concluded yesterday. I’d like to invite you to visit my page on Facebook to share your own blessings and encouragements, and let me know if there is anything you’d like me to send prayers, blessings, or healing thoughts for in your life today. I will be transitioning to a weekly blog post while I get back to work on some upcoming projects. The theme continues to be Peace & Love, and I will be adding some empowering mantras as well. Meanwhile, please enjoy this…

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 #30: I am Free “I am no bird; and no net ensnares me: I am a free human being with an independent will.” ― Charlotte Brontë I AM FREE! I am Free from anyone’s control over me. I am Free from all unhealthy relationships that once defined me. I am Free from my old addictions, and I am Free from my old unhealthy behaviors. I am Free from the old beliefs that limited me, that made me feel unworthy or incapable. I am Free to think, Free to speak, Free to love, Free to live my life exactly as…

Blessing #29: I am Honest “It’s discouraging to think how many people are shocked by honesty and how few by deceit.” ― Noël Coward When did being honest and truthful become such a rare bird? While I don’t consider myself to be one of those “brutally honest” people (mainly because I am not comfy with the “brutal” part) I do value honesty in myself and in the people I allow into my life. I do not want to be lied to, and I do not like to lie to anyone either. If you ask me to tell you the truth…

Blessing #28: I am Wealthy “Money is only a tool. It will take you wherever you wish, but it will not replace you as the driver.” ― Ayn Rand Wealth is commonly described as the abundance of valuable resources or valuable material possessions. But what does it really mean to be wealthy? Can you have wealth in some areas but not in others and still be considered wealthy? Are you wealthy enough, and do you- or can you- know it when you are? “Wealth consists not in having great possessions, but in having few wants.” ― Epictetus In my travels…

Blessing #27: I am Successful “Whatever the mind can conceive and believe, it can achieve.” ― Napoleon Hill What does it mean to be successful? It is in dreaming, it is in desiring, it is in accomplishing the things that we set out to do. It is in trusting that one crazy calling of our heart and following it along an obstacle-filled path, down a few rabbit holes, into a brick wall or two or three and then ultimately to the place where we can quietly whisper, “I did it!” “Our greatest glory is not in never falling, but in…
