Blessing #5: I am Healthy and I am Whole Are you ready for a radical thought? Living in good health and feeling whole & complete in your own body is absolutely possible, no matter where you are at right now. It’s true! Haven’t you met people who, despite any apparent physical challenges, are quite comfortable and at ease in their body? Men and women who have a seemingly endless supply of positive energy, a magnetic personality, and a commanding presence when they enter a room? I know I have. They have incredible, inspiring stories of overcoming physical and/or mental challenges…

Blessing #4: I Am a Good Person I like to think of myself as a Good Person. Not without some flaws, not perfectly polished, not without loads of mistakes along the way; but at the core of my being and in the way I choose to live my life, I am one of the Good Ones. One of the ways that I make this true is by being accountable to a few trusted souls- my own personal posse that I’ve cultivated over the years- and by staying honest & truthful with myself, and with them. I’ve learned that being a…

CONTENT/TRIGGER WARNING: mentions of traumatic life events Blessing #3: I am Strong As I have reached this point in my life-journey, I am simply amazed at the various and difficult circumstances I’ve gone through in 5 decades. I have survived bullying, incest, sexual abuse, homelessness, domestic violence, stalking, drug addiction, alcoholism, two broken engagements, and more. So much loss, pain, and heartache. Too much for a blog! Dark places, ugly places, scary places. Heartbreaking places. Terrifying places. Some places that I thought, in the moment, I would not survive. But I did. And though I was once a victim, I…

Blessing #2: I am Grateful Years upon years ago, as wise person challenged me to find just one thing that I was grateful for, each and every day, no matter what. It was a brilliant challenge, because I am continually amazed at how many things in my life there are to be grateful for. Some things are big and obvious, while other things are more nuanced and delicate and require me to pause and look closely. But there has never been a day that I can’t find at least 1 thing. I’ve found that when I start to focus on…

Blessing #1: I am Loved What would your life look like if you realized that, no matter what, you are totally, deeply, beautifully, unconditionally loved? What would change? What would feel different? Wouldn’t all of your other relationships suddenly be so much richer, so much more balanced? Wouldn’t you have an increased capacity to give and receive Love, and not feel like you are constantly having to chase after it? Often it seems that we are conditioned to [only] look externally for such a sense of being loved. We tend to seek this through religion, through faith communities, through family…

Wouldn’t it be lovely if we could just go with our natural flow every day, unfettered and unflustered by the ‘interruptions’ and changes to our comfortable routines? I think it’s incredibly important to recognize that our lives have different rhythms and patterns throughout, and upon recognizing that- simply allow ourselves to be okay with it. We aren’t robots programmed to do exactly the same thing day in and day out; rather we are organic, intricate spiritual beings interacting with one another daily. There are going to be some interruptions. There are going to be changes to our routines. There are…
