One of the things I enjoy the most about being an entrepreneur is the seemingly magical ability to create a career that I love. After decades of working for others, always learning & growing, testing & changing, and leaping faithfully into new ventures of my own, as a Life Coach I am grateful to be rooted in work that supports me financially & emotionally, beautifully uses all of my gifts, talents, & experiences, and fits perfectly into my schedule. I get to write, create, talk, share, teach, travel, learn, encourage, inspire, and empower. I get to try and fail and…

If you haven't heard it yet, and even if you have- let this be a sign to you from the universe and beyond: Great job! You did it! You have much to be proud of! Focus on the good things. You've done good work. You've faced fears and moved forward anyway. You've peeled away another layer of your own bullshit to reveal more of your beautiful soul and true self. You are a Warrior, an Angel, a Lighthouse. Give yourself the gift of quiet reflection and spend a few moments in pure gratitude. Breathe in Peace, Love.

Do you ever find yourself more than halfway through the year and realize that you’ve got some pretty cool things to celebrate? Let me encourage you right now to pause and celebrate some of the awesome things that have already happened for you in 2017! Please feel free to share some of your wins with me in the comment section so I can send you a virtual hug and/or high five. I know that I have some good things on my Gratitude List, so I invite you to celebrate them with me too. When I first launched The Blessings Butterfly…

I'm taking a break from eating meat. Initially I thought I would just give up beef, then all red meat, then white meat and seafood. It's a decision that I had been wrestling with for a good while, and knew that I would be able to easily leave meat out of my diet when I was ready, and when my body stopped craving it. It feels really good. I still very much enjoy fresh eggs (thanks to Buffy and Ethyl, my sweet hens!) and I very much crave dairy, so I'm not ready to let those go. I'm just listening…

I took this photo of a fun directional sign on my trip to Norway earlier this year just because I thought it looked cool. 😎 Today I get to use it as the backdrop for my #mondaymantra and am struck by how TRUE this powerful affirmation is: “I have come a long way, and I am not done yet. I keep learning, I keep growing, I am stronger every day!” Sometimes we all need to lovingly remind ourselves of how far we have come, just so we can celebrate where we are starting from TODAY. You can do hard…

Loves, I’ll tell you right now that this is not an easy post to write, and you 100% do not have to read any further. My “backstory” has some gross, ugly parts to it, and maybe yours does too.The shit I’m about to share here is highly sensitive and may be painful and/or triggering, so please know that I love you and I do not wish to cause any harm. This is Me, sharing my truth. This is Me, casting a light on the darkest parts of my story. This is Me, standing up in VICTORY over the deep hurts…

This vacation week has been the perfect balance of Business + Pleasure, Friends + Lovers, Activities + Relaxing. 2 more days here in beautiful #Charlotte #NC to enjoy her summer thunderstorms, southern hospitality, fireflies, sweet tea, BBQ… and long, lazy mornings sleeping in late and cuddling with my sweetheart. I’m thankful for the life I get to live, and grateful for my many opportunities and amazing experiences. I recognize that I would not be where I am today if I had not followed my heart and taken my leaps of faith along the way, even as scary and reckless as…

Why on earth would I choose to post a no-makeup, less-than-flattering photo of myself on social media? Because being brave and learning to Love the body I live in sometimes shows up as simply allowing myself to be visible. Even when it’s scary. Even when I feel insecure. Even when I struggle with comparing my body/face/talents/_____ to someone else. Remember this, Loves, YOU are Amazing, exactly as you are. Use this powerful mantra to help you take a step out of the prison of self-shame today: “I choose to show up as my true self.” Would you like to join…

This past week has been a tough one for so many people. Whether you are reeling from the global terrors being inflicted on the innocent, or struggling with interpersonal challenges, office politics, or facing your own demons- it seems like everyone I know has been feeling overwhelmed this week in one way or another. Me too. I’m sometimes called The Positivity Queen, but even I struggle with my glittering crown from time to time. I’m tender and vulnerable, I get tired, and I sometimes really just want to camp out on my couch with my cat, a bowl of chips…
