    Thoughts on Faith

    June 12, 2018 - By 

    BACON? Nope. It’s a beautiful section of marbled stonework inside of St. Mark’s Basilica, Piazza San Marco, Venice Italy. I found myself weirdly, simultaneously awestruck & kinda grossed out by the mind-boggling level of artistry and over-the-top display of riches throughout the sacred site. Reverent & Judgemental, Humbled & Indignant, Leaning in breathlessly & achingly Repulsed. And so goes my on-again, off-again, Hot/Cold relationship with all things Religion. (It’s not you, it’s me. And maybe also a little bit you.) Religion to me always seems to feel forced, coercive, deceptive, manipulative, Dark, violent, misguided and fake. All showy and opulent…

    Pay It Forward Friday

    January 5, 2018 - By 

    Sitting on my living room couch with the front door open to welcome in the warm, fresh, Southern California air, I was settling into my afternoon routine: some social media posts, folding laundry, and cat cuddles while my lunch was being warmed in the oven. My security screen door was locked, and the way the light hits it I can see out but you can’t see in during daytime. I have a “No Soliciting” sign on it that I made myself, because my location near the park unfortunately draws LOTS of unwanted solicitors. Some of them are so pushy and…

    A Spiritual Coach’s Journey: Preach What You Practice (and vice-versa)

    December 28, 2017 - By 

    Me: Be Your Own SHEro👊🏼 Also Me: Capricorn on the cusp of Sagittarius ✌️ Still Me: Pray, Meditate, Believe, Manifest 🙏 A word for my fellow coaches: I’ve been a spiritual seeker all of my life, and was fascinated by astrology, witchcraft and the occult as a kid, even as I was going to Sunday School in a little baptist church with my bestie and her family. My parents always encouraged me to explore the world through books and research, and never forced any particular religious views on me though they both had traditional religion as part of their own…

    My Birthday Wish

    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? Hmmm… Yes, actually I do have a Wish, and every person reading this can help to make it come true. My Birthday Wish is for everyone who sees this, to do one “random act of kindness” today.

    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…

    Michelle Lewis The Blessings Butterfly Appears on the Money Mantra Podcast

    August 16, 2017 - By 

    At the beginning of the year (maybe it was the end of last year??) I was invited to speak as a guest on the new Money Mantra podcast. It was my first podcast interview, and I was nervous about what I would share and how I would sound and all of that insecure stuff that comes with allowing some vulnerability into your life. Mostly, though, I was excited!  I was excited for the opportunity to share a little sliver of my expertise, my passion, and my story with a wider audience and get the message of Self Love and Healing…

    Shedding My Cocoon

    Friends, I am writing to you to share some changes I am making in my life and my business that I am excited about, even though there is also some sadness and a little bit of fear around them. Like a caterpillar making the transition to a butterfly, it involves leaving behind part of me so I can spread my wings and grow further into my beautiful purpose. I look forward to sharing this transformation with you.As part of this transition, the time has come for me to close down my first signature program, The Cocoon – Empowered Transformation. I will…
