Choose to See the Beauty

August 17, 2018 - By The Blessings Butterfly

My simple prayer for us all today: “May you see all the Beauty today.” 💖🦋 Do you make it a point to regularly observe Beauty? Not to objectify it, but to actually see the Beauty that is in and around you, and in everyone? It’s a powerful practice of positivity that has helped me to heal some pretty deep wounds over my *many* years on the planet. Even if you have your shit together, I invite you to take time today to look and see Beauty. Celebrate it! Share it! Ugly Truth: It’s not at all hard to see the…

Body-Positive Fitness, My Top 5 Tips, & Why I Created The Cocoon

August 24, 2016 - By The Blessings Butterfly

For the past couple of years, I have been wanting- no, longing to- create a series of fitness videos for people living in bigger bodies, with a crazy twist: I don’t want you to lose a bunch of weight (unless that is something YOU want for yourself). Instead, I wanted to simply love, support, and encourage people just like me to love the body that they are already living in, and provide them with some easy action-steps to help guide them to a healthier lifestyle. I had this radical notion that I could begin to deeply, truly LOVE…

Friday Faves: Michael Powell Photography

May 20, 2016 - By The Blessings Butterfly

I’m always amazed by the incredibly gifted people in my world. Today I want to give a shout out to multi-talented photographer, musician and dear friend, Michael Powell. Holla! Michael and I became friends years ago when he was playing guitar in a mutual friend’s band (more on Josie and her current band Eye the Realist another day). We bonded over LOST, a.k.a. one of the best TV series ever. I bawled my eyes out on his couch during the Series Finale. Oh, and it was a party so there were quite a few people there watching me totally meltdown……

In the Spirit of Being Adventurous

December 9, 2015 - By The Blessings Butterfly

WARNING: This post contains SO MANY EXCLAMATION POINTS! This week I’ve been focusing on loving my adventurous spirit and letting her out to play a bit more. I chose this focus because at the end of this week… I am leaving for a special adventure with my Love, and fulfilling my life-long dream of going on a CARIBBEAN CRUISE! I will see snippets of some of the most beautiful places on earth! I will enjoy incredible food! I will dress up all fancy-schmancy (at least twice!) I will experience amazing natural highs while interacting with stingrays, zip-lining at crazy-fast speeds,…

The Thirty-First Blessing: I am Complete

October 1, 2015 - By The Blessings Butterfly

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…

The Twenty-Second Blessing: Seeing Beauty

September 22, 2015 - By The Blessings Butterfly

Blessing #22: I See Beauty All Around Me If I look for Beauty in the obvious places, I will find it. If I look for Beauty in unconventional places, still I will find it. There is Beauty in the natural world. There is Beauty in the human-made world. Life in all of its magnificent diversity has offered us more beauty than we can observe in one lifetime. The Universe and all that is within it, so vast and far beyond our limited comprehension, has offered us more beauty than we can observe in a thousand lifetimes. Yet so often we…

The Twelfth Blessing: Beauty

September 12, 2015 - By The Blessings Butterfly

Blessing #12: I am Truly Beautiful Dorothy Parker famously said, “Beauty is only skin deep, but ugly goes clean to the bone.” (Quite) a few years prior, Plato mused that “Beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder.” Is there a woman or a girl on this or any other planet who hasn’t at some point wrestled with the idea that she is, in fact, beautiful? In every age and in every culture, there are evolving and somewhat fickle standards of beauty that women have either tried to achieve or have struggled against. And don’t think that men haven’t been…
