MONDAY. It’s the start of a fresh new week, and more importantly the start of a fresh new day. I have lots that I want to accomplish and complete this week, but I will not be overwhelmed by it. All I have is right here, right now. And that is enough, because I Believe in Myself!

People often ask me how I “stay so strong” during the challenging times in my life. For those I’ve shared my story with (or even just some of the grisly parts), they are amazed at my strength and positive attitude. I love hearing that! What kills me though is when the conversation turns to their own strength and I hear something like this: “I’m not that strong,” or “I could never do that.” Yes, you are that strong. Yes, you can do that- and more! In the Get Through Shit Department, I’m literally no stronger or weaker than anyone else.…

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.

The blessings became circular, as they poured out of my heart and flowed over me and came…

Blessing #21: I am Creative Creativity by its very nature is expressed in many different forms. Sometimes we think and say that we are not creative. But that is simply not so!

So what if you aren’t a professional dancer, superstar singer, musician/songwriter, couture designer, best-selling novelist, or prolific artist? This does not define or limit your ability to be creative in a thousand…

Blessing #13: I am Worthy & Deserving of Good Things What are you worth? 1 million dollars? 10 million? A billion? 20 bucks? Though you may earn a wage to make a living, the transaction of money in exchange for goods & services does not determine your intrinsic value because your inherent worth is not the same thing as your net worth. If you do nothing on this planet other than show up, you are enough. Everything else you contribute is a wonderful, glorious bonus. You are worthy simply because you exist. You carry an eternal, invaluable soul within the…

Blessing #11: I Believe in Myself Self-confidence is super attractive. Respected leaders in every field, professional athletes in every sport, and great artists in every genre have something in common: the ability to believe in themselves, no matter what. It’s that self-confidence that pushes them to sharpen their skills and excel in whatever their chosen profession may be. It makes little kids and grown ups alike want to emulate them and the reason fan clubs exist. Believing in yourself doesn’t mean that you are infallible, and it doesn’t mean that you don’t need to learn new things. It does mean…
