The Self-Care Sessions: Part 5- DEAR FEAR

February 20, 2018 - By The Blessings Butterfly

Next in my series of gentle meditations, I talk with Fear. “Dear Fear, Thank You for always trying to protect me. Please forgive me for giving you too much power. I have heard you, and now you may go. I will call you back when I need you. I love you.” Fear has an important place in our lives, but that place does not include having total control over us. Fear deserves a seat at the table. Fear is allowed to come along with you on your journey- it’s coming anyway so welcome it in a healthy way! Fear, given…

#MondayMantra My Anger Reveals My Fear

June 5, 2017 - By The Blessings Butterfly

Today’s Monday Mantra is a little different and has more of a teaching element to it than what I typically share. I hope it is helpful to you! This weekend I had a few encounters with Anger, and it was not too pretty. I think it is fair to say that I have always had a low tolerance for bullshit and a strong sense of justice, so whenever something or someone violates my perceived code of Right vs. Wrong, I feel intensely activated. This has not always served me well in the heat of the moment, but it sure has…

#MondayMantra In Full Color

September 12, 2016 - By The Blessings Butterfly

It’s hard to imagine a time when technology only allowed for broadcasting images in black & white. Like Dorothy waking up in the Land of Oz, a wonderful and magical place where anything is possible, so too can we explore what it means to follow our heart’s desire and discover some amazing things along the way: Courage, Wisdom, and Love. How strange then is it when we choose to hide our true colors and live a muted, toned down, restricted life? How much more empowered would we be to face our fears and follow our hearts anyway? Today, I want…

#MondayMantra YES I Freaking Can!

August 1, 2016 - By The Blessings Butterfly

I may be The Blessings Butterfly and love to share the bright side of things, but even I get scared sometimes. Yesterday I was overwhelmed by a nasty case of fear and self-doubt. My ego was so scared, so intimidated by the BIG goals that I’ve set that it became downright ugly. I felt that old familiar panic rising in my chest, my eyes wide and filled with tears, my speech jumbled and angry and peppered with swear words. Oh, did I forget to mention that I was sitting in a restaurant at dinner with my boyfriend at the time…

#MondayMantra I Face My Fears & Follow My Dreams

May 30, 2016 - By The Blessings Butterfly

We all have things that freak us out, and things that scare the sh*t out of us…especially when we are following our dreams. So many “what if’s” that can paralyze us from pursuing the life that we want. Today’s mantra is a powerful reminder that we can move forward even in the face of fear! Your dreams are worth chasing. ❤️

#MondayMantra Face My Fears & Kick Ass

March 21, 2016 - By The Blessings Butterfly

I’m facing down one of the scariest weeks of my life, or so it feels like. I’m launching my new program next week, and it’s down to the last few days to finish shooting and editing videos, being completely real and raw and vulnerable in them. My face. My body. My voice. My message. The voice of self-doubt has been nagging and trying to sideline me for days, the butterflies in my belly feel more like dragons, and procrastinating seems like a viable option. But not today. Today, I will face my fears- of rejection, of harsh criticism, of failure- and…

The Twenty-Fourth Blessing: Courage

September 24, 2015 - By The Blessings Butterfly

Blessing #24: I am Courageous “Above all, be the heroine of your life, not the victim.” ― Nora Ephron When I was a child, my mother always used to tell me that I was fearless. I think it really freaked her out, but she also admired that quality in me. My boldness carried over into my teen years, but when I first moved out of the house to try and start my own life, I lost that. Or rather, it was (temporarily) taken from me by the hands of my abuser. There came a point in time when I decided…
