    March 17, 2023 - By 

    Michelle Lewis – The Blessings Butterfly If you are just getting started on your witches path, you’ve probably begun hearing about the Wheel of the Year. You might even be familiar with some of the names of the different sabbats such as Samhain or Yule that make up the points on the Wheel. This article is designed as an introduction, and gives you some quick insights to help you along the way. It’s not by any means an in depth look, but a helpful beginner’s guide. The Wheel of the Year is a calendar that describes the cyclical nature of…

    A Look Inside Your Walls

    October 1, 2018 - By 

    BUILDING YOUR BEST LIFE: At the beginning of the weekend, my fiancé and I had our “open wall” walkthrough of the new house. This is the home as it looked on Friday morning, just prior to the next round of inspections. We met with our GC/Foreman and did a literal walk-through of the property, while the expert told us everything we could ever want to know about it. We were encouraged to ask questions, and found it fascinating to learn not only about the specific materials used, but why the builder is so particular about what goes into each home.…

    #MondayMantra I am Safe to Embrace Every Season of Life

    November 17, 2017 - By 

    Life is not linear, but rather it is cyclical. We observe in nature the changing seasons and experience the same. The new growth. The shining fullness. The gentle shedding. The silent slumber. Sometimes, experiencing these seasons in our lives and the lives of our loved ones comes as a transition that we may feel unprepared for; fear and sadness may suddenly overtake us in these moments of our growing pains, of our great expansion, of our letting go, of our final rest. But with faith and practice, we need not fear the changes in Life. We can completely feel them.…

    #MondayMantra I am Delighted by Life!

    January 2, 2017 - By 

    You deserve more than to “just get through it.” You deserve so much more than a mere existence. You deserve to live fully, embracing each day and savoring all that is before you. There is a Fire inside you- deep, eternal, and longing to burn with delight.  If you’ve spend the last little while keeping that flame low, give yourself permission to fan it, stoke it, and be Delighted by Life! Would you like to join my private email list? It’s where I share awesomeness with my tribe of wild & beautiful butterfly souls.

    #MondayMantra In Full Color 

    September 12, 2016 - By 

    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: I Love My Life 

    July 4, 2016 - By 

    In this special Liberty Edition (it is Independence Day here in the US) it seems fitting to me to focus once again on gratitude. I am more than grateful, actually. I love my life and I want more & more of it!  I want to enjoy and feel and dream, explore and create and love. And the magical thing is this: the happier I am with who I am, the more I truly enjoy where I’m at in life.    I’m grateful for where I am and despite any disappointment or pain, I Love My Life!

    What is the Goal?

    January 9, 2016 - By 

    This year is the year I’m focusing on transformation in my life. I’m looking to create something BIG though. Something deep. I want to go wayyyyyy beyond “lose ___ pounds blah blah blah” and instead pave a way for people of all body types -including my own- to be empowered, to feel loved, to discover their strength & true beauty. I’m not trying to be skinny again. I’m not trying to look like a supermodel or a Victoria’s Secret ad. I actually love my body as it is, but I really want to FEEL better in it. Have more flexibility,…

    The Twenty-Second Blessing: Seeing Beauty

    September 22, 2015 - By 

    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…
