Mantra: Be Here Now My friend Mikey and I used to share the phrase “be here now” with each other as a gentle reminder to focus on the Now instead of getting swept up in rehashing the Past, or paralyzed by fearing the what-if’s of the Future. Just Be Present. Just Be Here Now. If even for just that moment of looking at a text message sent from a friend, we could push pause and put the chaos at bay, no matter where we were at or what was going on around us. And if I recall well, there was…

I Am Positive! I love to fill my heart and mind with positive thoughts, images of hope, and inspiring stories of courage & strength. Taking in little pops of positivity throughout my day fuels me, helps me to stay my course and enjoy my journey. I find that with a positive frame of mind, I am more engaged with the world around me and I am better able to notice and respond to seen & felt needs in a way that ripples out blessing and love. Some days, however, I run into some reeeeallllly nasty roadblocks, and like Superman touching…

Mantra: I like to eat, so I choose nourishing meals that satisfy me! Here’s a tasty little something I whipped up in the kitchen that makes a nice light meal or a hearty side dish: Brussels Sprouts & Bacon. It was filling, sweet, crunchy, savory, easy-peasy and super satisfying. I don’t really measure stuff, I just kind of play with it- so the measurements are more guesstimate than fact. I also don’t actually count calories, but if you’re into that then this is pretty low-cal. You can always substitute margarine for the butter and leave out the bacon, if that…

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.…

“I am Strong. Each and Every Experience has made me a little bit stronger.” ~The Blessings Butterfly This #MondayMantra Flashback includes an awesome photo, a terrible font (yes that is PAPYRUS. I am sorry!), and a powerful reminder of where I am and where I came from. This one was first published back in October 2015, and a timely nod to strength within.
