Monday Mantra: I Am Choosing to be Joyful

August 29, 2016 - By The Blessings Butterfly

Did you know that you have tremendous power to make choices and changes in your own life? It’s true! Our minds are incredibly powerful and give us the ability to shape how we perceive and respond to our daily circumstances. Regardless of what type of person you consider yourself to be, we all get to choose our attitude. Even in challenging and difficult circumstances or seasons of life, we can choose to be joyful. This is not to say that we will never experience bad things, or feel sad sometimes, or need to take a time-out to recharge our emotional…

How I Became The Blessings Butterfly, Pt. 3: Finding My Purpose

August 11, 2016 - By The Blessings Butterfly

How My Most Desperate Prayer Was Answered When I had finally reached my true rock bottom, I had reached a place of complete and total surrender. At the young age of 29, I just wanted everything to end. I was done with life and the mess I had made of it seemed impossible to redeem. There, in my most broken moment, God/Spirit/My Higher Power answered my most desperate prayer to “take my life and recycle my soul.” When my childhood friend Robert called my parents’ house late that night, he had no idea what I was about to do. He…

How I Became The Blessings Butterfly, Pt. 2: Redemption Story

August 3, 2016 - By The Blessings Butterfly

Rock Bottom- Lower Than Low What did the “rock bottom” point of your life look like? When you found yourself there, did you think it was even possible to go any lower? I didn’t either. Honey, I was wrong. At 23 years old, I was a single mom, a college dropout, broke AF with ruined credit and in fear for my life having just escaped from my abusive ex-boyfriend/father of my child. We fled to the only safety I had ever known, my childhood home with my parents and my big brother. Unfortunately, that quiet cul-de-sac in a good neighborhood…

How I Became The Blessings Butterfly, Part 1: Do What You Gotta Do

July 27, 2016 - By The Blessings Butterfly

Permission Slip – Do What You Gotta Do “Do what you gotta do!” Grammar aside, this simple phrase has taken me through more rough places throughout my life than I care to count. It has been both humbling and empowering; it has seen tears upon tears, and it has felt true grit. Most of all, it has been my permission slip to myself to do whatever I needed to do in each situation whenever I’ve called on it. It has given me permission to be my own superhero and to push through horrible anxiety, depression and quite literally, fear for…

It’s NOT all Rainbows & Unicorns: What To Do With Those Unpleasant Feelings

June 27, 2016 - By The Blessings Butterfly

The funny thing about being known as a “happy person” or a “positive person” is that when (not IF) something triggers the ugly feelings to come up, or you are having a rough day, or you just want to hide yourself away from the rest of the world for a hot minute- you tell yourself that you can’t do that. Or maybe someone, well-meaning or otherwise, tells you that you can’t do that. Somehow, somewhere along the path you were told or shown that it’s not OK to not be OK. Somehow, somewhere along the path you were told or…

Can Certain Foods Help Reduce Pain?

April 6, 2016 - By The Blessings Butterfly

It’s no big secret that the foods we consume regularly will have an effect on our overall health. And while it’s true that some foods are obviously not helpful in supporting our bodies, there is just a LOT of information out there on the interwebs, bookshelves, and tv talk show circuit that is conflicting and confusing. Vegan. Paleo. Zone. Gluten-Free. Anti-Inflammatory. Mediterranean. Juicing. The Latest Magical Cleanse… Cue my emotional response: *$@#! It’s overwhelming, just give me a blanket and a damn cookie! So what if I just want to make some healthier food choices, and I’m not in a…

Emotional Eating & Your Inner Superhero

March 24, 2016 - By The Blessings Butterfly

Friends, emotional eating (from feeling fearful, sad, angry, or whatever overwhelming thing we are feeling) is something that can be managed and overcome when we learn how to access the tools we need. It definitely takes practice and lots of support to “retrain our brain” but it is TOTALLY doable! I’ve been actively at work on my own emotional issues and how I can respond to stress differently than I did for so many years. It’s a powerful process, not always easy- but the healing that has taken place and the strategies I’ve gained are worth the effort. I’ve learned…

Craving Good Things & The Thing About Emotional Eating

March 17, 2016 - By The Blessings Butterfly

I was recently visiting with my dear friend Susan, chatting about what we are both up to and chewing on big ideas. I was enjoying a finely crafted unsweetened green tea latte, and we were remarking about how much we actually want to eat healthy foods now (with the exception of delicious, occasional French Fries, obvi) when something she said struck me like a bolt of lightning: “Bodies don’t crave junk food, emotions do.” Isn’t that just the absolute truth? Think about it- when you are depressed, sad, upset, angry, lonely- what do you reach for for comfort? A stiff…
