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.…

“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.

A Love Letter to My Body: Dear Body, I hope this isn’t too weird or uncomfortable for you, but I need to tell you a few things today.…

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…

Wouldn’t it be lovely if we could just go with our natural flow every day, unfettered and unflustered by the ‘interruptions’ and changes to our comfortable routines? I think it’s incredibly important to recognize that our lives have different rhythms and patterns throughout, and upon recognizing that- simply allow ourselves to be okay with it. We aren’t robots programmed to do exactly the same thing day in and day out; rather we are organic, intricate spiritual beings interacting with one another daily. There are going to be some interruptions. There are going to be changes to our routines. There are…
