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…

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.

“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.

Earlier this morning, a lovely meme (Artwork credited to Emily Balivet) popped up in my news feed that made me immediately take notice. It was from a challenge originally posted in the (amazing) Wild Woman Sisterhood‘s Facebook page and it looked like this: I am Intrigued. This idea of loving my body still feels very new and foreign and a tiny bit uncomfortable to me… a.k.a., PERFECT! And so, here it is. 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.…

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…
