Blessing #7: I am Patient Oh, man- not gonna lie, for me this was/is one of the hardest and requires the most work. Growing up, I always seemed to have one of those “hot” tempers. I half-jokingly blamed it on my heritage and passionate blood coursing through my veins. That may or may not have some truth to it, but I don’t have a shred of scientific evidence to back it up. I do have memories of the feisty, fiery-tempered mom who raised me, though. She was a petite, beautiful ball of energy and as much a fighter for what…

Blessing #6: I am Kind to Myself If you are anything like me, you probably have an Inner Critic who is kind of a jerk sometimes. Mean. Negative. A real ball-buster! And when he/she/it starts in on you, your inner monologue becomes a stream of insults, angry accusations, shame and painful memories on instant replay.

It begs the question:…

Blessing #5: I am Healthy and I am Whole Are you ready for a radical thought?

They have incredible, inspiring stories of overcoming physical and/or mental challenges…

Not without some flaws, not perfectly polished, not without loads of mistakes along the way; but at the core of my being and in the way I choose to live my life, I am one of the Good Ones. One of the ways that I make this true is by being accountable to a few trusted souls- my own personal posse that I’ve cultivated over the years- and by staying honest & truthful with myself, and with them.

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…
