Thankful

November 23, 2017 - By The Blessings Butterfly

Today, millions of Americans are gathering with loved ones to celebrate and count their blessings for our annual Thanksgiving holiday. For many, this time of year is precious; for many others, it’s extremely difficult and can be triggering of painful traumatic memories, or an amplified time of loss as we miss loved ones who have passed on. If you are one of those who struggles, be gentle with yourself today. If you are lucky enough not to feel sadness, strife, or loss today, be gentle with those around you who may be fighting an invisible battle. In all cases, allow…

My First Podcast Interview

August 16, 2017 - By Michelle Lewis

Michelle Lewis The Blessings Butterfly Appears on the Money Mantra Podcast At the beginning of the year (maybe it was the end of last year??) I was invited to speak as a guest on the new Money Mantra podcast. It was my first podcast interview, and I was nervous about what I would share and how I would sound and all of that insecure stuff that comes with allowing some vulnerability into your life. Mostly, though, I was excited! I was excited for the opportunity to share a little sliver of my expertise, my passion, and my story with a…

Shedding My Cocoon

August 13, 2017 - By Michelle Lewis

Friends, I am writing to you to share some changes I am making in my life and my business that I am excited about, even though there is also some sadness and a little bit of fear around them. Like a caterpillar making the transition to a butterfly, it involves leaving behind part of me so I can spread my wings and grow further into my beautiful purpose. I look forward to sharing this transformation with you. As part of this transition, the time has come for me to close down my first signature program, The Cocoon – Empowered Transformation. I…

Home Office: Eat Easy

August 3, 2017 - By Michelle Lewis

Feelin’ Just Peachy, thank you very much! Easy foods that fuel my hustle today for breakfast: Peaches-n-Cream Smoothie + Peaches-n-Cream Overnight Oats. I like to use vanilla almond milk for my liquid in both of these recipes. So good! Of all the many great things about working from home and owning my own businesses (making my own hours, zero commute, self-reliance, full creativity… leggings… pets…) there is one big pitfall that nobody really warns you about: you might start to eat like shit. As in, forget to eat for half the day and then look up from your project in…

The Sometimes Vegetarian

July 25, 2017 - By Michelle Lewis

I’m taking a break from eating meat. Initially I thought I would just give up beef, then all red meat, then white meat and seafood. It’s a decision that I had been wrestling with for a good while, and knew that I would be able to easily leave meat out of my diet when I was ready, and when my body stopped craving it. It feels really good. I still very much enjoy fresh eggs (thanks to Buffy and Ethyl, my sweet hens!) and I very much crave dairy, so I’m not ready to let those go. I’m just listening…

Expanding

July 14, 2017 - By Michelle Lewis

When you begin to listen to the voice inside of you- your soul, your inner wisdom, your deepest and highest self- you will find that it creates both a challenge & an opportunity. The Challenge is whether or not to ignore the calling inside of you, to play it safe, to maintain the status quo and remain neatly inside the lines. You can absolutely do this for the rest of your life, if you so choose. The Opportunity is to begin listening to the calling inside of you; to take some risks by daring to write a new story about…
