New Moon, New Beginnings

May 21, 2020 - By The Blessings Butterfly

Whew! Well Loves, this has been an interesting month, hey? We’re entering the New Moon phase, which is all about rest, introspection, and new beginnings. It has me wondering: •What does Rest look like for you right now? •What have you been learning about yourself in the past month? •What new beginnings are you preparing for? I’ll start:REST for me has been very much about allowing my body to recover from the first round of chemo. It’s looked like saying “No” or “Not Now” to everything that I can, instead of my usual recovering Type A habit of pushing myself…

Amazed and Grateful

November 18, 2018 - By The Blessings Butterfly

OMG. She’s almost ready! We took another sneak peek yesterday of our house and so much more has been done. The sweet brick motor court is completed. Exterior is 95%. And inside, oh, my… I cannot wait to share what’s going on inside. It’s Beautiful. —— I am amazed and so very grateful for the life I have, and the Joy that I am a co-creatrix of.

A Moment of Truth

January 26, 2018 - By The Blessings Butterfly

Want a peek behind the veil? Today I had a moment of truth and clarity that froze me in my tracks. My cousin Nicole and I were in the midst of recording an episode for our podcast, and something we were talking about triggered a powerful message.

I knew I would need some time to process what was happening inside me, and gave myself the immediate…

#FridayFeels: Wealth & Gratitude

November 4, 2016 - By The Blessings Butterfly

I recently shared this in a group on Facebook called Wealth, Worth, & Wisdom started by my cousin, Nicole Lewis-Keeber .

I would love to share something wonderfully abundant, if you’ll indulge me. I’ve been practicing small gratitudes whenever a tiny bit of extra or unexpected money comes my way.

#FridayFaves: Healing Your Trauma Through Meditation, Featuring Rachel John of Soul BEing

October 14, 2016 - By The Blessings Butterfly

Sometimes you come across a person who exudes such compassion, kindness, peacefulness and genuine love for others that it makes you pause and wonder: How did they get to this place? Such is the case with my friend Rachel. She and I connected online through an exercise challenge; she lives in Wales, I am in the US. The energy and support within this online group was AMAZING. Truly supportive and really beautiful! The challenge ended, but several (hundred) of us, mostly women, wanted to remain connected so Rachel soon formed a spin-off group that kept the conversations and support going.…
