Just getting started

Today is where your book begins
The rest is still unwritten.

— Natasha Bedingfield

The theme I have for you this month is “Just getting started” — and beautiful someone, we SO are, in every way.

So what if today is the day the everything changes for you? What if today you realize that you are braver than you know, stronger than you think, and more valuable than you’ve ever let yourself believe?

Because nothing in Braving It is out of reach for us. It may seem that way because our brave has been hiding behind years of conditioning and tons of clutter that we’re having trouble reaching around. But once we clear out the bad memories, unhealthy relationships, preconceived ideas of what and who we should be and are capable of…we can fill that space instead with honest, courageous choices.

Invite joy: Yes Changes Everything!

Yes Changes Everything!Picture a buffet filled with freshly-made food: crisp veggies, grilled chicken and fish, salad, and whole grain bread, but also creamy pasta salads, saucy wings, fried everything, and buttery garlic bread. Self-serve! We get to spoon whatever we want onto our plates. We’re choosing what we want, what we say yes to.

This is life itself, beautiful someone. When we say yes to something, what we’re really saying is, “I’m going to let that in,” whether that’s mouth food, brain food (thoughts, information, advice, inspiration), or whole body food (the experiences that shape our lives and who we become)…all of which we “consume.”

Saying yes to anything, including ideas, relationships, opinions, jobs, and even vacation plans is saying, “I believe this is worthy of space in my one precious head, heart, and body. I invite it in.” Read More

Please enjoy this excerpt from one of the latest Blossie@work book:
Blue Skies Ahead!

 

Positive expectation is an empowering habit more likely to help us create career or business breakthroughs for ourselves than any education or experience. It’s a way of working built on the determination to create a job we love or a business of our own, rather than have one dropped on us and shaped by circumstances.

Beautiful someone, when we work with a sense of positive expectation — the belief that not only is a positive outcome possible, it’s just a matter of time before we create it — we grow into a special kind of invincible, impossible to knock off course… Read More

The Promise of Braving It

Enjoy this excerpt from one of Blossie’s latest: Braving It!

Imagine the joy of living true to our unique selves.

Picture…

  • Not having to apologize for who we are or what makes us different.
  • Not having to pretend — anything — so we can fit in or impress someone.
  • Not feeling guilty about what we’re not good at.
  • Knowing we’re enough as we are.
  • Being relaxed and comfortable in our bodies, behind our eyes.
  • Saying yes without fear and no without guilt.
  • Not needing the approval of other people.
  • Believing that we deserve good things to happen.
  • Believing that we deserve to be loved just for who we are.

Introducing The Sparks and Whispers Mysteries!

About five years ago, the idea for The Sparks and Whispers Mysteries started to take shape.

The stories would be aimed at children ages 8 to 12 or so…already reading on their own, but young enough to appreciate the magic of mystery. They would help children believe in hope and possibility and continue to spark that sense of wonder they’re born with, wonder that never needs to end.

As the Sparks and Whispers came from their home in Surgo to help the grownups in trouble, the children would witness a Gift and see in themselves Read More
