Blossie’s Books are a quick read of simple ideas we can use to create an absolutely awesome life.
Please enjoy this excerpt from my next Blossie @work book:
Keep Cool in Hot Situations…at Work! Coming this July(-ish) 😊!
No time to read? Listen here!
On a warm, sunny morning, you drive to work, listening to your favorite music and thinking about the day ahead. Feeling focused and positive, you arrive at your job and settle in, sipping your coffee and planning the morning.
Then the phone rings, or you read your email, or someone stops by, and suddenly things take a radical turn.

You, Beautiful: Getting gorgeous from the inside out.
Coming soon!
When we say someone loves themselves, it’s not a compliment. Just the opposite. Loving yourself is being self-involved, selfish. It’s embarrassing to be described this way.

Blossie’s Books started with journal entries, just pages of scribbles and reflections about my life: a young marriage, his infidelity, then divorce. Remarriage, infertility, miscarriages, then one day, two beautiful babies.

But, beautiful someone, we can.
We can move our feet to music. We can open our mouths and make sounds to musical notes. We can put pencil to paper and draw lines. We can look through the lens of a camera, find a gritty urban scene, and capture it in a compelling composition. Read More
Today is where your book begins

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

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.
