Please forgive me for my very, very tardy reply. I've been so busy, I lost my link to this site. I would love to talk to you more about the book your writing. And thank you for visiting my website.

Week of May 30, 2010...Your Gratitude List....
It is said that you cannot simultaneously feel anger and gratitude or hatred and gratitude or fear and gratitude. In other words, the feeling of gratitude is powerful enough to dissolve every negative emotion. For this reason, our creative power always rests in our ability to experience thankfulness. And so we do our gratitude lists....Today, I am grateful for...The silence in my house as there are no televisions on.I am grateful for the fact that I had a break from, "Mommy, I'm hungry,"…See More

What does it mean to be spiritually "BRAND NEW?"
To me, it means that I allow the work to be done IN me. It means it does not matter what others do or say, only how I respond to the world around me. It means I can experience life abundantly, beautifully, fully no matter what others are doing or not doing...saying or not saying. I am brand new because I choose to see life with fresh eyes every day and not through the lens of yesterday. You...?See More

The Beginning of a New Week and a New Month...What About a New Us?
Happy Sunday Morning Butterflies,I think the theme of "newness" is the thing that's rattling around everywhere right now. At least it's what I am noticing. Around the topic of health and fitness, I'd just like to remind you that it's never, ever too late to see yourself in a brand new way. For those who have gotten the inner nudge to change something regarding health and wellness goals, please let today be THE day! Meaning, this moment is always the right moment. Too often we say tomorrow,…See More

Melinda commented on Melinda's blog post 'How do you resurrect a dead butterfly.....???'
Thank you Lori. Gosh, I haven't seen you in forever! Are you still attending UTC? I am but I generally go to the later service and not quite as often as I used to. Hope to reconnect soon.
Love,
Melinda
Melinda replied to Melinda's discussion 'Before we HAVE a book discussion, we need a BOOK to discuss!' in the group The Butterfly Book Discussion Group
Thank you, Maggie. Wow, I just read an excerpt from that book and I want it. I think that's a great suggestion. I LOVE Marianne Williamson. Her teachings are so simple AND profound.
Thanks again,
Melinda

How do you resurrect a dead butterfly...???
Very gently, I think. You can guess that it's not an actual butterfly I'm talking about but this Butterfly Circle. It has been quite a year for me and for everything I had my hands in. I started a blog recently about women reinventing themselves and I realize that has been my purpose since day one: to embrace this process of reinvention. And I suppose if a person can be reinvented, so can a website.
In the year plus since I first… Continue

If You Know What's Good For You....
If you know what's good for you....
This is not the first time you've heard that phrase, is it? Normally it is expressed by an adult who is attempting to compel a rembunctious child from continuing down an unwise path. Children are told they will stop goofing around, start doing their homework, stop playing with their food....if they know what's good for them. But what about us grown-up children? When there's no one around to insist that we do what's good for us, what do we… Continue

What is a MOM?
I've taken today to do exactly what I wanted to do. For me this usually means getting up and going to church to gather up my faith, as Don Miguel Says. I've spent most of the day on the sofa with my books, my laptop and a "Sunday Best" marathon on BET. Today, what felt motherly was giving Nick a chance to feel special, by allowing him to do something special for me. You know we usually associate being a mom with someone who (at times tirelessly) gives and supports others. Today I am reminded… Continue
