Terrific Tuesday! Sweet Pleasures!




Today's Inspiration: This Tuesday has been all about savoring simple pleasures for me. Drinking some gingerale with dinner not because I had to or I felt sick, but because I wanted to, it was cold, crisp and refreshing on a warm early spring weather day. A long shower with all my favorite pampering bath products. And a frozen treat, just because.

It was also a great mail day, and remember butterflies, when I have a great mail day, YOU do too! Just a little teaser on some neat stuff coming for our annual Mother's Day Buying Guide! The stuff that arrived today falls in our 'Traveling Mama' category, and you are going to LOVE what we have in store! (HINT: It's a brand we work with often on Ascending Butterfly, and they were in last year's buying guide as well). This promotion is geared toward moms traveling with style who like to travel in style!

What is your Terrific Tuesday tale Butterfly?

Tuesday, October 20, 2009 - Today's Words of Inspiration and THREE giveaways!



Brown Eyed Girl

Well my eyes are actually hazel (with dreamy specs of green and gold in them) they are not brown at all, but when  thinking of Tuesday and what words of wisdom to share, The song "Brown Eyed Girl" by Van Morisson came on the radio, and I immediately sang along:

                     Whatever happened to Tuesday and so slow
                     Going down to the old mine
                     With a transistor radio
                     Standing in the sunlight laughing
                      Hiding behind a rainbow's wall
                     Slipping and a sliding
                      All along the waterfall
                      With you, my brown eyed girl
                      Your, my brown eyed girl

While the rainbow's wall in my reality is the park, and the transistor was actually a boom box for me, and the brown eyed girl was really a super tall brown eyed boy, the song brings up great memories! Who is your 'Brown Eyed Girl? Who is Your Brown Eyed Boy? (or maybe blue eyed or green eyed!)

Who is the person you flash back to in your mind when you think of being young, happy and carefree? Is he or she still a part of your life? Remember those days, those people and places that let you truly be yourself? Not the person your boss sees, the person your mom sees, the person your siblings see, the true you, the silly one, the one who likes to laugh and dance, the one who actually like wriggling their toes in sand or between blades of grass.

I for one, miss that place, that time and that person, don't you? Today readers I challenge you to find time to slow down this Tuesday. Re*connect with your Brown Eyed Boy/Girl. Maybe that person has changed and that's OK too, just spend some time with the one person who truly lets you be you today. And don't forget to let them do the same.

Use 'Today's Words of Inspiration' as a breathing meditation to still your mind, quiet your thoughts and bring in positive energy. As you inhale bring in only positive energy by saying in your mind, I breathe in positive energy (or you can say creative energy if that is what you wish to create more of) and as you exhale, Affirm out loud today 'I surround myself with those who appreciate the REAL me.'

Spend some time each day enjoying focused breathing AND soul guided meditative visualization, in doing so, you can bring about amazing, profound and powerful changes in your life.

Visualize yourself manifesting something unique, guided by universal forces that emerge spontaneously from within your soul. Do this at least twice today and see how by taking a moment away from the hectic pace and breathing in positive energy and affirming what you wish to create, your thinking will become different.

Remember, attitude really does determine altitude.

Tuesday, September 29, 2009 - Today's Words of Inspiration and TWO giveaways!




Which of these two are you celebrating?

Today there are two celebrations on the calendar.

1 - Michaelmas - (Also Called Michaelmas Day) -

a) A Christian feast observed in honor of the archangel Michael.

b) September 29, the day on which this feast is observed.

Michael (according to Wikipedia) - is an archangel in Jewish, Christian and Islamic tradition. He is viewed as the field commander of the Army of God. He is mentioned by name in the Book of Daniel,  the Book of Jude and the Book of Revelation. In the book of Daniel, Michael appears as "one of the chief princes" who in Daniel's vision comes to the angel Gabriel's aid in his contest with the angel of Persia (Dobiel), and is also described there as the advocate of Israel and "great prince who stands up for the children of your [Daniel's] people".

The Talmudic tradition rendered Michael's name as meaning "who is like El?", - so Michael could consequently mean "One who is like God." But its being a question is alternatively understood as a rhetorical question, implying that no one is like God.

Much of the late Midrashic detail about Michael was transmitted to Christianity through the Book of Enoch, whence it was taken up and further elaborated. In late medieval Christianity, Michael, together with Saint George, became the patron saint of chivalry, and of the first chivalric order of France, the Order of Saint Michael of 1469. In the British honours system, a chivalric order founded in 1818 is also named for these two saints, the Order of St Michael and St George. St Michael is also considered in many Christian circles as the patron saint of the warrior. Police officers and soldiers, particularly paratroopers and fighter pilots, regard him as their patron. He is also a patron of Germany and of the City of Brussels.

Roman Catholics refer to him as Saint Michael the Archangel and also simply as Saint Michael. Orthodox Christians refer to him as the Taxiarch Archangel Michael or simply Archangel Michael. The New Thought Movement refers to Michael as Christ Michael.

Many chose to light a red prayer candle in his honor on this day. (I am among them!)

2 - Confucius Day -

When : Always September 29th

Confucius Day honors one of the world's greatest philosophers. Born in China on October 18, 551 B.C., Confucius is one of the earliest, and perhaps the the first great philosopher. He was also a teacher, a scholar, and a politician. He gave the world many teachings, and gave the world 499 famous sayings.

Celebrate Confucius Day by learning more about this ancient philosopher, and read some of his teachings and sayings.

Note: Over the years, many comical and humorous sayings have been created and referenced as sayings of Confucius, usually titled "Confucius Says". As a rule of thumb, if the saying is humorous, chances are it is not a true saying by this great scholar.

In this economy one of his standout sayings is:

'He who will not economize will have to agonize."  ~ Confucius

Will you be celebrating Michaelmas or Confucius Day? What is your favorite Confucius saying?

Use 'Today's Words of Inspiration' as a breathing meditation to still your mind, quiet your thoughts and bring in positive energy. As you inhale bring in only positive energy by saying in your mind, I breathe in positive energy (or you can say creative energy if that is what you wish to create more of) and as you exhale, Affirm out loud today 'I embrace my inner confucius and make my own words to live by.'

Spend some time each day enjoying focused breathing AND soul guided meditative visualization, in doing so, you can bring about amazing, profound and powerful changes in your life.

Visualize yourself manifesting something unique, guided by universal forces that emerge spontaneously from within your soul. Do this at least twice today and see how by taking a moment away from the hectic pace and breathing in positive energy and affirming what you wish to create, your thinking will become different.

Remember, attitude really does determine altitude.

Don't let your possessions possess you

How do you measure worth? How much do you tie in what and how much you own, to how much you are worth? It's a tendency many people fall victim to. Your value is not in what you own, or how much of it you have. Your value is in what you give, what you share, the talents you possess that no one else does. The friendships you cultivate. The family who love you. The pets who wait eagerly by the window until you come home.

Do something today that reminds you just how much you are worth. Do something today to remind those who mean the most to you, just how much they are worth!

Use 'Today's Words of Inspiration' as a breathing meditation to still your mind, quiet your thoughts and bring in positive energy. As you inhale bring in only positive energy by saying in your mind, I breathe in positive energy (or you can say creative energy if that is what you wish to create more of) and as you exhale, Affirm out loud today 'I will remind those that I love just how much they are worth to me.'

Spend some time each day enjoying focused breathing AND soul guided meditative visualization, in doing so, you can bring about amazing, profound and powerful changes in your life.

Visualize yourself manifesting something unique, guided by universal forces that emerge spontaneously from within your soul. Do this at least twice today and see how by taking a moment away from the hectic pace and breathing in positive energy and affirming what you wish to create, your thinking will become different.

Remember, attitude really does determine altitude.

Post Labor Day - Don't get 'sucked' in

Ascending Butterfly hopes you had an incredible Labor Day weekend! I've been having fun catching up with Labor Day Photos of friends, family and readers on Facebook! Feel free to post your links here!

It's probably going to take a lot of coffee for many of us to face our day today! Definitely understandable. It's going to be really easy to get 'sucked' in today, with emails to sort through, voicemails to return, and an inbox that resembles a small mountain. Don't. Don't let your day overwhelm you. You will set back all the progress you have been making here by focusing your breathing and practicing meditative visualization.

Start your day in focused breathing, (and not to leave out religion, this can be done in addition to your choice of prayer, or chanting for our Buddhist friends!) it will naturally help you to pace yourself. I for one plan to take active and focused 'energy breathing breaks' at least 3 times today. I fear if I don't, the ever increasing action list will swallow me whole.

Spend some time each day enjoying focused breathing AND soul guided meditative visualization, in doing so, you can bring about amazing, profound and powerful changes in your life.

Use 'Today's Words of Inspiration' as a breathing meditation to still your mind, quiet your thoughts and bring in positive energy. As you inhale bring in only positive energy by saying in your mind, I breathe in positive energy (or you can say creative energy if that is what you wish to create more of) and as you exhale, Affirm out loud today 'I am the master of my schedule and it's pace.'

Visualize yourself manifesting something unique, guided by universal forces that emerge spontaneously from within your soul. Do this at least twice today and see how by taking a moment away from the hectic pace and breathing in positive energy and affirming what you wish to create, your thinking will become different.

Remember, attitude really does determine altitude.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
As I've probably already mentioned, I have a hard time sitting still, so I thought I'd explore that today. I came across this quote:

"There is More to Life than Increasing it's Speed." By Mahatma Gandi

I need to learn to slow down and enjoy the ride more. I think most people do. We get so focused on where we want to be that we forget to enjoy where we are. So today, slow down, enjoy the ride and stop worrying about 'what's next'. Don't rush to tick off another thing from your to-do list, save one for tomorrow, trust me, it will still be there!

Use 'Today's Words of Inspiration' as a breathing meditation to still your mind, quiet your thoughts and bring in positive energy. As you inhale bring in only positive energy by saying in your mind, I breathe in positive energy (or you can say creative energy if that is what you wish to create more of) and as you exhale, Affirm out loud today 'I slow my pace enough today to enjoy the journey.'

Visualize yourself manifesting something unique, guided by universal forces that emerge spontaneously from within your soul. Do this at least twice today and see how by taking a moment away from the hectic pace and breathing in positive energy and affirming what you wish to create, your thinking will become different.

Let's Keep making our vocabulary shorter this week!

We are going to continue working on making our vocabulary shorter this week. Yes shorter. Let's remove another useless word from our conversations, the word 'can't'. Another word we tend to use to express frustration, for example 'I Can't Take this Anymore', 'I Can't Stand this!'. Frustration isn't truth, the less you express it, the less you allow it to manifest in your conversations, the less you are bound to experience. Monitor your thoughts, when you feel an 'I Can't' about to burst forth, stop it, don't speak it into existence.

There is absolutely nothing in this world that you are not capable of doing. There is nothing out there you 'can't' do. Nothing.

Let's make this week about 'emotional spring cleaning'. Or is that 'emotional Fall cleaning'? Get rid of the thoughts, emotions and mindsets that are holding you back from feeling truly fulfilled.

Use 'Today's Words of Inspiration' as a breathing meditation to still your mind, quiet your thoughts and bring in positive energy. As you inhale bring in only positive energy by saying in your mind, I breathe in positive energy (or you can say creative energy if that is what you wish to create more of) and as you exhale, Affirm out loud today 'I remove the word 'can't' from my vocabulary.'

Visualize yourself manifesting something unique, guided by universal forces that emerge spontaneously from within your soul. Do this at least twice today and see how by taking a moment away from the hectic pace and breathing in positive energy and affirming what you wish to create, your thinking will become different.

Count Your Blessings

With the state of the economy, the loss of jobs everywhere, and debts skyrocketing, the pressure is mounting. This pressure makes it all too easy to focus on what you do not have. On what's missing. Just for today, count your blessings. And I do mean that literally. Count them. Get out your pen and paper (yes I know that's kinda retro, but go with me here) and write out 10 things you are grateful for in your life right NOW. Yes TEN things. NO LESS. You can definitely start with family and friends and work your way from there!

DO IT NOW.

I'm watching you. OK well maybe I'm not watching you because that could be creepy and 'stalkerish', but I really want you to do it. See what you do have. Acknowledge what is working. Be thankful for the 10 things on your list. That list is a lot like Willy Wonka's Golden Ticket. The more you focus on those things, and how they make your life better and how grateful you are for them, you will attract more blessings. Live in gratitude, because you will then live in abundance. Push the thoughts of what you don't have out of your mind, not just today but every day and watch your life change for the better.

Use 'Today's Words of Inspiration' as a breathing meditation to still your mind, quiet your thoughts and bring in positive energy. As you inhale bring in only positive energy by saying in your mind, I breathe in positive energy (or you can say creative energy if that is what you wish to create more of) and as you exhale, Affirm out loud today 'I live in gratitude for my 10 blessings (read them all straight off your list).' (It is very important to affirm these things out loud! It doesn't matter what time of the day you do it, just that you do it!)

Visualize yourself manifesting something unique, guided by universal forces that emerge spontaneously from within your soul. Do this at least twice today and see how by taking a moment away from the hectic pace and breathing in positive energy and affirming what you wish to create, your thinking will become different.

Remember, attitude really does determine altitude.

Purple Tuesday


In honor of our Smashbox giveaway launch, I have dubbed this 'Purple Tuesday'! I will wear Purple, and of course I'm listening to Prince's song 'Purple Rain' in the background as I write today.


Purple is the color for Fall this season, although as far I'm concerned Purple never goes out of style, it's a color I'm very fond of! I love it in it's entire shade range from lavendar to Royal. Purple has a special, almost sacred place in nature: lavender, orchid, lilac, and violet flowers are often delicate and considered precious. Because purple is derived from the mixing of a strong warm and strong cool color it has both warm and cool properties. A purple room can boost a child's imagination or an artist's creativity. Too much purple, like the color blue, could result in moodiness.


The color of mourning for widows in Thailand, purple was the favorite color of Egypt's Cleopatra. It has been traditionally associated with royalty in many cultures. Purple robes were worn by royalty and people of authority or high rank. The Purple Heart is a U.S. Military decoration given to soldiers wounded in battle.


Considering using Purple to decorate this season? Deep or bright purples suggest riches while lighter purples are more romantic and delicate. Use redder purples for a warmer color scheme or the bluer purples to cool down.


There is a lot more to color than meets the eye! Color your space today, color your world!


Use 'Today's Words of Inspiration' as a breathing meditation to still your mind, quiet your thoughts and bring in positive energy. As you inhale bring in only positive energy by saying in your mind, I breathe in positive energy (or you can say creative energy if that is what you wish to create more of) and as you exhale, Affirm out loud today 'I will add color to my life and my space.'

Visualize yourself manifesting something unique, guided by universal forces that emerge spontaneously from within your soul. Do this at least twice today and see how by taking a moment away from the hectic pace and breathing in positive energy and affirming what you wish to create, your thinking will become different.Remember, attitude really does determine altitude.

Tuesday, August 4, 2009 - Today's Words of Inspiration and TWO giveaways!





Overcome your fears? Oh YES you can!

Last night I found myself facing an unusual bout of shyness, which hadn't reared it's ugly head since childhood. It made me think that overcoming fears would be a good discussion for today!

What are YOU afraid of? What fear do you have that you need to overcome? Is it public speaking? Heights? Spiders?

I received that Nike advice last night, that we all think sounds kind of lame, "Just Do It". But it honestly was the only advice that made sense. It was the only advice that worked. And when I took it, the rest of my night went really well. There will be more to come on the specifics really soon.

Use 'Today's Words of Inspiration' as a breathing meditation to still your mind, quiet your thoughts and bring in positive energy. As you inhale bring in only positive energy by saying in your mind, I breathe in positive energy (or you can say creative energy if that is what you wish to create more of) and as you exhale, Affirm out loud today 'I can overcome any fear.'

Visualize yourself manifesting something unique, guided by universal forces that emerge spontaneously from within your soul. Do this at least twice today and see how by taking a moment away from the hectic pace and breathing in positive energy and affirming what you wish to create, your thinking will become different!
