Tuesday, June 30, 2009 - Today's Words of Inspiration

It's been an odd summer, it's been raining almost every day here. And sometimes not just raining, but pouring, storming even with the accompanying thunder and lightening show in the sky to go with it. Now I'm a light lover who loves sun and finds inspiration by the sea. I haven't had a chance to get to the ocean yet this summer and it' s certainly affecting my mood. I thought today would be a good day to focus in how we can find sources of inspiration from within.

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 find inspiration within myself and it spurs my creativity.

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.

Monday, June 29, 2009 - Today's Words of Inspiration - Unleashing your Inner Sookie Stackhouse

Obviously I was watching True Blood on HBO last night, (it's one of my *non-guilty* pleasures!) and in observing Sookie and Bill (played by Anna Paquin and Stephen Moyer), there was a great scene between them where they discuss loving each other for both the good and bad within, and how within each of us there is both good and bad. How often do we really love one another for both the good and bad within? When someone behaves in a way that is contrary to your own, do you stop loving them? Do you love them less? Let's use today's words of inspiration to focus in on how we love.


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 love without limitation'.

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 go of resentment and judgment, in order to receive your blessings.

Today, take one small but powerful step toward the life you wish to have.
Create the life you wish to have with not only positive thought, but with highly focused affirmative action!

Two new stars in the sky

Ascending Butterfly wanted to take a moment to send out heartfelt prayers to the families of both Michael Jackson and Farrah Fawcett. We pray that they are blessed with the strength they need at this difficult time. There are now 2 more stars in the sky!





6/25/2009 - Farrah Fawcett, the multiple Golden Globe and Emmy-nominated American actress best known for her role as the vivacious Jill Munroe in the 1970s television series “Charlie’s Angels,” died in a Santa Monica hospital. She was 62.


6/25/2009 - One of the world's most recognizable entertainers, Michael Jackson has died at the age of 50. Michael's album Thriller ranked number 20 on Rolling Stone magazine's 500 Greatest Albums of All Time list in 2003, and was listed by the National Association of Recording Merchandisers at number three in their Definitive 200 Albums of All Time.


This thread will be open to comments, but they will be moderated. Please be respectful of their families.

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 capable of rising to any challenge'. Yesterday I had a very frustrating experience trying to integrate new technology into my home entertainment setup. It was so frustrating that I instantly stormed off in frustration and wanted to give up. But I knew I couldn't do that. I knew that this single gal in the city did not have a 'man of the house' or a tech on call (or the budget for a tech on call!) I knew like every electronic conundrum before this, I'd have to figure it out for myself. And I did. It reminded me that I am very capable of rising to my own challenges and very competent! And so are you! Do not let your challenges frustrate you today, give yourself the patience you readily give to others and rise up to each challenge that comes your way today instead of running from them or finding ways to escape them. You'll feel that much better for it. Trust me, I did.

Today, take one small but powerful step toward the life you wish to have. Create the life you wish to have with not only positive thought, but with highly focused affirmative action!

Do this breathing meditation 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!

Clear out the clutter, the cobwebs in your mind, and the habits that are holding you back. Today decide which habit you are going to give up. Today decide to clear off one table in your home completely. Tomorrow clear off another space and give up another habit, think of how quickly you can be where you WANT to be!

FOURTH OF JULY GIVEAWAY - Today's Butterfly


**Congratulations to our winner Oceanwytch!**
Oceanwytch said "I really love Swirl, but I also
really love Pirate Nero. . .'


Ascending Butterfly is proud to join forces with Mimobot, makers of Designer USB Flash Drives for our first annual 'Fourth of July' giveaway'! Fourth of July is a time of year where many memories are created, family cookouts/barbecues, picnics, fireworks. Tons of wonderful photo opps can sometimes overload our cameras and our hard drives. It is important to have a safe place outside of your computer to back up files and let's face it we've all seen the commercial where someone has to delete a photo to create space for an impromptu photo they want to take.

Nothing is better than peace of mind, and having a Flash Drive is just that. Peace of Mind.

I am a confirmed computer geek and love all things related to the computer, even the peripherals that hang out of it, everything that plugs into it, well you get it.... To totally affirm my quirky but cute geekiness, I have finally found a product that combines my love for all things computer, provides me peace of mind (receiving it reminded me to immediately back up my photo files!), and is just plain awesome! I received the 4 GB Star Wars Mimobot Series 3 Designer USB Flash drive. That is enough flashy goodness to back up approximately 3500 photos!

About Mimoco:

Since 2005, Boston-based design house Mimoco has fused the art of contemporary characters with the functionality of personal data storage devices making its name known in both the pop-culture driven Art Toy underground and the savvy high-tech 'tronic world.

The distinctive character-based MIMOBOT line offers from 1GB to 8GB of flash memory storage and transport for all your finest and most precious music, docs, pics and other personal data bits and bytes.
FYI - As a San Diego Comic Con exclusive, only 500 Luke Dagobah Variants will be produced. Available at the MIMOBOT booths #2913 and #4938 at Comic Con, July 22 - 26.

ABOUT THE PRIZE:

Now for the good stuff! The winner will receive a 2 GB Star Wars Mimobot Series 3 Designer USB Flash drive! Because even Ascending Butterflies take off on National Holidays, The winner will be selected and notified on Monday, July 6, 2009. And because I know often times people take long weekends, the winner will have until Wednesday, July 8, 2009 to respond. If the winner does not respond, another winner will be selected. Winning entry must follow entry rules or another winner will be selected so please read carefully! Winners name once confirmed, will be posted on this site.

Tuesday, June 23, 2009 - Today's Butterfly

Today's Butterfly is the 'featured site of the day'. It is a site I recommend because I feel strongly Ascending Butterfly Readers will enjoy it. And hopefully benefit too!

I have to credit Today's Butterfly to the amazing Kim Komando who sent out an email teaching us ways to 'shamelessly' self promote! She recommended a site called Hyplet, http://www.hyplet.com/

Hyplet allows you to create custom banners to promote your blog, website, ebay store, you name it, you can create your own Hyplet to promote it! You can add your Hyplet to your signature file, in your email, post it in forums, and there is a toolbar you can use to add it on to your IE browser that will allow Hyplet to automatically insert your Hyplet anywhere you wish. How cool is that?!

I thought I'd share my first 'Hyplet' with you dear readers. Let me know what you think. You can leave a comment in this thread with all ideas and suggestions! Also, if you decide to create your own 'Hyplet' I'd really love to see it, please post your Hyplets in this thread!

Always remember, none of the sites I recommend in the 'Today's Butterfly' feature will ever require any credit card information (unless it's a shopping site and you decide to purchase of course!), nor will any of the sites I recommend send you spam or tons of unwanted email!

Do just one thing'off-the-beaten-path' today. Break out of your comfort zone. Try a new restaurant, take a different route to work or after work, take the long way home. After dinner take a long walk, the dishes will be there when you get back.

Do this breathing meditation 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!

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 not let outside influences rob me of my joy'. Don't let the fires that need to be put out today, rob you of your joy.

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.

Sunday, June 21, 2009: Moment of Gratitude:

Three things I am grateful for today:

- Because my Dad passed when I was very young, I honor my mom on Father's Day who became both a mom and Dad when Dad died. I cooked dinner for her, Salmon with Penne and a Lemon/Caper/Butter Sauce, YUM!

- Happy Birthday Lisa! :)

- Even though it was raining today, I just feel grateful for the slower pace that Sunday provides.

Sunday, June 21, 2009 - Happy Father's Day, The First Day of Summer and The Summer Solstice!

Happy Father's Day to all Ascending Butterfly Readers! I hope you have all done something special for your Dad. If you are a Dad I hope you are creating special memories with your families today!

Today is the 'official' first day of summer. Where do you find yourself today? Family BBQ? A Picnic? Take some time outdoors today. In fact,try to do your 'Today's Moment of Inspiration' outdoors!

Today is also the Summer Solstice, I received a great article via email from USAtoday.com - 10 great places to bask in the summer solstice, check them out here:http://www.usatoday.com/travel/destinations/10great/2009-06-18-summer-solstice_N.htm?csp=Travel

One of the places I've always wanted to spend the Summer Solstice is at the well known Archaeological Site in Mexico, the Famous Attraction in Chichen Itza. If you ever visit Chichen Itza on June 22nd, you can see the northern side of the Temple of Kukulcan fully illuminated by the sun's rays, whereas the Southern and the Westerly sides remain shaded by the temple itself. Seen from the sky, it's as if the sun has divided the temple in half, with a perfect diagonal cut!

Learn more about it here: http://www.cancun.com/Chichen-Itza/Attractions/

Wherever you find yourself today, I wish you a blessed day filled with family, friends, light and laughter.

Three things I am grateful for today:

Rock The Vote II - Help Alleviate Depression!

I am a candidate in IdeaBlob's running contest to win 10K toward helping a small business or not for profit grow, My entry is called 'Clicking Me Happy© – Alleviating Depression One Camera at a time'.

Idea Description:

Every picture tells a story, some good, some bad, but looking at the world around you behind a lens has a way of instantly changing your focus and perspective. Over 14 million Americans suffer from a debilitating disease called Depression. It cripples its victims emotionally as well as physically. While causes vary individually, and albeit so do the cures, empowering an individual to change their perspective is a difficult process, but it doesn’t have to be a costly one.

Mission Statement: Clicking Me Happy seeks to aid in the healing process and enhance a sense of overall well being by bringing the creative process of photography to depressed people across America.
What will you do if you win $10,000 for this idea?
Some of the immediate needs that would be filled with seed funding include: Digital Camera’s, Website Designer,Office Space,furniture and equipment, Computers and Printers.

We would love to introduce photography and printing technique, photo journaling, art exhibitions and down the line have photographers pair up with other not for profits or hospitals to use their new found skill set to aid the community. For example a photographer could be paired with a hospital to volunteer to take pictures of newborn babies, giving the new parents a priceless memory and the photographer a positive way to continue to enhance their skills and integrate themselves into their communities.

I would love to see this idea turn from a seed into a reality, vote here:

The direct link to my entry can be found here:http://www.brickfish.com/GoToPage.aspx?qsi=13690450

Today's Butterfly - Do you like money? Do you like Shopping? Of Course you do! I know I do! I haven't paid full price for anything in...I don't know how long! Comparison shopping is of course the best way to go. After you've found the price you want to pay, and the retailer that has a good history of quick fulfillment and good customer service, what do you want next? How about cash back just for doing what you are going to do anyway? Sounds great right?
Check out today's butterfly site of the day. I have been a member for YEARS now, I shop, I get cashback, that simple, no complications, no spam, no problems, just the way ascending butterflies like it!

You probably noticed my Twitter feed is missing, and while I miss it, I removed it, because today I was approved as an affiliate for Hay House, Inc! Hay House manages the websites of Dr. Wayne W. Dyer (www.drwaynedyer.com), Dr. Christiane Northrup (www.drnorthrup.com), Louise L.

I couldn't possibly begin to express how filled with joy and gratitude I feel. Hay House has been a great source of inspiration for me and many others on this upward journey. Daily I look for sources of inspiration and Dr. Wayne Dyer is certainly one of them, I particulary appreciate his 'Daily Inspiration' page here: http://www.drwaynedyer.com/daily-inspiration

Three things I am grateful for today:

- For all the emails sent from family and friends wishing me well on my new blog! Thank you friends I appreciate your support!

- For all the advice and encouragement that has flowed my way

- For my new Butterfly Pendant, everytime I touch it, it makes me smile! (I promise you'll see a picture of me with it on soon!) - sometimes you have to treat yourself, even if it's something small!

Tuesday, June 16, 2009 - Today's Butterfly: Your Opinions are Worth Money!




Today's Butterfly - Here is a fun way to have your opinions earn you some money! One of my favorite websites allows me to watch ads and in many cases these are BEFORE they are released to the public! You rate these ads, allowing you to let the advertiser know whether or not they work for you. By watching ads, answering questions and rating these ads you earn 'spotcash' this can be turned into a gift certificate to the retailer of your choice. You can also earn entries into daily sweepstakes for merchandise (game systems, cameras, camcorders, Digital Photo Frames and more, changes daily). You can also earn entries by playing dodgeball, memory games/challenges, and puzzle challenges, but you can only earn spotcash from watching the ads. It's fun, quick and easy and I've earned quite a number of gift cards and I also won a Nintendo Wii! Check them out here: http://tinyurl.com/d7o7pr

Three things I am grateful for:

-Finally overcoming inertia and launching my blog!

-Shelter, the severe hail storm today reminded me today of being grateful for a having a place to be that was safe and warm while the storm raged on outside.

-There was a cute baby in a store and as I walked by, she chose to share a smile just with me even though she didn't know me at all. A child's smile and laugh has to be one of the best things out there!

Today's Butterfly


Today's Butterfly is a new feature where I highlight a website or product I like. Sometimes 'Today's Butterfly' will feature a site where I earn paypal or gift cards or a survey site. I recommend them because they have all fulfilled as promised!

Monday, June 15, 2009, Today's Butterfly site: http://swagbucks.com/refer/TracyIglesias

This is one of my favorite Search and Win/Earn sites by far. I have redeemed several times with them and have received all my gift cards in a timely manner. (My personal two favorite cards to redeem for are Best Buy and Amazon, yes, I'll admit to being a tech nerd, gadget junkie and very proud of it!)

Monday, June 15, 2009: Today's Words of Inspiration

Affirm out loud today 'I am Productive and Successful' and watch how quickly obstacles run from YOU!

Welcome!


Like many, the current economic climate has caused a need for 're-invention'. I've stifled my inner writer for years now and thought it was time to let her come out and play.


I'm on a quest for inspiration, and this blog is my way sharing what I find and taking you along on my upwards journey.


I want to share ideas, sources of information and inspiration, and I'm sure there will be product reviews, videos and laughs along the way!
