MANTRAS

I AM STILL.

I AM GRATEFUL FOR ALL THAT I HAVE.

I CHOOSE PEACE.

I TRUST IN THE PRESENT.

I RELEASE THE PAST.

I AM HAPPY FOR OTHERS.

THIS IS THE MOMENT TO BEGIN.

I FORGIVE MYSELF.

I GIVE MYSELF PERMISSION TO BE HAPPY.

I LOVE WHO I AM TODAY.

I AM POWERFUL.

I AM CONFIDENT.

I AM BRAVER THAN I THINK.

I AM BLESSED.

I AM LOVEABLE.

I AM LOVED.

I AM ENOUGH.

PERSONAL MANTRAS FOR THE LETTER “M”

Since personal mantras are “personal” affirmations, I found a few that appealed to my own senses. I listed them in a specific and progressive order, and I’m happy that I did that because the final mantra is such a climactic way to end it. In fact, I think that this final mantra, by itself, is extremely powerful and should be repeated daily.

I AM ENOUGH.

The happiness of your life depends upon the quality of your thoughts: therefore, guard accordingly, and take care that you entertain no notions unsuitable to virtue and reasonable nature.

ABOUT THE IMAGE

The graphic art that I created is meant to mimic the sound of the mantras as they echo through your mind while you read them. Being born in (and a lover of) the 60s, I still equate tie-dye and psychedelics with mantras and meditation. Hopefully that explains the 60’s counterculture effect.

Thank you for joining me for the letter “M” in my series Life: From A to Z. I hope you found something useful and/or enjoyable here!

Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it.

Blog and Butterfly

Not to be confused with Heart’s song of the 70’s, Dog and Butterfly.

Continuing The Alphabet Game, my ongoing series about the things that I love—from A to Z—today I’m on the Bold & the Beautiful letter B:

Blogging and Butterflies

I’ll skip the details about blogging (for now); you all know how awesome it is to blog. As for butterflies, they’re a bit like the ocean, lightning, sunsets, rainbows, and other wonders of nature—they’re beautiful in photographs, but seeing them with your own eyes is simply magical.

I mentioned before that it was time I started planning some things. Well, I checked into where these beauties can be found, and The Coronado Butterfly Preserve is a two hour drive up the coast.

According to their site, the best time to visit is between November and February—with peak viewing in December & January—just in time for my winter break. So… it looks like I’ve got some plans to make!

Of course, this all circles back to my love of blogging; I’ll have an interesting story to tell, and (hopefully) some amazing butterfly images to share. I’ll keep you all posted on this one.

Until later, Peace & Love!
