YOU were created to be INSPIRED!
Today I have a question for YOU! “What gives you inspiration in your life? I know I have shared many things that inspire me, but each of you experience life in your own way and through your own understanding. YOU have your own inner wisdom, talents, dreams, hopes, aspirations, etc. that describe who you are and open you to being inspired by life. Life inspires YOU in a very special and unique way. What inspires you?
Today I also want to thank you for joining me on this journey, YOU have been a great source of inspiration and encouragement in my life: to keep writing, to see the world as a more beautiful & loving place, and to be more content with who I am. Thank you again!
I’d really love to hear about inspiration in your life! If you choose to comment know the comments can only be seen by me until I approve them. Thus, if you do not want your comment published on my blog, feel free to let me know and I’ll put it in safe keeping.
Remember YOU were made to discover inspiration! So be kind to yourself and celebrate yourself and be inspired!

Filled with Gratitude: Healthy Healing
When you say thank you, and allow yourself to be filled with gratitude, it changes your state of mind, and your worldly out-look is suddenly filled with a positive perspective. –Bella Bleue
- Your body feels this positive change as well. Even the cells in your body become energized to work towards healing, and health in a more rapid focused manner.
- You see the world as a more welcoming place, filled with acceptance and motivation.
- You become healthier each time you allow yourself to feel this gratitude. . You look and see a healthier person in the mirror.
- Your gratitude and energy surges into the relationships you have, and they too change for the better—they are healthier, more full-filling, more energized, more satisfying, more complete.
- Your moments of living become gems instead of obstacles.
- Your Life becomes a GIFT.
Take the time to feel gratitude, and see the powerful change that happens within you!

A Formula for Health
So one of the formulas for living Healthy:
Live in the Moment: In the Here and Now and
1.) Let wisdom guide you:
- choosing those things in your life that are right, just and true because these choices will lead you to have deeper more meaningful relationships with others;
- and you will have less worry about the future because you know you are living life the best way you able to.from moment to moment
2.) Lead your life with your heart and mind:
- living life the best way you can comes from deep within you. When you choose to be intentional about allowing wisdom to guide you, you are connecting to the deep truths about who you are as a human being.
- Thus, you are not denying who you are, and therefore you become healthy in your daily life.
If we are not able to be healthy within ourselves then no diet, doctor, medicine etc. will be able to really help us.
And thus, the challenge is to really deeply love yourself,
and by doing so, nothing else at any given moment, will have the power to take You away from Who you are.
Look at yourself in the mirror today and know that you are BELOVED.

I am Living!
Our children teach us that Life is worth stopping for, and worth taking notice of. -Bella Bleue
Look up into the sky; see the trees, and smile.
One of the most wonderful gifts in my life is my little boy. He has provided my life with such an amazing joy, and sense of awe. He reminds me to look at the world with wonder and appreciation. He has taught me to embrace a moment for what it is: a moment, and by doing so to find delight in being alive because I am Living.
Look under a bench and discover the earth.
I am Living! This very moment I am alive! I am grateful for this moment no matter what it brings, because I have been given this gift of Life. –Bella Bleue

Let Your Light Shine
Healing comes when you share yourself with others. When you are able to allow yourself to be seen: through your words, your actions, your smile, your creativity, your ingenuity, your inspirations, your art, your music, your dance, your song, your voice, and so much more–then you can begin to heal within yourself-because your light from within is not hidden, but Illuminated. When you extend your gifts beyond yourself your Light shines, and the world begins to heal as well.
Hear Me Long Enough to Listen
One of the greatest ways to connect to another person is to give him/her the gift of your listening ear. Every single one of us wants to be heard. We want our words to mean something to someone else, because the words we speak come from within our being. Just as you long for attention from another person, someone else longs for your attention. During my years as a chaplain, I discovered that listening, usually without saying a word, to someone’s story was most often the greatest healing gift I could offer.
When you feel listened to you are empowered to trust more deeply in the wonderful, amazing, incredible, fabulous, unique, (& so much more) person you are! -Bella Bleue
I invite you:
- To make an extra special effort to really listen to someone you care about.
- After you walk away from this experience take some time to reflect on what you learned about this person that you hadn’t noticed before AND
- Reflect on what it was like to be so fully present for another.
- If you are the one who needs to be listened to: Ask that the other person to listen
It’s amazing how when we “Hear Someone Long Enough to Listen” we are giving an incredible gift, and at the same time receiving so much in return.

Nature’s Message: Inspiration and Hope are All Around Us
When we take the time to see nature around us, we can learn deep truths about life. I live in the Northeast. The changes in the weather from one day to the next is a complete mystery this year….You never know what the day may bring. This can be true in our life too…we may wake up and expect the day to be one way, and it brings something completely different or unexpected. But when this happens, we have the choice to embrace the opportunity to be inspired by the experience or we can choose to completely miss it. This morning, I looked out my doorstep and saw this image in nature speaking to me.
This image is ironic in some ways. It’s the image of snow embracing a plant that has died for the season, against the backdrop of new life ‘springing forth.’ Walking out my door I could have just seen the snow, and the decaying plant, but instead, the green…the image of inspiration, and HOPE, caught my eye, and thus, changed the way I woke up to my day.
I felt
HOPE: New beginnings are just around the corner, for each of us, if we just open our eyes and take the time to look for them.
INSPIRATION: if nature can break through the winter and live, then we can break through those things that hold us back and LIVE our lives!
My invitation to you:
1.Take some time today to pause and look at life around you.
2. Note what you see.
3. Let yourself feel the inspiration within you.
4. Put the inspiration into your day and see where it leads you.
5. Write down what inspired you and where it lead you.
Blessings on your day,
Bella Bleue
