From Broken to Beautiful: An Easter Message of Transformation




When I was a young girl, one of the things I looked forward to the most was coloring Easter Eggs with my family.  Easter wouldn't be complete without them, those colorful symbols of new life. But have you ever considered the powerful metaphor hidden within a simple eggshell?  Just like a chick breaks free from its shell, we too can break free from the limitations that hold us back.


In the work that I do, I often encounter people trapped in cycles of negativity. They hold onto dysfunctional thoughts – narratives filled with grief, guilt, anger, fear, and a crippling victim mentality. These stories bind them, preventing them from experiencing the love and joy that life truly offers.


But here's the good news: Just like Easter celebrates the triumph of life over death, we too have the power to crack open the shell of negativity that surrounds us. We can rewrite our internal narratives, move beyond the "victim" mindset, and step into a space of empowerment and love. Our internal dialogue can impact the way we feel as well as our attitude and behavior.


This is where The Beauty Underneath the Struggle (The B.U.S. Story) comes in. I wrote this book to share my personal heeling and to help other understand how our thoughts and beliefs create our reality. We can't control everything that happens to us, but we can control how we interpret those events. Just like a chick pecks away at its shell, we can chip away at the negativity and emerge into something stronger and brighter.


Here's how we can write our best B.U.S. stories for a more fulfilling life:


  • Shine a Light on Your Negative Thoughts: Acknowledge the stories you tell yourself. Are you stuck in a cycle of blame, resentment, or self-doubt? Recognizing them is the first step towards change.

  • Challenge Your Inner Critic: Are these beliefs truly based on reality, or are they echoes of past experiences? Question the validity of negative self-talk and challenge its hold on you.

  • Rewrite Your Narrative: Replace negativity with affirmations that empower you. Celebrate your strengths, acknowledge your journey, and focus on what you can control.

  • Embrace New Possibilities: Move beyond the victim mindset. You are not powerless. You have the ability to choose your path and create a life filled with love and joy.

Just like the first Easter morning, this transformation may not happen overnight. There will be setbacks. Doubt may creep in. But remember, even the chick inside the egg faces resistance before it breaks free. Every day is a new opportunity to peck away at your limitations, to rewrite your story, and to move from the clutches of negativity into the light of love.


This Easter, let's celebrate the power of resurrection within ourselves. Let's crack open the shells of negativity that hold us back and embrace the possibility of a beautiful life filled with love. We all deserve to rise above our struggles and experience the true joy of being alive. Happy Easter!!
