Self-appreciation! When we love ourselves, we are in a
state of high joy vibration. We have light all around us.
We love the good and the so-called obstacles, which by
the way are only an illusion of our perspective of those
obstacles.

Years ago, when I was really sick for several months,
this was definitely an obstacle….or was it? I initially saw
it as an obstacle, but then I changed the way I looked at
it. I had such profound thoughts of worry and fear a lot
of the time, and didn’t understand how my thoughts
were attracting everything I didn’t want, including this
illness.

During this time, I allowed myself to do my internal
spiritual work that I needed in order to SEE, really open

open my eyes to my life at that time—who was I and what would a person have
to believe about herself to be thinking worry and fear a lot of the time?

I had thoughts of “Why did this illness happen to me?” Then synchronicity
occurred. I started to read all these spiritual books which happened to just come
into my life at the appropriate time. These books discussed variations on the Law
of Attraction. I realized that I attracted this illness because there were lessons
that I needed to learn from it, and truly get it! I was ready to receive the
information and make huge changes in my life.

Sometimes the gift is in a different package than what we would hope for, isn’t it?


Prior to that illness my connection to God was very corroded. I was existing in a
state of darkness with those negative emotions that were overwhelming at times,
especially at night. But you know something? I soon realized that I was the one
who kept turning off the lights, and I had a decision to make. I wanted to get
well, but I also wanted to know how to create my life differently. I knew that I
was emerging as this butterfly coming out of her cocoon that she put had put
herself in for so many years.

Incidentally, that’s why my Kick Buts Weight Loss program has a butterfly to
click on—it’s a beautiful image of transformation.

It was through this sickness that I discovered me—beautiful, shining Tami. This
obstacle was not an obstacle after all; it was a beautiful gift wrapped up in pink
light because I changed the way I looked at it. I hadn’t known how to do self-
appreciation and love myself. I didn’t even know what that looked like, but I
soon learned.

What does this mean to you?

You may be encountering different things in your life right now. Your gift is
right here, right now. The obstacle is only an illusion as there is something
profound being revealed to you. You only have to open your eyes to see the gift
of YOU—and love yourself more.

Here’s a beautiful quote taken from, "Hot Chocolate For the Mystical Lover" by
Arielle Ford:

For Betterment of Conditions by Anonymous. Everything that I do, say, or think
is governed by Divine Intelligence and inspired by Divine Wisdom. I am guided
into right action. I am surrounded with friendship, love, and beauty.
Enthusiastic joy, vitality, and inspiration are in everything I do. I am sure of
myself because I am sure of God. I know that what is 'mine' will calm me, know
me, rush to me.

Isn’t this beautiful?

Recently, when I was seeing something as an obstacle, I was talking to a friend
and she read this to me over the phone and it changed my thinking. I am
surrounded by beautiful friends.

Do self-appreciation. Nurture yourself. Be kind to yourself. Love yourself. When
seeing something as an obstacle, then do a simple process. Say, “I see you
obstacle and I love you for revealing yourself because you’re showing me that
there is something greater in store for me.”

Then get up and shake your hiney and shout, “I am awesome! I am beautiful! I
am God’s gift to the world! WAHOO!

Now here is another beautiful quote:
