Peace!
About a week ago, Holly introduced me to Affirmagy, a woman owned business in Seattle, Washington spreading the power of affirmations. They have several “Affirmawraps,” or throw-blankets, available with very inspiring words and phrases on them. As soon as I saw the one with the word PEACE, I knew I had to have it.
I’ve been having a really awful couple of days. I have had bad depression and anxiety problems for as long as I can remember, but I’m usually pretty good at stuffing them deep down in hopes that nobody will notice the ticking bomb that is me.
Over the past few days, I seem to have lost my knack for stuffing and hiding because the bomb went off and I’ve done nothing but sulk and explode into tears, wishing for a deep dark hole to crawl into.
I came home today (and we all know how much I love being home) to find a box on the couch with my name on it. I was expecting to open it to find a pipe bomb, but much to my surprise, it was the exact opposite!
I opened it to find my Peace Affirmawrap, along with a very kind, personal (and handwritten!) note from Kristen. It couldn’t have come at a better time, really. As corny as it may sound, reading the inscription on the blanket made me feel a bit better about myself. It helped to perk up my mood at least, and it gave me the push I needed to do the things I needed to do today. (Which I probably wouldn’t have bothered doing otherwise.)
I am calm and centered ø I am a magnet for east and grace ø I attract peace and prosperity ø I embrace diversite ø I am an advocate for peace ø My sense of self radiates around me ø Each day I take time to be still ø Peace has power ø Together we create peace and harmony ø Peace begins with me ø We all have individual gifts to give ø I treat others with respect and reverence
Now that I’m finished, I’ve changed into comfortable clothes and I’m lying in bed, wrapped in my new Peace blanket. I’m totally in love with it. The microfiber material is super soft and comfy, and it’s keeping me perfectly warm while it’s freezing both outside and in my bedroom. And best of all, I really feel at peace with everything right now.
It’s 7am and I haven’t been to bed yet, but I got to spend the night talking with one of the most amazing people I’ve ever had the pleasure of meeting, and she (along with this fantastic blanket) has helped me to make a crack in the rut I’ve been stuck in, and hopefully soon I’ll really be okay again.
I know that this isn’t a traditional product review, but with the subject of affirmations, I felt this would be the best way to go about it.
I really, really (HUGEBOLDSPARKLINGREALLY!!!) recommend Affirmawraps to everyone. There are several to choose from; the one I have is from the Limited Spring Edition, along with Compassion, Inspiration, and Joy.
