Arielle's Recovery Cats

Yep, you read that correctly.

Many of you follow me on Twitter @arielleleebair and while the account is primarily for eating disorder recovery oriented tweets, I do often tweet about my life. And when I say "life," I sometimes mean "cats."

So, on April 30th, 2012, I tweeted that the 2 things I tweet about the most are eating disorders and cats. I mused via Twitter how cool it would be if the two could be combined somehow. And just like that, Arielle's Recovery Cats was born.

I decided on a whim that I would post a new "Recovery Cat" each day on Twitter. A Recovery Cat is a cat (created by me) accompanied by a positive saying that's related to e/d recovery. It's like positive affirmations + a cat. I like to keep things light-hearted, simple, and of course positive.

What are Arielle's Recovery Cats? Well, look below. Sometimes they are big, sometimes they are small. They come in many colors. And they can all be found in the Print Shop (it's international!!! yay!), for sale as tiny photo prints, magnets, mugs, coasters, postcards, and more. But always, they support your eating disorder recovery.

I mean, you have to ask yourself, "What could make recovery more appealing?" and the answer is clearly: "CATS." So there you have it. I aim to serve. And these cats want to push your eating disorder away so they can cuddle you. :-)

So watch out, people! Arielle's Recovery Cats are coming for you! And they take eating disorder recovery very seriously! See ALL the Recovery Cats at the Print Shop today!

Arielle's Motivational Mash-Up #10

Brand new Motivational Mash-Up, much like the previous 9. This week, it's also serving as my Wednesday Warrior video. Enjoy! Stay well! Have a fabulous rest of the week!

Summer Stress

A bit short, and not terribly thorough, but I do link to 3 other videos I've done in the past because I didn't want to repeat myself. :-) If you click to watch directly on YouTube you can snag those older links in the info box.

Knowing Your Limits and Being a Priority

Arielle's Word of the Day #30: COMMUNITY

I hope you have all enjoyed this blogger challenge. I can't tell you how delighted I have been to receive the daily emails telling me how fun/thought-provoking/healing this has been for people. I may have created the framework, but YOU did the work.

You did it.

We are a community. I love to build on community. I love to see our strengths in all their glory. I love to boost people up, help them share, cheer with them as they rise above what holds them down. I have very much enjoyed reading all the posts of those who have participated in this month's Word of the Day challenge. It's been rewarding to see  how different we all are. I love that. I love that a single word can bring out such a rainbow of experiences, emotions, stories, art, self-discovery.

This blogger challenge has been a rich one. I feel rich to have witnessed the insight you have all shown and encountered. It's BEAUTIFUL.

Thank you for meeting the challenge. You exceed all expectations. Don't forget that you are amazing.

I want to give a HUGE thank you to my dear friend Tracey who helped facilitate this fantastic little blogger challenge. She propelled Hungry for Change and Actively Arielle into a work of art.

The Words of the Day may have ended, but your encouragement of each other doesn't have to end...nor does your self-reflection. Choose your own words of the day... choose your own paths... and look to your community for strength, renewal, and positive emotion. You are appreciated.

Love,
Arielle

PS. There may be future blogger challenges. :-) We'll give you some breathing time. The lovely Tracey and I have more in store for you.
