On today’s episode of Feminine Roadmap, we are talking about living a life of celebration with Sherry Richert Belul, coach and author of “Say it Now: 33 Creative Ways to Say I Love You to the Most Important People in Your Life.” Sherry is on a mission to spread the message of celebration not just on big occasions but in every day life, in every day situations, celebrating other people so they feel seen, heard and loved. Her own journey began over 30 years ago when she struggled with depression and considered ending her life, by grace she found a mindfulness breathing practice that allowed her to feel a moment of well being. That one moment of well being lead her on a path of seeking those moments of well being, those “pin pricks of light” as she calls them, and realizing she could create them. Her new awareness helped her to begin to live a life of celebration, finding those moments that brought her joy, moments that were gifts just waiting to be found all around her. Using many different tools, Sherry encourages listeners to find their own life celebration practices to help them gain greater perspective.

“But if I had 2 or 3 of those (moments of light) in a day, that was a lot better than it had been. Then slowly over time I changed that language to, ‘This is a moment of well being. This is a moment of feeling good.’ I realized I didn’t have to wait for them to occur, I could create them.”
