Be U: Changes

Coming for the Real You.

I'm hoping to share thoughts, fun and insightful information and aha moments with all to better serve ourselves and the universe.

My background is that of Executive Secretary for the local Electric company (11 years).

Certified Personal Trainer (since 1991) and Fitness Consultant for my own company, Beachin Bodies (6 years) and certified in Reiki and Nutrition with training in Cranial Sacral work, Tai Chi, and Meditation. Certified as a Professional Life Coach (2015); Minister at Universal Life Church (2016);

and, possibly, most important,

my own journey through illness and avenues, roads and roadblocks that I have taken to find the real me. (35 plus years).

The me that I was born as. The me that is the all-knowing. I believe the search is endless and we are here to learn and to love and to share it all.

Changes

Everywhere I look, I see some major change going on in our world. Many are struggling to find balance here on our beautiful Earth. Many are struggling with relationships, health issues, money issues.... are these not the three biggest issues of being human? I can't think immediately of any other issue that does NOT fit into this category.

Relationships - Do we mostly get caught up in GUNK when we do not discuss with the person that we are having issues with our truth of what we see/feel/believe to be true that troubles us. Sometimes we talk to everyone else about our beliefs; and, yet, we do not go to the only person other than ourselves that can 'fix' it. The person that really has a 'stock' in it the way we do. Just what if we could easily, openly decide to go to our person in the said relationship and lovingly share our thoughts and maybe even share what we would like the relationship to look like/feel like and be like. What a concept, right? Mmmmm

Our health - Oh boy. We all know that movement is a good thing. We all know that eating live food and not processed food is best. Yet, some of us go from day to day not consciously moving more (even if it's to take the stairs instead of the escalator-elevator and/or park farther away from the entrance to where we are going). What would it be like if we just consciously stood and balanced a bit on one leg while putting pants on or reaching down to touch our toes or taking longer strides while walking or reaching up to the sky because it feels good. What if we added a piece of fruit and a vegetable to our daily intake of food. Could these little things be helpful and, perhaps, be a bridge to even more of the 'good for us' stuff. I think it's worth it to try. We have nothing to lose.

Money - Eh Gad. Some of us put a lot of our energy on money thoughts; maybe too much so, maybe too negatively. Some of us have a belief that it's hard to come by or deep down we think we do not deserve it or it's impossible to make. Just what if the focus could be on creating better ways for our world; sharing each other's ideas working together to create and fulfill needs of others. Yes, we need money to get by in this human world. It is the communication and transference that we barter with for home, food and even fun adventures.

My thinking is that if we are not doing as well as we would like in any of these 'issues', perhaps, changing our cognitive thinking; our thought patterns and process is a great first start in changing things up.

Yes, sometimes we are where we are just because it's the way it is. Yet, sometimes, if we can change one way how we look at things or do things - a whole domino effect can occur and bring about miraculous change. I'm thinking that every single one of us have seen or experienced this to happen at least once in our lifetime. So, doesn't that mean we do have access to it. It is available if we can tap into it.

Change is everywhere all the time. If something isn't quite working the way you want, may you be open to trying to do just one thing differently. May you listen to your inner voice loud and clear without hesitation or questioning and see what happens.

May you believe that no matter what happens next; you will be okay. Even when I don't feel okay; in truth, I really am okay. I may not like it; I may hurt -- and in truth, it passes and I am okay.

I do wish many things were not in our world. There is great pain and sorrow. I pray for the day when we can share this pain and sorrow as pain and sorrow and not anger and horrific-ness.

I do believe. I do believe. I do believe that this can be found and done by each and every one of us. When we know we matter; when we believe we feel a certain way because of real reasons and that it's okay to feel any and all of these; may we process them - let them go - hold on to each other and create peace and harmony.

Would our life be dull; is this why many of us do not choose peace and harmony at every chance we get.....

Only each of us have the answer within ourselves for this.....

May you allow peace and harmony to live within and around you.

My Past Story

The first thing I would always tell a new doctor was 'my dad left me when I was 10'. He just disappeared, ran away. It was pretty awful for me. I thought it was my fault as most kids sometimes do. I thought I was unlovable. Years later, 20 maybe, I realized it wasn't just that my dad left me that affected my life, but also that my mom stayed. She stayed and I'll be forever grateful. However, her staying wasn't all peaches and creme. She was so hurt, so distraught, so frightened to raise three kids on her own and find a job that it was very hard for her to be there for me and my needs. I chose to shutdown, be quiet and try not to make it any harder on her as to not ask for much, or voice much, or need much.

Years later, in 11/12th grade, I noticed my fingers being really cold and hurting all the time. I noticed them turning purple and the pain was very 'loud'. Humorously enough, I had chosen to be a secretary and typing was a big part of my everyday. I loved it even. Fingers flying across the keyboard with as little mistakes as possible was the goal. I was pretty good at it. While in typing class, I remember putting my hands on my neck to try to warm them and make them feel better. I was naive enough then to think this must be happening to everyone.

Anyway, years went by and nobody was able to tell me why this was happening or what to do to make it better. Then, approximately 4 years later, I remember (what I felt) was little me sitting across from a really big doctor at his really big desk and him telling me I was allergic to myself. Of course, this was him describing to me what auto-immune meant. I had a disease called scleroderma and it could kill me (sometimes in as little as five years) and I would most likely be on medicine and have it for the rest of my life and there was nothing to change it.

Anyway, almost 30 years later, I've had my share of pain and I'm alive. I've had ulcerations on my fingers and I have lost most of my nails on both hands from lack of circulation and producing too much collagen. My hands are somewhat not a pretty sight and to hit something with one of my fingers by accident (well, I refer to the feeling as 'going to the moon).

When I was about 30, I started looking at alternative medicine and I tried anything that came across my path to try to stop the pain. I have tried many normal and not so normal 'ideas'. I sometimes do not believe at what lengths I went to try to ease my pain and suffering!

This is what has brought me here to this point in my life.

I'm grateful to be able to learn so much about myself and life and I wouldn't take it back (well, some days I might want to).

Something was telling me to blog. I really didn't know much about blogging - I am still a novice at best. Approximately 5 weeks ago, I sat at my computer and started typing.

I am surprised at where my blogs have led me. I thought I was trying to help others and that still is a big goal of mine. However, what I am finding out is that this is a great outlet for me.

A way to feel like I'm doing something. I told a friend this morning about my blog and I said that it's draining because I put everything out there and do not hold back as I post each individual blog; its fun because it does give me an outlet and I feel a little purpose in my life; and it's scary because I don't want anyone laughing at me or telling me that I am completely 'off my rocker'!
