Be U: Kittens

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.

Kittens

There are four kittens outside of my apartment.   I did not know until a woman knocked on my door today to tell me she has a humane trap for them right outside my garage door; to just be careful and she will take care of it.

Yes, when I opened my door just now; sure enough, there was a black kitty with green eyes in the trap. I do not like seeing them trapped and I believe that these women are going to take them, spay them in hope of finding them a home. The mom has been here all along just hanging out and she is under a car sitting watching it all.  I was very happy that, pretty much, as soon as I saw the kitten, another woman showed up to take it.  Two of the handy men that work here also showed up with concern.

It stresses me to see and know this. I have chosen to feel fear, or maybe just apprehension, (which doesn't feel good either) that I may run over them with my car as I back out of my garage. Yet, I am very happy that the woman was kind enough to let me know. I will surely keep my dogs away from that area because I am sure that a kitty would look like a real fun 'game' to them. They would not hurt it and they would definitely chase it if it ran. It's like I can feel the stress that these cats are under and I do believe it's better than just letting them be and multiply. Ugh

This is another feeling/'statement' that makes me believe, again, to 'stay put; stay still; be quiet; contemplate and heal'.   This is a small, inner knowing, yet loud part of me.   There is another small part of me saying 'loser, get a life, going to go stir crazy'.  Yesterday, I was dancing in the apartment because I just had to!

What a battle I find myself in when I don't let myself accept my truth. My truth is that I am healing. It's the best chance I have at healing anyway. I'm grateful I have the opportunity to just be. I'm thinking not many people are this 'lucky'. And, 'luck' is in the eye of the beholder. Yikes.

May you hear your inner voice, respond, and lovingly accept what your truth is for today. May you know the 'luck' that is in your life.

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'!
