Be U: What's Uppeee

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.

What's Uppeee

I come here to write on a heavy rain, temperature dropping, beautifully serene day. The palm trees dance in the rain and the greenery and landscaping reaches up to connect to the wholeness of each drop that lands to feed it. It is quiet. It is loud. It is just as it needs to be.

I went to the doctor this morning to try to get a better handle and understanding on the drugs that I am on and the new drugs that are offered to me. I have a great resistance to take more.  I have an inkling of determination to not let them be a part of my every day life any more.

I cannot find the kind of help I wish to have to walk in and through this.   I cannot understand or commit to messing with my own chemistry any more through chemical drugs. I know they are great for some. I know they have allowed me to live a very 'fulfilling' life in the past during a whole lot of pain. I think that I know I need to go in a different direction now.

This scares me and excites me. I do not know how to accomplish this. I only know that a large part of me is open to accomplish this.

I am curious to see who I am without medicine. It has been thousands of moons since I have lived medicine free.

Are some of my feelings, irritations and nuances because of drugs...

I have experienced an awful lot of change, loss and challenges recently. I think I'm supposed to feel a lot of the 'stuff' I feel as I find myself on 'change, loss and challenge street'. As I am open for 'easy street', I invite myself to feel my way to it. I support myself just as I am.   I do not ask why I do not feel better.   I ask myself to love myself just as I feel responding to what is.

Deep, Deep, Deep...

Many of us are in deep just now. The flutter of life feeling like King Kong and the new every day changes and challenges that many of us are experiencing -- 'invite' us to feel unlike we've ever felt before.

It is okay. We are okay. You are okay.

May you feel what you feel. May you speak what you feel and let love and your unique self walk you through on this journey that we call life.

JUST BE U -- Just be everything you feel, everything you think, everything you are. Keep what rocks your world in a way that excites you. Let go of what rocks your world in a way that weighs you down. Walk with the wholeness of you and experience life as only you can. It may really just be awesome...

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'!
