Be U: Peace

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.

Peace

As I come here this morning to share my thoughts of peace; with hope that by sharing my thoughts, it may help you connect to your own...

I find that I couldn't log on to my computer and Peace is not what I was feeling. Yikes...!

I sat down to say (write)...

Hello to you. Let peace begin with me... and let peace begin with you... and you and you and you...

My inability to write this because I couldn't get onto my computer because of someone else's doing made me feel unimportant; uncared for; not considered and angry.

My first reaction was to talk loudly (scream) and, literally, wake up the person responsible. I took a breath and wrote on a yellow sticky that 'it sucks' that I cannot get on 'my' computer. That I was unable to run with my thoughts because I was unable to log their computer off of my own. I placed the post-it note on the screen and I came here to my cell phone..

And here I am. Originally wanting to talk about peace... Perhaps, a lesson within a lesson on how to keep my own peace on.

Am i cared for... Yes. Am i important, yes... Was I considered, I don't think so; not in that moment. And, it has nothing to do with me--other than my own experience of same.

I do not know what that person was working on, thinking about; involved in. I don't know what time this person was on the computer. I do know it was in the middle of the night while I slept.

Can I be mad at this person... Yes, I suppose. And, I'm learning that I feel better when I realize that I am not this person's center of universe. Nor, is it best if I would be. This person is this person's center of the universe. As I always 'preach', I believe life works best this way. ("Just 9Be U") We are each at the center of our own world. What we speak, think, do, respond to is what affects us most.

Would I have like to be considered and have the computer available to me... Yes.

However, as i share my experience with them (from a place of as much love as possible), I give them a chance to consider me the next time. And this would be my goal - to have them consider me. By me getting 'all up in there bout it' affects me. And I want to love myself thru.

And yes. This is what is peace to me..

May you know what peace is to you; may you live in alignment with this.

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'!
