Be U: No Where to Run

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.

No Where to Run

We are in. We are in a life that has very limited places to hide. Everything is 'captured' by digital technology and we all have the capability of 'making movies'.

I am glad when I was young and silly that my 'young and silly' was not captured! It is strange enough for my old and silly to be so.

I understand that as I don't do anything wrong, I cannot be caught doing anything wrong. Even as I'm a true and trusting person, I am only human and humanness has many weird practices.

There is good news in this as what we do is digitalized, we can see for our self the true and fun things we humans do. We can see so much more about each other than we ever could. While I have this under 'good news', it can also be something else!

We can connect across the world within seconds. We can see each other in different states; different countries.

We can tie in to each other so easily; from one-on-one to a whole group of us.

This is progress. This can also be challenging.

As I'm writing this, I am so uncomfortable in my body. I find it hard to concentrate. I find it hard to sit in comfort. I feel myself yawning and, again, wanting/needing to stretch.   I have been walking, at times, too. My body is just screaming to move and I am listening as best I can.

My head feels heavy and light at the same time. It feels certain and uncertain too.   I am stuck in between both worlds of knowing and unknowing; being seen and unseen; wanting more and okay with where I am...

Stuck. In this moment, I am stuck. I accept it because it is my truth. I also know that if I wait long enough, this will no longer be my truth. Change is always inevitable. And, even while stuck, I am okay.

I feel silly and childish. I feel frustrated and charmed. I feel ansty and calm.   I am a bundle of it all.

This is being human.   We all have many sides; many feelings; many emotions.

May we all live through them in our truest, gentlest and kindest of ways. May we support each other in doing the same.

In this, we all win. I want us all to win.

May you win. I think what matters most is that you feel like you win; at least from time to time.

I know I do and it is what keeps me going the best. The love of the win; and just the love.

Thank 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'!
