Be U: Fantastic

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.

Fantastic

The other day we were renting a boat and going out and as I waited on the dock, I asked a gentleman how he was today. His answer was "fantastic and getting better". What a great answer. It got my attention and I said "good for you".

I told myself that this is how I wanted to feel. And a new way started in that moment.

May you know how you wish to feel and let a new way start in this moment for you.

May you let your positive thoughts build and create your way forward.

Our thoughts are huge. They are heard and listened to. They are often adhered to. You can choose to change up any negative thoughts and build upon the positive ones.

I read about shifts, changes, a new world, new ways. I read about we are all one. I read about our reactions creating our feelings. Much of it sounds true and real for me.

Life is not what it used to be. Very, very different from years ago. I heard myself saying that the word 'simple' must have left the dictionary because the simplicity that we once knew has been taken away through many options in one field/business, never ending technological choices, and all of us questioning what works best now.

There were rules and ways of doing things. We are realizing that there are better ways of doing things now. Traditional is somewhat being replaced with freshness and flow. We are meeting ourselves where life is at now and this is a good thing. It is not a simple thing when compared to the past. It can be a simple thing when followed through the flow.

Weddings are different. Marriage is different. Living arrangements are different. Families are different. And, for the most part, what works for the individuals and/or couples and/or families is what is best. What works to allow us all to feel and live in love is what works best; I believe.

Be a fanatic of love. Let love lead you. Let your love be involved in everything that you do and are.

May you be 'fantastic and getting better' more often than not.

May you open to the reality of your circumstance. Hide nothing under the rug. Do not let the elephant stay in the room. Experience your life while riding out the elephant. Live from your truth connected to life's truths and others' truths.

This is the new and best way to allow the new and best you to forge forward into fantastical experiences.

You and your truth are here somewhere always. Let it be so.

May we all honor ourselves and each other.

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'!
