Be U: Your Way

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.

Your Way

Life. Living. Before. Now. Future. Always.

The only place we can truly participate in and live through is this moment now. That is why we call it the present.

May you present your full, true and open self into each moment. If you want, may you know your goal in this moment or may you just be open to the adventure of being you in the life that is presented to you. The moment that is here because it is meant for you to experience. The moment that arises now because of your openness to following the innateness of what you are feeling and/or called to be doing.

As we meet life where it is for each of us just now, we are all kind of 'swimming' in the depths of it and sometimes the current is carrying us and sometimes it feels like we are swimming against the flow and sometimes we feel like we are drowning and sometimes we get to float with ease, pleasure, leisure, intensity, joy and everything/anything that makes us most feel like ourselves.

Like having cotton candy or a caramel apple at a fair. Like enjoying the happy people walking about. By being one of these happy people. By hearing people laughing with adventure on their ride(s) and even experiencing the balancing and/or high wire acts with confidence because it is something we were either meant to do or something that brings us great joy or both.

As I really let my imagination go wild, I see a dove above heart energy in this picture that I am placing with this post.

A dove can represent, through its song, new waters of life. That no matter what our life conditions, new waters and new life are still possible. The dove's song is heard most distinctly at dusk and dawn. These are the 'between times' in which there is a thinning of the veils between the physical and the spiritual, the past and the future. The dove can help you to use these times to see the creation process active within your own life. from the book "Animal Speak" by Ted Andrews

"A heart can be the locus of physical and spiritual being and represents the 'central wisdom of feeling as opposed to the head-wisdom of reason'. It is compassion and understanding, life-giving and complex. It is a symbol for love." google

May you open up and play up to the adventure that is YOU(RS).

May you let both your physical and spiritual parts of you work together to access, create and live the life that is YOU(RS).

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'!
