Be U: Soul and Spirit

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.

Soul and Spirit

I found myself asking myself what is the difference between 'soul' and 'spirit'.

What came up for me was the Soul is/knows our wisdom, purpose and uniqueness.

The Spirit is how we listen to our soul, live through it and display it.

Therefore, the spirit of the soul is the way we live through life.

It is our spirit that ascends/descends and participates with everything in the human world with the ability and connectivity to our soul which is always open and available to guide us.

May your spirit and soul work together. Being true to You with raw openness best allows this to naturally happen. When the heart is open and involved, love soars. When the mind is open and involved, possibilities are endless.

The soul has undying and infinite wisdom and understanding; guidance and love.

The spirit goes through the soul and decides what it wants to and can do with the wisdom, purpose and uniqueness that is our own. In the here and now is where being most open, true, flexible and free can allow the highest resolution of who we are.

The more we fully connect to this silent and underlying presence (it is an 'inside job') that is unique to each of us, the more fun and in joy we can experience.

Perhaps, sometimes our spirit will just sit with us in times of discomfort and/or disconnect. Help us to just be. Perhaps, waiting on the intellect of the universal enlightenment of our own soul.

We can render a great brightness, a natural light, a dim light and everything in between. Like the moon shines its brightest and wanes. So can our spirit and our human experience. The soul stands steady.

All of the ups and downs, ons and offs, highs and lows are the experience of being human that we all go through.

Staying in our wisdom, purpose and unique truth is the most courageous we can be.

When I am low, I am me. When I am high, I am me. When I am experiencing, I am open to experiencing as me.

When you are low, may You be You. When you are high, may You be You. When you are experiencing your spirit through your soul, You are You and there is nothing more or nothing less You need do.

Just 9Be U - Live Yourself Complete in each moment, experience, situation and relationship.

You are enough. You are ok. You are You and for YOU there is nothing better.

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'!
