Be U: Surprise Yourself

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.

Surprise Yourself

Oh the things we can do that we are not open to do, that we think we can’t do, that we just don’t want to, and the things that we are just used to doing.. We human beings do.

Oh the things we can do when life sets it up that there is no other option that is better or greater than the one in front of us or that comes from inside of us.

‘When push comes to shove’ keeps popping in my head.

Sometimes the better option is to change something or to change ourselves, our thoughts, our actions, our response.

Sometimes it’s to change how we do something different than we always have.

Sometimes it’s to accept ‘what is’ because the reality of it is certainly so.

Sometimes, it is said that ignorance is bliss. Is it…

When 'right' just feels right to us, regardless of anything outside of ourselves, the power of what is right to us is best to not ignore.

When something feels wrong deep within ourselves, for us, it most likely is.

There are always options Not making a move or a decision just yet can certainly be one option.

You are the one that lives your life. Only You.

Some of us were taught that others know best; better than we do. Yet, ‘others’ do not live inside of us, we do. We are the only ones. We live the consequences of what we do, allow and are.

If there has been something you have wanted to change and/or know that changing something would be a positive thing, surprise yourself, change it.

If you know your reality is one way and you’ve chosen to ignore this way at your expense of ‘contentment’, stop ignoring it. Surprise yourself.

If you are resisting something that you really want to do, surprise yourself and do it.

Baby steps are allowed. Going in the direction of what feels best for You is, perhaps, a super superpower.

If something is for your higher good, surprise yourself and grab on.

May you surprise yourself and go, be, do, engage, let go, change, aspire.

May you surprise yourself and let out what is inside of you that wants to be free. Connect to the loving awesomeness that is You.

May you let your loving truth raise you up, in, on, and to the thing that has been waiting patiently for You to do; that you want to do; that you don’t want to do; that will be better if you do.

Surprise yourself and love yourself through.

Surprise yourself with a reward. Give yourself a treat.

Surprise yourself and watch the power and love of You upgrade and uplift the vibration of our world and situations just by being true to You.

May you experience wonderful surprises by living out loud [in your vulnerability] through living your authentic and genuine truth It opens up wonderful connections, new paths. In your own genuineness, your life is free to live its true colors of beauty strength, truth and trust.

The 'bestest' news is that when living the truth of You is when the greatest possibilities and the largest windows, doors and relationships come about.

May you take the very best care of You.

Surprise!.! You are the best one to do so.

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'!
