Be U: Just Being Me

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.

Just Being Me

I have been looking at where I am in my life and I find myself grateful and in awe. I feel the need to thank each and every one of You for being a part of my life’s journey in whatever capacity You are present which helps me to feel a feeling of connection. Thank You.

I've recently hit 725 ‘followers’ on Instagram. I have a few thousand friends on my FB page and a few thousand ‘followers' on my FB ‘Just 9Be U, llp’ page. I have 100 Twitter people and my lisaungerer.com blog gets 100 a month and my '9BeU' blog gets 400 a month. I know this can be considered small in the social media arena. To me it is huge and I am grateful for You. Really truly grateful. I always send love when a connection is made. I always care about our world; the way we live it; and You. I am present to support feeling good and to show and share kindness.

Just Be You came about because I so strongly wanted to Just Be Me.

I have been blogging since 2010. I never advertised it as I was raw and vulnerable and knew that I did not want to (have to) deal with anything outside of myself then. Blogging taught me a lot about me and I stand stronger in myself now than ever before. I have gone through so many classes and seminars, retreats and alternative therapies.

I've been certified in Reiki, Life Coaching, Personal Training and online Ministry.

I love to see, witness and uplift people to feeling whole and living the best of themselves their way.

I was ‘hit’ with a painful, life altering, life threatening dis-ease at 17. I explored, researched, read, met with, tried, experimented with any thing that came up that may have been helpful. Having scleroderma was never fun. It was a ‘cause’ that taught me what life can really be about. To me it is about connection, love, being true to one’s self and caring about others. In these things, what was taught that I am able to offer out is incredible wisdom, knowledge, strength, gentleness, and love. For this, my gratitude is off the charts. I feel right where I belong (most of the time).

In seeing the big picture, life/universe/God gives us balance, lessons and as good as we can be/know is as low as we can be/go. The opposing factor is currently real.

I believe the chaos, change and the 'new becoming' we are living through now is changing that. We will know life more as 'heaven on earth' than experiencing the gambit that has been a broad scale of suffering to great joy.

Things we have done, learned, collected all tie together to build the way of who we are and what we do.

Seeing and open to the ‘power of now’ (living moment to moment) is meditation, fulfillment and the conscious state of knowing I am okay. I usually say we can feel and know this okayness above it all or is it below it all.. I am now called to say through it all.

As I realize all of our survival rates, thus far, has been 100% so this tells me we do have great odds at being okay through our entire lives. Experiencing and witnessing the ups, downs and everything in between has been the way of life.

Perhaps, we can learn and/or look at life as ‘just is’. Our experiences are experiences. How would it feel not to judge and/or label them good or bad but to experience them as human sensations that are…

Perhaps, that is for another day, time or blogpost.

Again, thank You for showing up, being here, offering me a connection and for You being You and experiencing You in truth, trust, honor and love. Bring You on home to You... Yay!

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'!
