Be U: Merry

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.

Merry

Merry You. Merry Me. Merry Us.

Merry because we believe in something larger than our self.

Merry because we have a choice to believe.

Merry because we have things that are enjoyable in our life to be grateful for.

Merry because we love.

Merry because we are loved.

There is one person (or more) in your world that You are important to.

There is one person (or more) in your world that they are important to You.

You can be everything to You.

Merry, like happy is a choice.

Merry, like happy is an 'inside job'.

Merry is the honor to honor and be honored.

May you choose merry as much and as often as possible.

When merry seems out of reach there are things one can do and be.

Just be and breathe. Trust the process of life. Trust yourself. Trust divine timing and that when there is something for you to do, you will know what it is and will be able to do it. Learn what you want for yourself and believe it to be possible in whatever amount is available to you just now. It is a start.

Do something kind for yourself.

Do something kind for another. This is a gift for both the person you are kind to and yourself.

Call someone. Reach out to someone. Write down five things you are grateful for.

It is part of life to not be merry or happy all the time. Life is filled with moments that represent many emotions.

Trust that what you feel is real and there is a purpose to feeling so.

Let love; your love, lead You.

Relax into what You are feeling. Everything changes.

You. Me. Us.

We are here to learn, grow, be, do and serve.

There can be 'merry' in all of what we are.

Choosing not to label what is and just allow life to flow through You can be a good way to invite, let in, let go and let life be so. Let you and your life happen.

What if there was no good or bad, merry or sad, wrong or right... What if this is life as it is and to let it all flow through You and walk into, out of and let your love be present for You and for your life experiences. One can always choose love. It helps to believe that every one and every thing is doing their very best and it is the very best road for growing, becoming and letting the uniqueness of what is You thrive through your very own love being present.

Perhaps, it is the merriest of ways.

I see a pattern happening with these current posts.

Honor thyself. Honor what is. Honor others. Honor each breath as your body breathes through and on.

My love to you. From my heart to yours. Let us honor this moment and fill up with honor and go forward with honor, love and who/what/where we are. As often and as much as possible.

What is the merry that is present for you just now... May you open to the merriment of You. It can be what you are used to. It can be a whole new kind. It may be a whole new way. Believe it is there and present for You. Amen.

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'!
