Be U: 'Say You Say 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.

'Say You Say Me'

Say You for always. "Say it together, naturally"... Hoot.

Lionel Richie.

He sure has a career, an image; is iconic and going strong.

I must have played his album “Can’t Slow Down” a million times on high volume serious levels. It reached deep inside of me and gave me all the feels. I was so young and that album was da bomb. I knew and loved every song. ‘Hello’ is my all time favorite. I think it touched me in the void that was created by myself in the story I told myself about my father abandoning our family. And, it is just a brilliant, moving, beautiful song.

Is there a singer/artist, song-words, thoughts coming up from inside of You just now… Can you place it, remember it, feel it, realize it… How interesting music and songs can help us support, remember, release, hold onto times, memories and feelings strongly; enjoyably and so genuinely.

What a song says to me.. What a song says to you can say and tell us -- connect us to parts of ourselves in real, amazing ways of processing, growing and becoming what is inside of us and really real.

The feeling of freedom and joy that driving in my car, open road, windows down with my favorite music on loud feels ecstatic. This feeling is what it feels like to me to be in the flow of life; as my true self; genuinely and sincerely. That feeling of aliveness is one I wish I could live in continuously. I've visited here many times. I am open to being in the 'breeze' of myself - free, happy; honoring myself, life and You. This is what feels like the raw, genuine adventure and best way to be Me; to live my truest of life.

What comes to you being in your mind, body and soul when you think of the times and ways when You feel most alive…

May you recreate, create, dream and believe in all the genuine, raw, real possibilities of You being fully You, true to your best adventures and ways to/of /within You.

Get loose, get funky, jump in.

The life yet inside you to live awaits.

How dynamic You can be and are. !!

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'!
