Be U: December 2024

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.

oUtstanding

Discord. Confusion. Awareness. Mindfulness. New ways. New times. Really Amazing Moments.

I can feel it. I hear it. I see it. From many. From within and around myself.

Is it because we are not where we are going. Not where we were. But on our way…

Is it because the elephant in the room is no longer able to be ignored. The dirt is not so easily swept under the rug… I hope so. I pray so. I believe in You. I believe in us. I believe in our God and the universal energy flow and way. I believe in our collective knowledge, wisdom and caring of ourselves and one another.

You have been thru so much. How can you not feel all that you are feeling…

Breathe. Be. Honor.

Divine Time. Divine Way. We do not even have to try when we are being asked (forced) to be our own true selves. Just Be You. That is who God wants You to be. The real, authentic, vulnerable truth deep down in your core. Let You be oUtstanding in blessing and loving the You that is truly You. From your own loving truth share the realest real You; thru compassion, empathy, kindness and free yourself of anything not of You.

May you be oh so true and loving to His creation - YOU. ‘Everything You’ desiring to live free.

Whatever your beliefs, you are here now for the individual and collective purpose of supporting, creating and shifting our world’s way for inclusion and loving support for all living creatures and things.

In unity and respect, we rise up from discord and create the course for all to live fully from their birthright and through the wisdom and blueprint that resides within each of us.

Let’s get it on. Now.

Gratitude

Gratitude. Let it be your attitude. Ha.

10 things I'm grateful for right now.

Friends. Sunshine. Blue Sky. Comfortable Chair. Lemon Water.

Family. Love. Kindness. Clean House. Grateful to be writing about gratitude.

When I take the time to look around and see/feel/experience things that I am grateful for, I open myself up to what is lovely in my life. Oh, what a gift to experience gratitude.

May you experience the gift of gratitude through your own life and witness it often.

What's Going On

Here we are. December 2024. You. Me. Us.

I saw something that said "It is what it is. But what actually is it?"

It felt pretty true to me. I giggled. I wondered. None of us know it all. I don't think we are supposed to or we would.

We could look at this time like an adventure, an experiment, life changing, life correcting, life lessons, beautiful and/or just messy. You can surely add your own truth to it too.

We are going through 'it' which, perhaps, is good because one of the most effective ways through it is, well, through it.

One breath. One step. One job. One task. One experience. One relationship. One moment. One situation. This time now. Now is the only place/time where we can fully be physically present. Our minds can take us to many places. You are able to be the watcher of and the one to choose your thoughts.

May you check in with yourself and see if you are enjoying your 'now'. Relax your shoulders, your body, your organs, your face. Take a deep breath. Feel. Perhaps, ask yourself what you could do best to let your love lead you forward in your own most favorable way. Our wisdom is always present. Your most valuable wisdom is within your being.

May you tap into your wisdom; listen and respond with your gentle strength.

May you have the most enjoyable/best answers for You.

May you get You going on.

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'!
