Be U: May 2025

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.

Whatever

May you be whatever, whoever, whenever, however You are...

Tap into your feelings. Check within yourself. Fill yourself with your own love.

Live on from here.

Honor yourself.

Love yourself.

Know yourself.

Be yourself.

May you let yourself be all that You are.

May you let your happiness shine.

May you conserve your light when you feel to.

May you put kindle (loving things) into your life when your light is low.

May you share your light when you have plenty of it.

Be the light you wish to experience in the world.

You are this possible. It is said that the word "Impossible" says that I'm possible.

Believe in yourself. I do. We are all here now for the goal of creating the best life within us out.

May you let You happen.

Feel

May you always feel what is inside of you to feel. Being human is feeling. Being human is the culmination of all of our experiences moment to moment; day by day; month by month; decade to decade; in each and every breath we breathe.

This is your human journey. It is, perhaps, meant to be wonderful, to challenge, to be mundane; to make us laugh and to cry and to always be changing. We journey individually, together.

The human spirit is always a part of who we are. Sometimes, I let my thoughts and others' opinions quiet my spirit. I let my human mind question my feelings.

You know you better than anyone. You are the only one that has experienced your entire life; each and every circumstance. You are the only one that you will spend your entire life with.

Sometimes, we are our own worst enemy. May you be your own best friend.

We are born with a roadmap innately a part of us and always with us.

May you tap into your feelings, your love, your desires and your own kindness.

May you grow your life through this uniqueness of You.

You are always happening. Invite your spirit and rock star-ness to breathe through as many happenings as possible as often as possible.

Honor your feelings from your own silent solitude and through your own loving truth and vulnerability. In you may you trust.

What if this is the way our Creator created us to live... May you dig it. Dig deep and honestly through your human vessel and your innate roadmap, together with your learned existence.

Obstacles

May you look and live through what may feel like obstacles to you. To see, be, feel, own, live what your heart and soul knows. It is what invites the 'beingness' of You to be so.

No one can do it for us. What is meant for us will keep whispering/knocking until we are open to receive and experience same.

As I am now; as my life is now - it is me and my experience(s). When I ignore or run from any of it, it does not leave. The longer I choose not to participate in what I am experiencing as truth, the louder things may get.

Nothing that is meant for me disperses until I live it and/or feel it. Confront it and go through it. Enjoy it and be it.

May you live and feel what is true to you and the experience(s) of being You.

There is no obstacle too big when living in the loving truth of You. Your loving truth is more powerful than any obstacle that may arise.

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'!
