Wednesday October 31, 2018 I have 24 years clean and sober. It has been an extraordinary journey getting here. It is part of why I do what I do today. I did alot of school of hard knocks growing up. I had no idea how to truly be in relationships with people without using, abusing and manipulating to get what I needed or wanted.

31Oct2018

I get it, no matter what my skewed perspective tells me, I am here to do what I do and I must continue doing that.
Out of this I get to allow others to go on their journey, trusting and knowing
that I am still sharing my message and it is NOT for everyone.

The mental programming is dense and automatic and when we choose mindfulness, we begin to disrupt the habitual self-talk that quietly erodes our confidence.

17Oct2018

ALL THE EVIDENCE in my whole life has shown me that all the worry
and fear is for naught. EVERY single thing has ALWAYS worked out.
Maybe different than I envisioned, but it has worked out.

10Oct2018

My experience is it is usually quite valuable to hear from someone else what they received from the course, what they continue implementing today and how it continues to evolve in their life.

03Oct2018

I think one of the MOST EFFECTIVE tools I have learned over the years is
to DEFINE what it is for me.
The IT being:
~what is being supported to me (where this began in the first email)
~what does giving and receiving love look and feel like to me
~what are my work ethics
~when is the right time to offer support

I’m relating this to our own internal journey inside. It can be quite intensive and extensive. It takes time, experience and practice to do this inside transfomation. It takes repetition to learn to master the skills it takes for us to navigate our internal world of emotions.
It takes guidance, coaching and mentoring to help us cultivate the practices and skills to make this journey internally.

19Sept2018

I have been practicing the one tool to disrupt the “negative” self-talk. I notice it is very subtle and insidious today. Less obvious than my past life(you know, just yesterday) LOL.
I still notice how often I have the opportunity to utilize this tool, let me tell you. As much as I share and practice what I preach, my own self-talk can still be poopy sometimes.

12Sept2018

When our wounds get touched and we are triggered, we often have no idea why. When it happens this is an opportunity to heal deeper layers and, quite possibly have a boundary about how we allow ourselves to be treated.

29Aug2019

Awareness of our thoughts, first and foremost, is how we begin to make any kind of progress to notice other kinds of thoughts might be more beneficial and make us feel better. Everything happens in our mind FIRST. Our mind perceives our world and based on our prgramming and perception, we create our very own reality from our thoughts.

22Aug2018

It is important for us to speak our truth, because we are teaching people how to treat us. When we ignore things we are telling them it is okay to behave this way. Our silence is consent.

15Aug2018

Many of us attempt to discard our emotions exactly how we throw away plasitc, by discarding them and burying them deep inside. When we bury them long enough, we’ll get sick over them, in additon, to them coming out sideways. It is important for us to feel ALL OUR FEELINGS. We will live through them. They won’t kill us. And we are better for it.

8Aug2018

I speak to how our life today is reflective of our family history. How it can show up and what we can do about it. We all have some obvious history we’ve experienced with our family life. We also, most likely, have inherited some history from our ancestors that could be manifesting in our life currently.

25July2018

I have invited a very special guest to the call to share her experience taking this course. As life happens, she is a woman that has participated twice. Each time giving a deeper experience.

18July2018

When we realize we are at choice in our life, we stop being a victim to ourselves and our circumstances. Truly, it does not matter what is presented in our world, we have a choice about how we will precieve it and, possibly, what we’ll do about it.

11July2019

I am honoring what I need by being disciplined to continue being present to the business at hand, managing my time and taking care of things in matter of priority. Sometimes, honoring myself requires the discipline to stay focused and do what is right in front of me.

06June2018

This is the crux of keeping it simple. Doing ONLY ONE THING at a time when we are attempting to make changes and implement different behaviors and/or beliefs. Okay, maybe 2 things. I am speaking to our lifetime of habits we are deciding need to be upgraded, because what we are doing is ineffective.

30May2018

We hold onto things and behaviors that are familiar and comfortable, because to do something else can be extremely uncomfortable, so we stay the same and wonder why nothing changes.

23May2018

My life is forever changed because I was willing to uplevel my ability to receive. I hope his life is a little easier and he can sleep better too. I speak on the call about upleveling is usually incremental, but this experience has opened my heart more than an increment.

16May2018

If I don’t like what I am feeling in the moment I seek to change it by something outside of me, instead of sitting with the feelings and feeling them.
I attempt to dispose of them in a myriad of ways:
I distract myself with T.V.
Sometimes I eat food emotionally, even though I’m not hungry.
I might go sweat it out at the gym (not that this is a bad thing LOL).
I look for answers from my friends by talking excessively about my story, never really getting to the heart of what is up for me.
If you drink, maybe you drink to drown the feelings.
Retail therapy

Do you see how perspective is everything? If I measure based on where I was and how much I grew and implemented through the course, I moved miles. If I measure based on where I think I should be now, then, I am the same as I was.

2May2018

I’m speaking about coffee specifically, but the point is how many ways do we react based on the threat of something that is not even happening RIGHT NOW? This is the point of the call this week. I spoke to different ways we react to anything that happens in our life based on our thoughts about that thing.

46-I didn’t listen to my intuition
I realized it was not that I didn’t listen, it was that I didn’t call it out and take action to tell her what I was feeling. My intuition was SCREAMING at me. I allowed her to speak over and continue talking, instead of stopping the conversation when she asked the question: “did I think she was ready?”

11April2018

We seem to think that saying yes just because we are asked is what we are supposed to do. Or if you’re like me, you look at the calendar and say yes because there is an open time available. When we hit exhaustion and burn out, we are no good to anyone, we cannot give our best to anyone or anything.

4April2018

It has also gotten easier with time and practice. It is not really different for me, except that I’ve done this growth and transformation “work” for a long time, I have healed alot of the wounding and trauma. Now, I am inspired to help you on your path. It is why I do this now. I want to help others on their journey find other tools and applications they can use to continue growing and healing the wounds that have kept them stuck where they are.

I am very present to this fact that beliefs create our processes.
What I mean by this is whatever we’ve been taught from birth forward is how we’ve learned to interpret and process our life and what happens in it, whether it is the way we celebrate to how we grieve. 21March2018

Life shows up the same way. Sometimes it is unexpected and unpredictable. I do my best to prepare myself by, at the very least, choosing my attitude and perspective. 28Feb2018

Let’s remember a time someone said something to you, they had no idea where you were emotionally or mentally or what space you were in and their timing was off. The very words used might land okay for me, but may not land okay for you. It is all relative to the person, delivery and timing of the communication. 21 Feb2018

When I think of forgiveness, it comes with judgement about what the person did was wrong or an injustice or horrific in it’s nature. This may be true in my humanness and my ego mind, but in the bigger picture of life and the purpose of what someone does. I DO NOT KNOW. I find that it is truly about accepting what is so. It doesn’t mean I like what is so, it means I accept that this is how it is. I can do nothing to change it now, however, I may choose a different action in the future. 07Feb2018

This loop is endless. We can fill in the blank with anything and then run amok with WHAT IFFING ourselves to death and to what end? What this produces is the endless cycle of beating ourselves up. We can fall into the trap of never feeling good enough. We romance the past and wish we’d done something different and because we made the choices we made, we are right here right now. 31Jan2018

I am super excited to interview a woman that participated in the 6 week course: A Journey Into Loving Yourself From the Inside Out. 24Jan2018

I addressed the topic of dealing with toxic family members that are in your life temporarily. You know the ones that only come around for funerals, weddings and maybe family reunions. 17Jan2018

I don’t know for a fact that I actually create EVERY SINGLE THING that happens in my life or the world. What I do know is when I adopted the attitude that I am 100% responsible for being the creator in my world, something shifted inside of my being. My perspective changed and I began to take responsibility for my beliefs, thoughts and actions, in that order. 10Jan2018

It is why I have found choosing a word much more effective. When I choose a word for the year, it can penetrate the unconscious part of my brain and my brain engages in new ways of helping me be successful. It’s a trick on the thinking mind. Instead of allowing my unconscious to sabotage me with whether “I feel like it” or some other thing, I give it something else to focus on. 03Jan2018
