Sometimes, sharing yourself at a raw state, can give others confidence in knowing they are not alone. My thoughts, my raw-ness, and my Ah ha moments.

What was the lesson?
Monday, July 31, 2023
So grateful for my mom!
I remember looking out my window in May, right after surgery and thinking... so many weeds outside, every where in my yard! AND I cannot even get out there since I just had this tumor removed. I will be able to get out there soon, but according to the doctors... during cancer treatment, I will lose my energy at some point.
In June, I was able to get outside and help weed with my mom. I was still working FT in office and only could do anything on the weekends. I quickly discovered that I only had enough energy to work hard 1 day and the other weekend, day... I was not feeling well, or found that I had no energy. It was only a matter of weeks before I didn't have any energy to do much of anything, any day. Let alone, working out in my yard, pulling weeds, planting plants and fixing up the yard this season.
All the credit goes to my mother who was outside, every day... by dawn; as it was the coolest part of the day. Sometimes before it was even light outside and would work outside using the shop "porch light" to use the wheel barrow to mix potting soil and dirt, modified for planting the new dapple willows. She is amazing! I am so grateful for her!
This was hard for me... letting someone else get out there and do that HARD work without me lifting a finger. I would feel so bad that I couldn't get out there to help her, but all the credit for my yard this year is to my mom. The yard is beautiful. Added a good chunk of plants, fixed other parts of the yard, but she did all the weeding. That is no easy feat... It's roughly almost 2 acres of hard work.
I would try to bring her water outside, since it was so hot outside, but she was pretty good to come in and take breaks to cool down. But she would get out there in her boots, gloves and her sun hat. Amazing how much she did!
I also want to give credit to my kiddo, Tyler. He works a ton and despite his hard schedule, he still made the time to come out and help my mom. Jason too, but it meant the world to me that my son made time to come and help me! I love all of you guys, so, so much!!!
Thank you!

Amazingly Happy

Don't have too!
I don't have to go to the gym every day. I have a gym right here in my backyard! I stated that I wanted to go to the gym daily and start on the 19th and I probably will start at some point, but not this week. I need some time to find the new balance for my day, for me. Whatever that may be!
My mindset is so stuck, still. I am not 20, or even 30 anymore. I am almost 50 and I need to start shifting my mindset to be more realistic. I don't need to keep up, or prove anything to anyone but me!
I don't have to be an overachiever. I was raised that way, for sure! BUT it is time to start making some changes!
Cheers to the awareness and taking action to making the change.

Change my mind
Thought I was done blogging, but the truth is that I'm not!
I could go to counseling. I could journal. I could, I could, I could. BUT I am not!
I like the ability to be able to blog. It's like journaling, I guess. It is public, and I'm an open book. I don't care what others think of me, nor do their opinions count in my world. On that same note, I'm sure others may not care to hear what I have to say. AND that's okay. This is for me!
Honestly, if I wanted to seek advice, then I will choose who to seek that from. I have a couple of highly regarded people in my life who I feel a deep connection with. A connection that warrants the desire to seek guidance on things in my life.
So in short, I'm back to blogging again. I have found that while I am writing, at times the answers come to me. What a world of self medicating. What an eye opening experience this has been in taking my thoughts and feelings online.
Cheers to the freedom of self expression.

Magical, unwinding gravitational pull
For so many years, most my adult “responsible” life, I feel as if I am following my parent’s words of wisdom. You know the nagging voices of… work hard and do whatever you need to do to make a living and then retire comfortably. BUT something has shifted recently, and my soul has me yearning for living life with passion, love, unbounding joy and living my true self. Loving what I do, day in and day out. Here’s the challenge. What is it? What does that look like? I really don’t know, but I want too!
I feel as if I am being pulled forward and just being where
I am “right now” … more so of the awareness of where I am, has become painful,
emotional and yet it fuels my fire to explore what that means all at the same
time. The opposition is my old, yet evolving self … who has that nagging voice
and the fight or flight feeling of being scared. All I can say is, I strongly
and wholeheartedly feel a conscience shift and I continue to remind myself that
it’s time for me to LIVE, LOVE and BE FREE! No longer bound to the chains of
the old patterns that keep me unhappy. Not in a negative way, just not living
life to it’s fullest most magical and its unlimited energy!
I remember a time… long period of my life where I wore a
mask, alcohol, drugs and all those crutches allowed me to “deal” with things
and endure life’s challenges, but in the past 10 years of my NSA journey, I can
happily say that the old negative patterns have fallen to the wayside and I no
longer think, nor want to clutter my mind and soul with crap!
Please hear my voice expressing my gratitude and asking that
you unveil the path that I am to follow. Lead the way, and I will continue to
trust the process.
Love and Light

Unfolding the Heart's Desire
So much has been going on that I seriously have NOT made time to blog. I always promise myself that, this time will be different. I will blog more; I will take the time to make it happen and this time… I quit my job so what was my excuse (this time) The fact is, I will stop making those promises right now. If I really wanted blogging to be a priority, I would make it happen. But I did not. I had other higher priorities that took precedence, and I got a PT job to occupy my time since I was going crazy with boredom. On a side note, my house was SUPER clean, and my yard was beautiful!
On my last entry, I spoke about my feelings on how things
went with my previous employer. Yeah, that was a hurtful situation, and the
pain was around for quite longer than I really wanted it to be. My choice to
keep it in my thoughts. Now it is September. OMG… what happen to the time. It
just flew, and even with COVID… it still flew!
I am happy to report that with lots of energy work, love of
landscaping, the urge to clean and organization, and time… all is better!
Breathing wonderfully and have forgotten about SMC. Truthfully, I learned of
something recently, and I could feel those feelings getting stirred and found
myself pissed all over again. Therefore, consciously, I decided that I can no
longer entertain discussing or thinking about it/them. Let it go with full
intention of not revisiting that again, now that I know it is a trigger! Yes,
to awareness!
So, I took a PT job, and ended up leaving after 4 weeks as
it was not a good fit for me. Clear on my boundaries and how “I” want to be
treated. Funny thing was that I was treated well as I established my boundaries
right from the beginning, but the others around me… not so much and I just
could no longer continue to keep myself in that toxic environment. So, I took
another PT job, and unfortunately got soooooo bored, I just could not continue
with it and ended up leaving.
On 7/16/2020 before I started that second PT job, I took
some time to journal a list. Frankly, I’m sick of starting and leaving jobs. I
really want to find my “home” -work home that is! I felt that if I got clear about my future self
with a new job and set it out to the universe to allow timing for the law of
attraction to work its magic. Amazingly, I am here to report that I am set to start
that new job in just a few days. Honestly, it was earlier than I ever
anticipated, but I’m happy to report that the universe has unfolded 20 out of
the 22line items listed for my new job. There was a few that were off a bit,
but close. Like… I want to be within 20 minutes’ drive to my office; I’m 26
minutes. Other item was if I had located a higher role, but after really
thinking about what was presented, I decided that I am moving to NC to take
life a little easier, and a step back was just what the mind, body and soul called
for. I though that my last employer took care of their employees, but I was
wrong! My new employer really values and takes care of their employees GREATLY
through all their benefits! Amazing company and I am SO grateful for the gift
that the universe unfolded for my future self. I am excited!
In hindsight… painful as it was to leave my last employer…
it was the right thing for me to do. For my mind, body, and soul. AND… I would
have never been available for this opportunity if I didn’t make those hard
decisions “then” -Thank you!

That magical number

To see the beauty in all that is.
At some point when I’ve had enough of myself wallowing in my own crap, I realize where I am, and I hit the reset button to flip the switch! Some days are more of a challenge for that to happen but for the most part, I remember what I’ve learned about Law of Attraction and make that conscience shift.
I do love it when that happens, because, only then can I have that renewed sense of reality and perception to see things for what they are. –Exactly in that moment; every moment really!
Living here in Washington State is beautiful! The seasons are beautiful! The colors of nature are simply amazing! How life can just move so effortlessly and how if you change your perception consciously the paradigm shift in life shifts with you.
Just a short note to share that paradigm shift, it can happen. You must make the choice to change and just do it. If it seems to be a challenge for you, just fake it until you make it! Eventually you will change those firing patterns in your brain and it will just become effortless! Change is not easy, trust me! But it is worth every ounce of effort you put into it.
Love and Light!

Living life through your heart not your mind
In my youth I was a victim; a great big giant one! I focused on the negative times whining and complaining, I am not sure if I was ever truly happy with anything back then. Never really was grateful for the good times even when in the moment. Honestly, I have had many lessons come and go and I never realized what it was I was supposed to learn, until after the fact when I would go back and reflect on the past or what I had written in my journal. Yep, I used to journal; it was something I needed to do to get those thoughts out of my mind. -At some point in my life I learned that stuffing those feelings and thoughts were super unhealthy! Thankful for that lesson!!!!!!
My journal was super private and it wasn’t something I wanted anybody to ever read; terrified if anyone ever read my most private thoughts! I guess I felt like someone would judge me for what was written. I used to be so afraid of other people’s thoughts of me… Thankful for the lesson to know that “I just don’t care anymore” I know now, that things just needed to evolve to a point where I could feel comfortable in sharing… which I did. I am so thankful for my mentors who taught me all about becoming a personal development coach. Thank you for giving me the opportunities in assisting others using the tools you have given me and the knowledge to help guide others through whatever they needed.
Now, I feel strongly and compelled to share how I am feeling about who I have grown and become because of those experiences as well as the clients and friends I have helped along the way. Truly those experiences have been a gift; to have crossed paths with such wonderful people, and you know who you are… but really, the courage it took to share your feelings and your most intimate circumstances with me. Kudos to you for having the strength and thank you! Not only did the situation get better for “you”, it taught me a ton about myself.
I feel that as I have grown, and learned to see with new eyes; giving me a different perspective was an outcome I could have never predicted! Once again, I have noticed that I have once again started to see things in an even broader perspective. Living life with love, love, love has enabled me to grow and see even more in life. Not only just “see” but to feel that deeper connection.
On one level or another all living things are connected and I am so grateful for the knowledge I have gained through everything and everyone. Thank you to knowing that I am loving every minute of life, every day!
Love and Light

Reaching new heights!
It is just another reminder to me of the brains way of keeping me in my "comfort zone"
This experience was so much fun that I am definitely going again!

Boy, where does the time go?
I have been busy living life and living with a new perspective.
I used to have a website and it's probably still connected to my profile and wherever I may have put it but I shut that down in February 2010... why?
A new perspective of life has me understanding that I must live in the moment; day by day! I do not need to cast it out to the world to get validation back. I just want to live, breathe and love every moment in time.
I just wanna say in short that life is wonderful; still all up in the air and living by the edge of my seat but life is good.
I'm happy and loving my life and all it has to offer.

According to OSHO... am I a lion or a camel???
Does it ever just feel like your floating through life? Not really taking certain actions by growth but just the day by day stuff that you would normally be doing…?
Living life day by day as each challenge comes and goes.
Making decisions based on your current level of awareness and power… Well I have a certain attachment that has a crutch that hinders me from dealing with my life ~versus~ cope-ing.
Why must I be so weak to give in? Someone once suggested that maybe it’s the attachment to someone who I loved very deeply, someone who gave me the security in a relationship with love and gratitude.
I feel as if my life has been a roller coaster going up and down and never really leveling out. I desire the challenges that come with dealing with it! I’m ready to play on a level playing field. Live LIFE! Just PLAY HARD!!!
My strength goes deep and I feel as if I need to make some changes.
Why because it alters my perception… maybe energizing but not healthy.
I do my part in being conscience of Mother Earth and my connection to what’s “GOOD”
Good for me, for you, and the others who are also connected.
IT’S all about purging… clearing the clutter… what now?
Oh yes it’s time…. I feel it burning… the desire to quit and reset the button. To start over
I have started over… so many times. I’m done! AND this time it’s going to be something big.
Something that goes deep: deep down to the core of my being and allows me to be here and now in every moment forward.
Meditate, meditate, meditate this is my challenge. To sit still and quiet…My brain just goes and goes and goes and then it just takes over and it’s over. This time it’s different. I’m ready to stop the cycle.
I did it in 2000 and I’ll do it again. But this time instead of doing it for someone else, I’m doing it for me.
I am grateful for that is all in my life, my awareness’s, and the power to be different.
Cheers!
