Complain all you want. Complain to everyone/anyone who is willing to listen, either for free (short term, before they get sick of you) or pay for shrinks, coaches, healers, doctors, voodoo priests (for all long as your cash is green)… But they get to walk away from your suffering… you do not. Where ever you …
I was a national sales person for many years. I could be on the road as much as three weeks a month and working 6 out of 7 days each of those weeks. I worked hard and made myself, and the company I represented, a lot of money. As I was nearing what would become known as …
Having been traumatized by chronic abuse, my healing required countless and various types of therapeutic treatments in order to achieve the level of health, for which I now both enjoy and feel profoundly grateful. There are many paths through and out of the dark “forest”, what I call the emotionally challenging times in life. …
The boxed set holder of books on cassette tape from the library was HUGE; the size of those fat yellow pages…like the ones I used to sit on so that I could see over the steering wheel to drive. After listening to the first tape, I was hooked. I was so drawn into the stories …
If I Only Had One Moment in Time to Give a Message, this is what I would say~ Every good and bad thing that has been done to you is ONLY because the person who did it thought it would give him/her something they believe they needed.Be it power, satisfaction, value, respect, revenge, love… …
I am reading a book called “Start with Why” by Simon Sinek. He explains the power behind starting every endeavor firmly planted on the foundation of the WHY you are doing (blank). So I thought Id try to write it out… easier said than done… here’s what I came up with: Why: I believe …
Welcome to CrazyVille…(also known as the time in my life when all I could eat I was a turkey subway sandwich for breakfast, lunch and dinner). It’s all I could get down because of my panic… Today I bought a subway sandwich and ate it with absolutely no issue whatsoever. I’ve come a long way baby! …
Most mornings I start my day with coffee and something that reminds my fear-based human mind that I, and everyone else, comes from, remains in, and will return to…love. I heard it once, and I love simple analogies that every living being is like a drop of the ocean. We are not the ocean… …
Each new day used to mean a new day to “survive the after effects of surviving.” I call it “surviving the surviving.” It took a very long time to train my brain to look at a new day, and frankly everything, in a new way. It doesn’t happen overnight or even after years of …
How do you heal from the emotional boo-boos from childhood? Acknowledge them. Just because they may not be visible to others, doesn’t mean they aren’t right there under the surface. Every once in awhile you may see a little glimpse, or accidentally crash into them. Every lake has rocks. Big ones, little …
Healing is not a destination, depending on one’s reaction to trauma. Mind you, NOT the amount of trauma. Healing can be a lifestyle. It can be something you have to dance with every day, or some days, or monthly and seasonally… When something “comes up for me,” I remember something or I get triggered. I …
A person who has consistently been mean asked a very close friend of mine if “she stays as far away from social media as possible…” out of embarrassment of being associated with me. Ouch. Everyone.
