A Case of the Ugly

 

I’m a nice, pretty easy going person, always willing to look at all sides of an issue; comfortable in the gray areas and rarely defined as a black and white kind of gal. Until this month! I read that we are moving out of duality as part of the universal shift and that made sense, however I was totally unprepared as to how that would show up in my life as my ego has not been able to keep calm and as they say, just carry on.

The past month I have had an overwhelming anger that wells up inside of me. As I mentioned, I am very amicable, always see all sides to an issue and diplomacy oozes from my veins.  But sometime during the month of June, an ugly fairy, I believe it might have been Ursula, squatted on my chest and allowed the ogre inside me to loom large. Normally if something is amiss I have a way of cloaking it in a nice way and presenting a case where everyone feels good about the issues, even if we are in disagreement. This energy I have been experiencing HAS NO FILTERS! No more playing nice, in fact I can’t force a compliment from my lips because the caustic truth is pouring out so fast.

Perhaps this is not such a bad thing in the fact that I really have been able to cut to the chase in discussions.  However there haven’t been many conversations because I have been such a nasty person nobody wants to be around me! As you can imagine, much of June has been spent in silent contemplation, except when the anger monster rears its head and I have to let a little spew out.

As we move out of duality we begin to see the expansiveness in all things and look to greater potentials. That is why I was so perplexed that my journey was so fraught with irritability. My guides explained it as follows:

When you move from a fixed position of duality into the realm of infinite possibilities, the human side of you hangs on. It was the ego that was hanging on for dear life, for it knows there is little room for it to act out on the higher dimensions. Part of that ego expression was in the form of anger at things that you felt were not correct or right on a larger, more universal level.

You were not wrong in your assessment, for the situations were not being handled correctly for the greater good. You actually were not coming from a point of judgment but rather a point of logic and the higher part of you was exasperated that those in question would not see the simple truth. The fact that there were no filters was to show you how much you do soft-pedal your conversations with others and to show how intense the truth can be. We see you as coming to a point of non-attachment and balance for in the future you will not mince words, but you will regain some of your softness in the delivery.

Thankfully the 20th was the summer Solstice which marked the halfway point of the year. The past six months have been a mish mash of releasing old ideas and paradigms while feeling stuck. Currently we are in Mercury Retrograde which further mires us in stand-still energy. There was a lifting at the Solstice, a clearing away and a heaviness that was released for me. I felt it go and with it so did the anger. Last week several situations came up that had been hot buttons previously and interestingly they held little emotional charge and quite honestly I didn’t really care anymore. My clinging ego was silent and I was back to a place where I was easily managing expectations, by not having any.

As we head into the final half of the year, we will continue the clearing of the past and letting go of anything that does not serve us. During this time, don’t be too hard on yourself. Know that every fiber of your being is going through transition and a lot of changes are occurring that are not obvious to our human brains.

 Staying flexible and allowing these shifts to occur makes the ride easier. However do not get alarmed if you suddenly have an attack of the uglies like I did. As the guides said, it is simply your ego letting go and may be a case of the universe showing you up close and personal the truth of a situation. Hopefully you will have loving friends and family who will be willing to wait it out until the true you comes out on the other side. A little more Ariel and less of Ursula is appropriate!

Since so many of you are being challenged physically, spiritually, emotionally and financially, I would like to offer my services to you from July 1^st through the 27^th at a reduced rate. Readings will be offered at a discounted rate of $50 (regularly $100) and hypnotherapy sessions for $150 (normally $200).

Care and Feeding of Your Inner Child

The mention of Inner Child healing work is enough to make grown men…and women, cry.  Literally.

What is it about this subject matter that produces an instant dread in people and keeps a major segment of adults from investigating what’s in their past that might be affecting their future?

In popular and analytical psychology, the “inner child “is our childlike aspect that includes all that we learned and experienced before puberty. John Bradshaw, a U.S. educator, psychologist and self-help movement leader famously used “inner child” to point to unresolved childhood experiences and the lingering effects of this dysfunction.  In this way, “inner child” refers to the sum of mental-emotional memories stored in the sub-conscious from conception through pre-puberty.

The Twelve-Step recovery program considers healing the inner child to be one of the essential stages in recovery from addiction, abuse, trauma or post-traumatic stress disorder.

Carl Jung is often referenced as the originator of the concept in his Divine Child archetype and has led to the characterization of it being a sub-personality that lives within each psyche.

There are three ways that therapists can understand and define the inner child:

1)      The Magical Child: Playful, fun, spontaneous, full or wonder and magic. This is the part of the child who has never been wounded or damaged.

2)      The Adapted Child: In order to survive, a child trying to be a grown-up. Adaptive behaviors, sub personalities, are aspects. “Good Girl” and “Bad Girl” may both be adapted children. It’s the way we learned to survive and receive approval as children.

3)      The Wounded Child: A metaphor for the wounded parts of our childhood which have not completed the developmental tasks of that period. The memories of a particular time of childhood may be suppressed due to emotional pain, but that “child” lives on within the subconscious, waiting to be cared for and nurtured, waiting to get its needs met. But not every child archetype is that of the Wounded Child, you may have aspects of the Adapted Child and hopefully some of the Magical Child.

David Quigley, creator of Alchemical Hypnotherapy described this modality as follows:  The metaphor of the Inner Child is a tool through which we can identify and heal those wounded places within ourselves where early needs have been unmet and feelings denied. It provides us with the opportunity to re-live our childhoods in a new way that meets these needs of those repressed parts of ourselves and restore us to wholeness.

It is in the Wounded Child syndrome that the pieces that are waiting to be cared for and nurtured often show up in our adult lives. Look at a typical day at the office and you’ll see many “children” running around trying to be seen, heard and praised, sometimes rather loudly. Going back and rescuing the child is a wonderful, healing experience and can make a dramatic difference in your life. Through the use of Alchemical Hypnosis, it is possible to revisit the childhood events, clear the trauma, change the events and rescue the child, facilitating integration to take place.

If you are having  issues , most likely they are linked to a childhood dysfunction. Contact me for a session in Alchemical Hypnotherapy and begin the clearing process. People who have been my clients claim more work is done in a 2-3 hour session than they have accomplished through years of therapy. After experiencing multiple inner child healing modalities, this is the most expedient and successful one I have found. The process works, don’t put it off any longer!!

Join in this upcoming workshop to learn excellent tools for finding and nurturing your child.

Enough Already....It's Time to Let it Go!

Enough already! Daily I see people struggling with limiting beliefs, past experiences that haunt them and in tremendous emotional pain. When I connect for guidance with my Archangels and Ascended Masters the answers I'm getting is “enough is enough.”

Last week I saw a woman who had a traumatic childhood and had spent years in therapy trying to come to terms with the experiences. As we were working the angels informed me  the woman had suffered her entire life, she didn’t need to spend additional time working through it, all she needed to do was surrender the pain and ask that it be taken from her.

 Sounds a bit simplistic I know, especially to those of us who have spent countless hours on a therapist’s couch. But our rate of manifesting has sped up and therefore our ability to heal has followed suite.  I believe it is now possible to get rid of all the old ideas that no longer serve us and to move past the painful memories and heal.

For many an important step in the process is understanding the patterns we have created and why. These can be uncovered easily through a series of simple exercises. Once you have unearthed the repeated behavior you’ve created and understand what you were trying to do in the process, it is time to eliminate them.

Intention is the act of declaring what you want in your life. This can be through a simple statement, an affirmation or a letter to the universe. Next you ask that the experience, idea, thought pattern or whatever it is you are intending to go away be taken from you. In essence, this is surrendering, asking your guides, teachers, angels, and others to intercede and eliminate what no longer serves you and is not a positive force in your life. Lastly you must believe with all your heart that a healing will take place. By calling on your guides, you put them in alignment with your highest good. In turn it is important that you believe and trust that it will be taken, resolved and absolved. Remember our guides cannot assist us if we don’t ask them, it is called the Law of Non-Interference. But as soon as you ask, they answer the call and assist. The lag time some of us experience is often an issue, hence the need to truly believe it will happen then let go of the outcome.

Many of us have been attached to the stories we have been telling about our lives for a long time. We continue like a cow sauntering along the same rutted path daily, going back over the familiar material again and again, often wearing it like a badge of courage. This is a time of great awakening and renewal, perhaps the best thing you could do was give up the narrative and create a happier tale in its place. We don’t have to carry our hurts and experiences with us forever. It doesn’t make us stronger to do so, it just bogs us down. Join with me in declaring May” Enough Already” month and let’s heal and write a new script for our lives. It’s time.

When Your Inner Child Calls…Answer! We all have issues from the past that still seem to plague us in the present. Often these date back to something that occurred in our childhood. To an adult a seemingly minor issue could loom large through the eyes of a child. Moving forwards and growing is difficult when we have unresolved emotions from our past. Most of us don’t know where to begin to look for answers. For many this can take a life-time of therapy, but Spiritual Counselor, Hypnotist and Channel Becky Arrington has developed innovative techniques to help the healing begin in an experiential evening.  

Understand patterns of behavior you have created over and over since childhood.

Communicate with your Inner Child through exercises that allow you to access your Subconscious and Higher Self.

Travel back in time to find and integrate your Child through a guided meditation that will begin the healing process.

 When Your Inner Child Calls...Answer!

We choose our parents before we are born. Hard to believe, but we are responsible as souls before we incarnate to select people who will give us certain experiences for our learning. It’s like being a director in our play, casting all the parts, with us as the star.

Even if on the surface you did not have a traumatic childhood, there are still parts that get stuck in our subconscious festering, waiting for us to get tired of the pain they cause and heal. These missing pieces manifest in disease, discontent and discord.

As our awareness and consciousness expands and opens during this mass awakening on the planet, these old issues come up for review and have to be cleared.

A lot of us spend our entire lives trying to push away the things that nag at us. Yet the problems never vanish. Long term avoiding eventually causes the nudges to become stronger until they become impossible to ignore. Challenges develop played out in our daily life through relationships, health or work and cause havoc. After living amongst the chaos caused by buried emotions, eventually the pain becomes too much to maintain because the concerns infiltrate every facet of your life.

Finally there is nothing left to do but face your fears and deal with them. Unfortunately there are no shortcuts and the only way to healing is through exploring the past. Most of the challenges can be traced to an event from childhood. The fact that your daddy didn’t pay enough attention to you as a child could be one of the reasons you are needing extra pats on the head in relationships or at work and are labeled needy. Or as detailed in Louise Hay’s “You Can Heal Your Life” many diseases are rooted in infancy through adolescent events.

As an adult the childhood incident may seem inconsequential, but remember you were a child at the time and your cognitive skills were not very sophisticated. When I mentioned earlier that you didn’t have to experience a horrendous childhood for things to become lodged in your subconscious, just think about how a child interprets the work and you begin to understand how certain events may have become skewed.

What is interesting about the new energy the world is experiencing during this time of awakening is it hastens healing. What might have taken years in therapy to work through in the past, can be erased in a much shorter amount of time.

Even if you have engaged in inner child work before, you may find some old patterns returning for a final look. This is part of the process and it’s a way the universe has in giving us one last chance to make sure you’re truly finished with those thoughts and behaviors.

Being in a director in your own production is a hard concept to imagine, especially if you created “A Nightmare on Elm Street.” But taking a 10,000 foot view of the situation will help explain why you created the scenes for your growth and make the healing easier.

Baby It's Cold Outside!

As temperatures plummet and the energy rises, I am finding the need for added protection. Adding exterior layers likes scarves, vests and coats protects from the weather elements, but we often forget to add extra energy padding. Daily I call for additional light to surround me to help any negativity easily bounce off and not penetrate into my physical body.  If you do not have a daily meditation of some sort where you bring in spiritual protection, I urge you to adopt one. It doesn't have to be a long involved meditation, a simple prayer asking for a shield or bubble of light around you works great. By adding this extra layer of energetic protection, you are helping yourself buffer against some of the harsh energies that are around, both from the universe and from other people.

With the dawning of the Age of Aquarius December 21st, 2012 wonderful new energies are being beamed to the earth, however having that much light awakens the old darker forces and there is a bit of a battle going on right now. This isn't something you necessarily are involved in or see, although many of you spiritual warriors out there are battling nightly. This is a natural cause and effect of balancing the energies. These new light waves are also stronger in intensity, therefore there is a certain amping up our bodies must do in order to raise our vibration. Again this isn't something you consicously do, it just happens. But in the process it can be discomforting and sometimes we need some added assistance.

Each of us has a legion of angelic beings around us, who are waiting to assist. The Law of Non-Interference prevents them from helping without permission. It's easy to ask for help, and your guides are ready to assist, but remember they cannot interfere without your go ahead. During my public channeling in January a meditation came in from my Ascended Master and Angelic group the Council of We (Wise and Enlightened) to be shared. This is a beautiful experience where the guides give us a Cloak of Consciousness to help protect from the strong energies we are currently feeling.

Meditation: The Cloak of Consciousness

  First of all we want to honor you for the light you have held and the energy you have maintained in the past month and in fact, the past several years. It was not always an easy ride for you and even though you have made it through what we call the birth canal into the world, your journey has merely just started. It has taken a tremendous toll on your souls and on your physical bodies and we wish to activate for you the Cloak of Consciousness to give you an added layer of protection. This is an energetic protection so you no longer have to use numbing substances like alcohol, poor eating, diversions, and all the other things you humans substitute to take you out of your consciousness and into a space of void. This void is your protection. Some do it with food for that helps ground them, or smoking or a number of other activities. This Cloak will act as the protection you need to help guard against some of the harsh energies that are around now.

For you see as more light comes in, more darkness comes to the surface and although you may have had a wonderful birth, the aftermath has been challenging. This is something that will assist and cushion the blows of the upcoming months.

Please close your eyes and we want you to envision a light in your third eye chakra. As you look at this light, it will continue to get bigger and brighter, widening and expanding until your entire vision is filled with light. As you continue to stare at this bright white light you will see a dark figure emerge out of the center. It is a human, in fact it is your own personal guide who is here to bestow this gift upon you.

As they walk closer to you, you notice there is something they are carrying, for some it is much like a scarf, for others more like a vest and yet for others it is a full coat. The differences in the outer garments mean nothing, it is just what your own individual human body needs for its own protection. As the guide moves closer you look into their eyes and see the gentleness of spirit and the wisdom of the ages. This unconditional love is woven into the fabric of your garment. The knowledge of the eons before you are sewn into the seams. Accept the gift of the fabric and wear it proudly, for you are special. You have been chosen to spread your love and light to others and this garment will not only mark you as a way shower but also protect you from the storms of energy about to descend upon you. Know that this garment will act like a shield and deflect anything that is not of love and light. Take a moment and share with your guide your feelings and questions. If they do not communicate with you, do not be alarmed, for there are no words necessary. If you do not envision this exchange, trust in your heart that it did take place. When you are complete, thank them for such an honorable gift.

Through our intentions, all things are possible. In our day to day we often forget to be intentional, to ask for help and to set up our lives to be easy. Taking some extra time in the morning to envision the type of day you would like, along with calling in an extra layer of energetic protection can do more than eating your Wheaties to start your day off right.

As a special Valentine's Day gift, I am offering individual channeled sessions for $75 during the month of February, a discount of $25. I have gift certificates available if you would like to share with a special someone, or that special someone could be you! It's a great gift to give yourself the wisdom of the Masters.

New Year's Message from the Masters

January 1, 2013

Dearest sons and daughters of the light,

  We address you this first day of your calendar year to  congratulate you for getting to the other side so to speak. Now for all intensive purposes, not much has changed in your world, to the visible eye. Yet on an energetic and spiritual level, great changes have occurred. Going through the intense vibratory shift that happened in December from the 12^th to the 21^st took great fortitude and balance, for many of you were clearing out lifetimes of debris in order to make that transition. And it was made, for all of mankind. Those of you who were “aware” understand that you held the space and the energy for all of the universe to make that shift. Although on this first day of the new year, nothing really looks or feels different. It goes back to what we have been saying; trust, allow and know that it is in motion. You do not have to have the constant affirmation that things are a changin’for you “know” it in your heart, mind and in your soul. Be good with that, sit with it, trust that it has happened and allow what is next to occur.

 One of the biggest changes you will begin to see is there will be an overall feeling of connectedness and unity. Your political debacle currently occurring in Washington although on one hand  epitomizes  dysfunction, by the same token it is banding the citizens together in a shared outrage. You will begin to see more and more of this as individuals begin to awaken and realize they do have a say in their future. This communing with neighbors and acquaintances will continue the rest of the year, as more and more people begin to form citizen groups and begin to formulate plans to be heard by Washington. It will take this type of collaboration to get the attention of those who are in government, for the lone voice is not enough. We wish not to spend too much time on your politics, however it is interesting to see how this lack of movement and cohesiveness in your government will be the very thing that will catapult the individual citizens into forming action committees. Something for you all to think about, for you do have tremendous power when you connect together.

Lastly today we want to address the power within each of you and how best to utilize that tool. Your first step is recognizing that you have it. You have the power to create and do absolutely anything you want in the world. Your only limitation is yourself. All your past problems and concerns have been self-inflicted, therefore any hesitation in forward movement carries the same person at the helm…you. Know that it is all within your grasp and yours for the taking, you just have to figure out what you want to create. But a word to the wise, the energy currently has tremendous manifesting abilities that have a short response time. Watch your words and thoughts, for they are coming a reality almost instantaneously.

It is with extreme pleasure and excitement that we speak with you today. Great things are going to happen this year, believe in your own ability to create them and all is possible. There are no limitations.

Adonai,

Ascended Master Kathumi and the Council of WE (Wise and Enlightened) as channeled through Becky Arrington.

The End of the World...Or Just The World As We Know It?

 The past month I have been channeling both publically and privately more than ever before and there has been one particular theme that continues to surface during every  session…the need to clear. We are being urged to rid ourselves of old emotions, patterns and paradigms. With the new energies coming in, we will no longer be able to hang on to that old emotional baggage we’ve been carrying around for most of our lives or continue to have those limiting beliefs.

Most people aren’t sure how to start or what to do in the monumental task of clearing. The process now can be very quick and doesn’t require years on a therapy couch. Simply acknowledging you are the director in your own play of life, and that you’ve created everything that has happened to you is the first step…which is a major one. Most of us don’t want to take the responsibility of being the architect in what we have created. But you determine who you asked to be the actors, what was the story line,  what happened, the lessons learned and lastly what gifts did you take away from it?  By taking a pragmatic approach, you can quickly list the major events in your life, relationships, traumas, etc and spend some time reviewing and clearing away the old emotional debris.

You may be indigently crying, “but I did that already.” True you may have, but this is a last pass before these energies shift. And in addition, you have never been at this high of a vibrational level before and you’ll see things in a different light.

There are nine days between 12/12/12 and 12/21/12 which is when the Age of Aquarius ushers in and the planets align bringing in a whole new batch of energies. You may choose not to do anything in response to this, and that is fine.  Rest assured, spirit will give you the lessons regardless. My suggestion is that you be proactive and do some of the heavy lifting yourself to ensure you are paying close attention to the details of your life before the universe gives you the lessons in its own way, which is not always the most gentle.

Here is a series of public channelings I have done in the past month. Please open with Windows Media Player and enjoy.

12/12 Channeling Atlanta, GA-Open with Windows Media Player

Teatrees Boutique  and Spa Channeling Blue Ridge, GA

Lifestream Center Channeling Roanoke, VA

I would also like to share an activation which was given in the 12/12 channeling in Atlanta. This will help set the stage for you to clear more easily and effortlessly. Wishing you the best in this exciting time of transition! Love and Light, Becky

12/12/12 and 12/21/12 Activation

I am one with my I AM presence and welcome all my guides, angels, loved ones in spirit and teachers to come forth at this time to assist in clearing anything unresolved in my physical, mental, spiritual, emotional, etheric and causal bodies. It is with an open heart and intense desire that this clearing prepares me in every way to absorb and integrate the powerful heart energies coming in the next 10 days.

 I accept the mantle of service and wear it proudly for this is my life’s purpose to be here during this time and to share my experiences and healing with others as they make their transitions. Through this clearing and activation, my passage into this new energy will be balanced and smooth, allowing me to pass into the next dimension with effective ease.

At this time I relinquish any and all issues or experiences I have been holding onto, old paradigms and patterns that no longer serve me and thought forms that are not of my highest and greatest good. I celebrate the new energies flowing forwards and accept each shift with gratitude. I am blessed to be a part of this process and willingly transcend into the next dimension with grace. I believe that this is so…so be it.

3 Days of Light Gathering...Passing the Torch

“3 Days of Peace and Music” was the motto of Woodstock in 1969, yet also described an incredible weekend recently  in Asheville, NC at the “3 Days of Light Gathering.” Just a mere 43 years later, we are just now truly dawning the Age of Aquarius and the attendees, much like before, were focused on peace, love and harmony.

 Walking into the dining hall the first evening when the volunteers arrived, had me calculating the age difference  and feeling very geriatric, until I realized  Sacred Geometry artist Charles Gilcrest was older than I was! But who’s counting? These were kids- darling, open, spiritually hungry kids. But don’t let their age fool you; these are very old wise souls with an important agenda before them.  

Although as a speaker I had wisdom to share, this was anything but a one way experience. I soaked up incredible information from each and every person I met and quickly understood that they were born this way and their time had come.

The first night of the festival,  I spoke at a cabin at the top of the mountain with the cold wind whipping through the screened windows, yet the hearts in the room were warm and open. It was a powerful message to each of them to hold the space for the upcoming weekend and addressed their future work in the world. I realized then that the old Woodstock crowd (of which I was a part of) had been holding the energy for so many years, waiting for these enlightened ones to grow up and take our place.

My main channeling was scheduled in the dining hall Saturday morning. Watching the sleepy eyed people stumbling to wake up and eat, I decided to grab a mic and work the breakfast crowd of around 100. That made much more sense than trying to form a smaller group up front and compete with clanging dishes, I just spoke over them. The questions were insightful and inquisitive and it quickly became apparent just how interested this group was for practical spiritual knowledge. I spoke for two hours on a variety of subjects and ended with a guided meditation where everyone in the room met with their guides.  Quite a few people eloquently shared their experiences, all with amazing detail and understanding.

 Afterwards and throughout the weekend, many continued to ask for more information. One girl shared with me that the talk was the most succinct, clear, step by step, practical information she had ever heard.  Fortunately there were several other opportunities to teach and channel throughout the weekend, including a private group in the Magical Love Bus, yes shades of Woodstock indeed!

One young girl asked to join me for lunch. With her dred locks and long skirt, I assumed she was a traveler making the festival circuit. Upon further discussion, I learned she was traveling alright, but to gain support and funding for her non-profit which was to help feed children.  Never assume anything. 

These kids were the wisest, most tapped in group I have ever met, totally focused on expanding their consciousness and making a difference in the world. Couple that with their technical knowledge and penchant to share their learning and make the world a better place and the potential is limitless.

 I have newfound hope after this gathering and look forwards to more opportunities to connect.  I, like many others of my generation have been holding the space, light and energy for many years waiting for the world to catch up and come to its full consciousness.  I’ll continue to share my wisdom helping others awaken, but will gladly pass the torch to this beautiful generation of kids who want so much for the world and have the energy and imagination to create it.

I would like to share the following testimonial from the 3 Days of Light Gathering:

We met a few times at this weekend’s gathering in Asheville, NC. I attended your talk in Eden Hall as well as the session in the Summit House! I wanted to reach out and thank you for opening me into this new realm of living! Of course i have 1000 questions but my intention is not to ask you all of them. I would love to hear the recordings you did of the channels this weekend! I am deeply interested in knowing more about myself from past lives but at this point am unsure how to obtain this information. I learned this weekend that i will be able to find a lot of these answers within myself but was also hoping you might be able to direct me in the right direction! I intend on finding a spiritual coach to help me with this also, or perhaps multiple coaches. I do not wish to stop the immense growth in energy i obtained this weekend and i thought the best first step would be to reach out to those who opened my eyes! Again thank you so much for your guidance this weekend and i will see you the next time i have the opportunity! I hope you enjoyed the weekend as much as i did!

 

Ruby Slipper Revelations

When Glenda the Good Witch informed a bewildered Dorothy that she indeed had the power all along to have anything she wished for embodied in the ruby slippers, including a trip back to Kansas, we all took a collective sigh. Imagine possessing something that amazing yet not having a clue?

We all have our own pair of Ruby Slippers and rarely realize or employ their magical abilities; to create, to heal,  basically to have anything we want.  The key is understanding we possess that power within ourselves and then learn how to use it. Our thoughts and words are how we manifest. Nobody else can tell you what to think or say, or keep you creating what you want in the world. But by the same token, you are also the only one who can block those creations from happening…again through your words and thoughts.  And THAT is the issue.  

If we are the only ones who can create and we are the only ones who block things from working out, that means whatever is happening in our world is our own doing. Pretty much rules out the role of victim, huh?. How much of our own success and happiness do we prevent through not believing we are worthy or don’t possess the ability to succeed? Do you spend more time thinking up excuses as to why you can’t have something instead of determining ways to get it? People spend an inordinate amount of time arguing for their own limitations.

Sure there are mitigating circumstances or events that occur in our lives that we may think are the reason for a failure, but those are merely rooted in your own original thoughts, and is the way the universe  brings those ideas or feelings to fruition. Look back over events in your life both positive and negative with this new filter and determine what thoughts did you hold that were the true cause for the occurrence at the time.

This realization will open up a whole new world, for it puts you in full control of everything that happens in your life. It all originates with your words and thoughts, no matter how fleeting. They are the most  important tools we have, treat them with intention and respect. Too often we have a cavalier attitude in what we say or think, as if they didn’t matter. In order to be better disciplined, imagine whatever you say or think will happen 3 minutes afterwards and see if you aren’t more careful.

Then click your heels three times and make it so!

T is for Tolerance...Reflections on Gay Pride 2012

As I was watching the Gay Pride parade from the corner of Peachtree and 10^th in Atlanta, I was struck by how far the movement had come. Thousands of people lined the streets; gay, straight, lesbian, transgendered, bi-sexual, a-sexual, dogs, cats, kids, conservatives, liberals all in support of diversity.

How can there still be intolerance and in some cases, actual hate, when so much progress has been made? How can we still deny basic rights to couples? If so many people come out in support, why can’t we pass a marriage amendment ? Try to imagine what it would be like to have a loved one in the hospital and you’re unable to visit or make important decisions because you’re not legally married. A scenario few actually consider when they adamantly oppose gay marriage.

Although the parade was still a Mardi Gras atmosphere of campy drag queens, dykes on bikes,  skimpily clad fly boys and leather wearing macho men, there was another contingency represented…corporate America.  Coca-Cola, Delta, Frito Lay, Whole Foods, General Motors, JC Penney, Newell Rubbermaid, Turner Broadcasting, CNN, UPS, AT&T, Wells Fargo and Home Depot were among some of the corporate groups represented.  Hooray it’s going mainstream, yet I had to question if their participation was in true support of gay rights or had they tapped into a strong consumer demographic? In fairness, most had  large groups of workers who were marching loud and proud, but the Frito Lay presence was merely a large cheetah walking alongside a gigantic logoed truck handing out snack packs. It seemed like blatant pandering for future sales( although with further research I did find out they were a sponsor of the festival) but it was in sharp contrast to the exuberant UPS employees who were clearly marching for their own personal choices, not to further the spoils of their employer.

The day was filled with touching moments; a huge group of LGBT youth filling the streets; white cloaked angels carrying pictures of people who had suffered and died at the hand of others for their beliefs and lifestyle; hundreds of parents from PFLAG celebrating their son’s and daughter’s diversity, many churches  and religious organizations, and my own personal favorite The Gay Fathers of Atlanta. I’ve spent the last 10+ years working with this group as a leader in the Straight Spouse Network and later as a supporter of families in transition.

 In 1994 my husband of 17 years came out to me. Suddenly thrust down the rabbit hole of disbelief and change, my children and I slowly made the climb out as we came to realize how difficult owning that decision was for him. At the time it would have been far easier to lead a secret life. He had no choice in being gay, the choice was in being honest about his feelings and life, no matter how that affected others. 

I hope in the future there will be no need for a Gay Pride Parade, that the same rights and liberties will be afforded to all and there are no differences. The options others make in their personal lives have no bearing on mine. Even when my husband’s decision did affect my life, I lovingly accepted him, although sometimes kicking and screaming. I honor his choice and his courage to make it.

In the ABCs of life,  along with T for Tolerance, I am also asking you to embrace the letter A for allowance.  Try to adopt a more accepting stance and allow others to make their own decisions, even if you don’t agree. Let’s give everyone the legal right to live and love the people they choose.

Life's a Treasure...Start Digging!

As you go spelunking around the recesses of your mind clearing out the debris of the past; love gone wrong , mommy dearest , being chosen last for a team, a difficult boss or a host of other issues cluttering your psyche, it is important to find the gift in each occurrence. Sure it is hard to find even a glimmer of a bright spot in many circumstances, but it is there.

All the happenings in your life were there for a reason and you created them yourself. What!!??   I know, it’s difficult to think that you may have conjured up an illness or a messy marriage, but it is important to dig into the crisis from a higher perspective to understand WHY you developed it. When we get above situations we can view them more pragmatically to determine the dynamics and the players involved. I use the term “players” because I often employ the scenario of a play to look at past events. If this is my production, I have chosen these people to be the actors and this is the plot.

Using this technique gets you out of the emotional space and into a more diagnostic frame of mind. Dissect and examine the story, the different  twists, the setting and the interactions of those involved. Through the eyes of the director you can begin to see why the event took place, the role others played in your growth and eventually what was the gift you received from it.

Too often people clear old issues and understand the reason they created them, but fail to find the riches they received in the process. There is always a reward.  It is not always obvious and could take some deeper digging, but the more you look for the present, the more you may find.

Life’s a treasure, happy hunting!

The Party's Over

Whether you decided on a political party based on influences from your parents, friends, partners or on your own, too often we blindly accept national platforms and assume their creators have our best interests at heart. After being inundated with bombastic political speeches, fuzzy numbers and  empty promises from both factions during their recent  national conventions, I have decided to stop the party and figure out on my own what does and doesn’t make sense.   I admit, listening to politicians puts me in a stupor and I rarely hear what they are saying, not to mention understand it all. Which brings me to my personal action plan this campaign season; INVESTIGATE, ENGAGE and ACT.

Researching all the points to a plan is important.  Politicians would NEVER pander to special interest groups, but it is still necessary to fully read the issues and platforms and make sure you believe and agree with what they represent.  With the party marketing machines clearly directing media coverage, our reliance on sound bites and snippets to inform us makes it doubly important to examine the facts before formulating beliefs.

Typically I avoid political discussions. Like religion, it is safer not to talk about it. However with my action plan in place, the second point is to engage. My fear of facing a staunch supporter of either party is lessened if I am confident in my own knowledge of the facts and have good questions. Begin having heartfelt conversations with friends and family to understand why they believe the way they do and to express where you stand on the issues.  If in fact you have completed the first step and explored the points, having a spirited debate should give you an opportunity to flesh out the fine details. If they are merely quoting the party platform or parroting a canned statement from the media, asking specific questions regarding  the issue could prompt them to do what you’ve already done and delve into the heart of the topic further.

The final phase is to move into action, to go the next step and do something to initiate change. We feel pretty helpless as citizens, especially this campaign season if you aren’t a voter in one of the swing states. Communicating with others regarding the important matters in our community and country, allows you to find and gather with like-minded people.  Creativity flows when groups convene, especially if the people involved are not bogged down with trying to get re-elected. Develop an action plan based on issues you and others feel passionate about and share it. Do the research as to what the channels for change  are and stay focused on a positive outcome. Amazing results happen when two or more people come together .

Washington doesn’t have all the answers. The power for change must come from the people. I don’t know the exact steps in getting heard, but what I do know is when pockets of citizens come together for the good of the whole, change will start to happen . We can turn this country around when we understand the issues, communicate and connect with others and then move into action for programs and plans that are good for everyone. If enough of us take the first steps, suddenly the collective cry will be too loud to ignore.

Join with me this campaign season by declaring the Party’ Over and take the initiative to INVESTIGATE, ENGAGE and ACT to develop your own opinions and thoughts about the issues. Find your voice and share it.
