2/14/10 The intention of this site was to help anyone with abuse issues, losses or who have had
traumatic experiences. It is also for those who are interested. The site has been up for quite a while and I will continue
to keep it here mainly for those who want to read the pages. If you have had tough challenges and overcame them, hats off
to you! Those who still want or need a connection, the e-mail is always available. May the Light always shine on
you! With that being said...

Are you experiencing a difficult life change? There are many circumstances
we can control, but many we cannot. Through the years some may cause major turning points in our lives.
Life can be more difficult for some than it is for others. It's just the way it happens. What matters is how well
we rise after each experience or change. Sharing with an unconditional listener is a helpful
way to discover what we feel or want at some point. Our spirit begins to heal when the
decision is made to start looking within to find personal strength.
All choices contribute to our growth. I believe there is a reason
for everything in the grand scheme called life. During times of intense challenges the messages are difficult to see. Our
spirit is what keeps us moving forward. During stressful times or a traumatic event there may be a feeling that some part
of us is missing and we move through the day automatically. Experiencing stress overload is like looking but not seeing
and listening but not hearing. Self awareness is the key.
Denial keeps us from moving forward in our lives. Inner strength begins to grow when a decision is made to let go of
the emotional turmoil and pain. It is about attitude, choices, decisions and feelings.
Right or wrong our choices carry consequences we learn to
accept and move forward from. Personally, I have found that finally deciding is the most difficult part of making
a decision. It is making a commitment to personal beliefs and walking our talk. It is taking the first step to being
more in control of our own needs, whatever we choose that first step to be.
Conditioning of life, personal
losses, control of abuse and societal expectations are some of our molding influences. The days are filled with
doing what is expected. We fear or accept the judgments placed on us from family, friends or society in general. How
easy it is to forget who we are, what we want. How do you respond when you are posed with the question...why?
We all have two sides, but our so called shadow
side is kept hidden most of the time. It may be our creative expression, anger, negative attitude or secrets we have. The outer
personality is what is seen and more acceptable for the roles we fill in our daily responsibilities. It is
neccessary to acknowledge and accept both sides of ourselves so that we feel more whole and balanced. It is
when they are in conflict that the resulting anxiety causes problems.
Someone said to me long ago, "you cannot please everyone or save the world."
There may some be truth to those words. Is it possible that by caring, lending encouragement
and support that a difference can be made? Could this mean to let go of those who are not willing to do the
work of healing? It is a process, but always worth the effort. Reach out and ask for support from someone who is compassionate
and will listen without judgements. Begin to trust in yourself and the Powers of the Universe, whatever you
choose that to be or not to be.
These
pages as well as myself, will continue to be a work in progress. In the computer world this site may seem simple,
but it is the message here that matters. Maybe a quieter, more humble place is a refreshing break.
