Release and Receive

I had some interesting conversations yesterday with friends who are high level professionals in different industries and was blown away by the amount of low self esteem, guilt, shame and fear they were carrying on their backs.  I was shocked because one would never know that they, of all people, had such feelings. 


Release these negative feelings and fears....for every situation is a learning experience, not a failure. Stop assuming that you are the cause of someone else's discomfort.  You are only powerful in your own experience, never someone else's. Dictate to yourself the person that you wish to be in every moment and enjoy the beauty of release and the joy of ease today. 

Feel, Trust and Act

When my daughter was still “cooking” in my belly, I would say to her, “one thing that I want to teach you, it is to FEEL, TRUST and ACT on your gut instinct.”  I am a firm believer that when we center ourselves, listen to and act on our own instinct, then we will be in alignment and on track to lead a happy, stress free life.  It took me years to actually practice my own advice because I was too preoccupied with keeping my, at the time, fragile inner ME together.

Two Choices

I was in the bank drive thru, at lunch time, today.  I felt lucky because no one was in line before me and I Knew I would be in and out.  I turned my car off and took my sun glasses off, like I normally do, simply to be polite.

The teller and I greeted one another, he took my information and he said that he would "be right back."  I was waiting for less than 30 seconds, when a woman pulled in back of me.  No big deal, right?  Maybe another minute went by, when the woman revved her engine, put her car in reverse, and made her tires squeal as she drove up along side of me yelling expletive language.

size 16, and migraines, and heartburn Oh My! by Pamela Horton

Five years ago, I was a size 16 and suffered from debilitating migraines and heartburn.  Pepcid and Imitrex were a norm for me.  Like many of you,  I was under a great deal of stress, for a number of reasons.  The main reason was that I had just lost my Mom to colon cancer.  It was her second battle with the disease in 8 years.  

I was confused as to why my maternal grandparents lived well into their ninety's while my Mom barely made it to age 68.  Why did my mother suffer and die from such an awful disease while my grandparents passed quietly of, well, old age?  My mother also battled with her weight over the years.  What was different?  I knew the answers, intuitively.  The real question quickly became, "Was I prepared to acknowledge the differences and be disciplined enough to make the necessary changes?"
