OK,
so you came here probably expecting to see the same type of credentials
and background list of information so that you can be confident
I'm for real as well as what I have to offer will REALLY make
a difference in YOUR life OR those whom you hire me to speak
for...
I'm taking a different tack here and will
give you some of the "real story". The mess that I've
lived through and the blessings that I've received all along
the way that gives me something to share it with everyone I've
come in contact with. The path to a greater freedom.
It's not that I feel responsible for everyone.
I've met those - "It's my duty to save/change the world" types.
That's not me. I do believe that I am to share the secrets, the
tools and the gifts that I've acquired along the way and show
you how they can get you to the top of your mountain.
If you're interested in details
only - that's ok too - just click here and
you can read a short two paragraph bio.
For the rest of you - feel free to keep reading.
As an individual - which includes
being a person, a mom, a wife, a woman, a daughter, a business
owner, a speaker, a writer, a coach and a performer (and I'm
sure that
you have
your own that you can simply add to this list) I have made enough
mistakes
to really learn
the insides meaning of the phrase - "You may want to consider
... BEFORE you do..." and what it really means in terms
of success.
On the personal front, I was a bit disconnected
from people. I wanted friends, relationships and more to come "to" me
but I didn't let them "in". I had created a wall around
myself as a result of my own choices and decisions when my father
passed away shortly after my 4th birthday. Then a year later
when my mom attempted suicide I really put the lid on getting
close to people. I mean, if they were all going to die or leave
anyway, why let them in?
It's been in the last 3 years though using
the formula, that I've really been able to see how I've checked
out and played the part of the "good" girl, the friendly
person, screaming for connections inside and not willing to connect
at the same time. Seeing how I felt like I let my father down
when I asked for a "new daddy" even though I new there
was a problem there (my first step-father was a chronic schizophrenic
even though my mother and he stayed married for 7 years).
Even my baby sister died in a car accident
just before her 16th birthday with her funeral being on Valentine's
Day - and the day my first son was born.
In business I've explored a number of network
marketing business over the last 30 years, had several of my
own ideas that conceptually were sound but the execution or marketing
had left somewhat to be desired. I did fine working for others
and creating concepts, building their business', but I didn't
seem to make the same connection for my own business. It wasn't
until I made the connection to my parents situation where a story
was written by a local newspaper that spoke of a young, blind,
husband and father who took his blind goods out in a little red
wagon and struggled to provide for his young family.
Ultimately the connection was on several levels
- 1) To be in business for yourself MUST be a struggle and not
profitable, 2) Being in business for yourself ultimately ends
in death and 3) If I'm successful in business - it's dishonoring
to my parents because how dare I do better than they.
Such are the stories (programs) that we tend
to ignore but choose to let run our life.
As a writer - that story was a little more
convoluted. I almost hated English going through school and never
really excelled in the subject. As an adult I would write poems
and even went into business writing personalized singing telegrams
for a while doing a very good job. When anyone referred to me
as a writer though I would bristle and and would say "no
I'm not".
I remember one time having a very dear friend
say to me "I never knew you were such a gifted writer." and
I literally broke down in tears not even knowing why.
In the last couple of years I discovered my
predisposition to hating writing had to do with the beliefs and
decisions concerning "those who wrote". Doctors and
nurses wrote things and they wrote about people that were ill.
They didn't do any good either because when they write - people
die. It doesn't matter that it isn't "truth". What
matters is that it's what I believed. Bad people write and when
they do, people die.
Today it doesn't affect me that way and I
really enjoy writing.
There is a lot more - some in the book Handbook
for Freedom and a considerable amount on the website Sexual
Freedom For The Married Woman where it's all about the freedom
to enjoy an intimate relationship with our spouse - one of the
freedom's that I believe is a blessing - but one that is often
blocked by these same kind of stories. I know it was that case
for me.
