When is it time to begin living life in glorious color… with intention and on purpose? When will you give
pain an exit route & take back your power? Here is the good news… You have the compass and map
– it’s within your heart and always has been.
The word “PAIN” has many connotations but when it’s bigger than life, It can change who you are.
For many of us, toxic relationships are a source of incredible anguish. Any dysfunctional bond has a price,
usually a high price: as you attempt to please and accommodate everyone but yourself.
The pain inflicted by these negative relationships is merely side one of the coin. The flip side is - the mutilating practice of Negative Self-Speak (those ugly scripts that run through our minds.) A loving and sane person would never tell a child he was stupid, worthless or unimportant… but WE WILL SAY THOSE THINGS TO OURSELVES.
What is the result? Living an invisibly painful life, justifying the unhappiness, forgetting hopes and dreams and a black and white existence when world out side is bursting with color!
You have a choice! The compass for finding wholeness and strength is deep within YOU. When you change your intention your direction will follow. Hiding then hoping your circumstances will magically be fixed is a lie.
You deserve a life of peace, joy and fulfillment. Awaken your life! Step out of the shadows and begin a deliberate pursuit of the spirit. –To Become Bigger Is Building Up, Building Up Means Tearing Down.
When muscles are asked to do more work they suffer minor tears. The muscle becomes sore.
These mini-injuries or tears are repaired while the body rests. Soon the muscle gets LARGER,
STRONGER than before! It is better able to handle the stress that caused the initial tears.
Pain, Fear and Sadness will shut you down and numb you. That numbness helps you self-protect
(pain’s cocooning effect). One woman lived for years that way. She was stuck there, afraid to become a butterfly, afraid to rock the boat. That woman was me.
My history is complex and includes a life changing illness, co-dependency and an extensive relationship with a man who showed me a dark side of love. The cost was immense and my spirit was starved like a malnourished child. Later a friend said to me, “Your light went out along time ago, it was like he just swallowed you up.”
I had to remake my life: no one could do it for me. I could never bring back the girl I once was but I would learn to get stronger and to celebrate my return to the world.
Some of us have been taught that we are not deserving of happiness or that it is somehow unattainable.
I fully believe…
If You Don’t Own Your Power - Someone Else Does.
Where are you on your road from pain to power? Are you done with the lie and ready leave the cocoon? Has Emotional Ricochet destroyed your spirit? You can move beyond this hopelessness, to create the meaningful life you were meant to live.
Wherever you are, whatever the circumstances, you are not alone. You have the ability to move forward … you have the compass right there in your heart. Quietly listen to that inner voice you have, and trust it! – (It was put there on purpose)
… Let the journey begin.

that makes one strong
- sometimes it's letting go.”
