Options: Insist on knowing them….

Click her for Audio When we received the diagnosis that I had breast cancer we were overwhelmed, flabbergasted and down right beside ourselves. To receive such a diagnosis is devastating and it sends you into a world of many unknowns. To say we were scared is an understatement. Not only were we terrified were very vulnerable and clueless. We were numb and for a bit sat in silence. My thoughts were split. On the one hand I was wondering What the F&#k!!!!!!! I wanted to scream, cuss or light something up. The other part of me felt utterly defeated. What more could I deal with? They say God doesn’t give you anymore than you can handle. Well, at that point, I felt like God had gotten me mixed up with someone else, because I was done. I had been through enough over the last couple of years and now this. For crying out loud enough was enough. We were so blown out of the water that we just went with what we were told in the beginning. I don’t recall being offered an advocate

Hiking for Me!

Click here for Audio Hiking is such a privilege and so much can be gained from it. I am so grateful for where I live in Arizona, especially with regards to hiking. Actually, just about anywhere you live in the valley of the sun you will have trails to hike within minutes. I see it as a privilege because I am physically able to hike. There was a period of time when I was not and that was very hard to deal with. So, I focused on healing and here I am nearly ten years later hiking as often as I can. In past years I kind of took hiking for granted. It had been something we did when we wanted to get out and couldn’t think of anything else to do. Never really seeing it for all it really was. I have come to realize that hiking is multidimensional. The act of hiking, in itself, is exercise whether it is climbing or not.

Everyone is capable of Super Powers!

Click here for Audio Yes you do, I do, everyone does! It is a matter of figuring it out.  Sooooo, what is YOUR Super Power? My vision boards utilizing my Super Power of Creativity No, I have not lost my mind and I am not off my rocker. Read on if you dare to learn about something new! Maybe that something new will be about you….     In my humble opinion there are three elements to declaring a Power to be a Super Power.  The first element of a Super Power is something you’re extraordinarily good at? What do you do exceptionally well? A lot of times it is something that comes natural to you. Creativity comes very natural to me, and I consider it to be one of my Super Powers. Another couple of Super Powers I possess and have learned over the years are being honest and forgiving. You may be saying those can’t be Super Powers, they are just abilities. Excuse me, but aren’t Super Powers abilities that we are extremely good at? All are great qualities and should not

Love Part VIIII: Self Love: Equality

Click here for Audio What is Equality? The literal definition is,  the state of being equal, especially in status, rights, and opportunities. Let’s focus on ‘the state of being.’ I see ‘the state of being’ “anything” is something we do naturally. It is existing because we do. Now adding equal to that is ‘the state of being equal.’ Meaning to see ourselves as equal or treating ourselves as an equal. It starts with us, so it is a must that we see ourselves as equal to others. How we see or treat ourselves is our true power and control. Treating ourselves well makes it difficult for another to mistreat us. Simply because when we treat ourselves well, we give ourselves an insight as to how we need or want to be loved and treated. When you understand truly loving yourself always, you will not tolerate anyone treating you indifferent or badly. You will be comfortable to some degree with calling someone out if they are being inappropriate. You know it needs to be done and will contempl
