Awakening!

Inside of you is a smart, powerful, dynamic, capable,

self-confident, alive, alert, fabulous Woman.

Let her come out and play. The world is waiting for you.

 

Awakening begins with the simple act of relating in a way that allows Self-revelation.

With that comes love, acceptance, peace, compassion and joy.

Self – Revelation! What does that mean?

I believe it means we are to tune into our heart and get totally honest about

who we really are, who we want to be.

It seems we live a great part of our lives trying to be who they want us to be and

who we think we should be.

 

I believed when I got married (16yrs. old} if I was the perfect wife all would be well

and I would be loved forever beyond measure!

That of course meant that my house must be spotless, my meals gourmet, and my sex drive insatiable!!

Where in the world did I get these ideas, you ask.

From The leading magazines, books, and advice from my elders.

 

One day I was awakened from my dream. I discovered that I had three children, a fourth on the way,

a spotless house, gourmet meals on the table, sexy lingerie always available for steamy sex,

and a woman on the phone complaining to me because my husband was cheating on her.

I began to suspect that what I had been led to believe might not be true.

 

So did I wise up, make some changes and do it differently?

Well – Yes an No!

I got a divorce, a new husband, more children and more of all of the above.

This story goes on many more times before the alarm went off and I awakened.

I took a self imposed time out, and began an exploration to find out who this person was that I was trying to be.

Today my house is not spotless, my meals are often peanut butter and jelly, the sexy lingerie has disappeared

and my fifth spouse is the one I was in training for!

 

Learning to be me was not always easy, in fact it was often extremely difficult.

I had to go against all my teaching; I  was called on to embrace new ideas, to set new goals.

The most difficult thing I had to do was see me differently. I had to get in touch with my perfect self,

and begin to love myself.

I was put in touch with a wonderful author who wrote about Learning To Love Yourself.

I read and reread, went to seminars and began to teach what I was learning.

I have heard “that we teach best what we most need to learn.” I was an excellent teacher.

Here are some ideas that I have embraced that have led me to a charmed and wonderful life.

 

If it is true we are created in the image and likeness of our creator,

then it must be,  that we are a perfect creation.

We are “WHOLE, COMPLETE AND PERFECT” just the way we are.

The acceptance of this idea empowers us to move our butt out of our uncomfortable rut

and open our heart to a new and wonderful, love-filled life.

TUNE IN

Whenever we are feeling depressed, unloved, unappreciated, sick and tired of being sick and tired,

we can be sure that it is time for a “tune in.”  

A “tune in” means we take a time out and look slowly and clearly at where we are, what we are doing and why!!

We ” tune” in to some self-praise and self-appreciation, do something nice for our self,

and very soon we will be ready to do something nice for someone else.

We cannot give from an empty well; we cannot give love if we are not filled with love.

 

So right here, right now,  let go of that old teaching that loving yourself is conceited and bad.

Love you more so you can love me more; the more we have the more we give! 

The world needs you and your love now!

WAKE UP!
