LES BROWN


Earlier this morning I stood at my wall and stared at a piece of paper I printed off the computer back in the spring. It was an email I had received from my mother who wrote one sentence, "Never give up on your dreams." Today, I am not entirely sure what my dreams are anymore. I was always running 90mph towards something. Some vision. Lately, I feel blank. For the first time in my life, I don't know what I want. I know what I enjoy. I enjoy writing and dancing. I enjoy nature walks with my puppy and spiritual chats with close friends. But as for a grand goal, I am currently stuck. This past year started out with a bang as I ran full force towards a laundry list of certifications that included Reiki and Life Coaching. I was leading Women's Circles and taking over the town. This morning I realized that somewhere along the way, I stopped.
Without his knowledge of my morning thoughts, a good friend of mine randomly sent me a YouTube video with Les Brown as the speaker. I listen intently for 20 minutes on the concept of dreams. He took the stage and walked me through a visualization. I saw my writing. I saw my Mother's Art Journal pages. What do I dream? I dream to fuse them together. To create a book in dedication to her. This is bigger than a book built for entertainment. This is about the journey of a mother seeing her daughter through fresh eyes. And a daughter realizing that this whole time, she was a muse. This is about connection and unconditional love. There is a story to be shared.
I remembered before Mom even knew she was sick, she told me about self publishing and how we should "team up." I jumped from my bed, turned off Les Brown, and grabbed my phone to text Ryan Carr a general "thank you" for sending a great video my way. And then I froze. My phone said 11:11. For those that are unsure of the significance, scroll down and read the THROGS NECK BRIDGE blog from this week. Your jaw may just drop as fast as mine did.
And so I am listening. I have just set my intent, visualized my plan, and announced it here for accountability. I ask my SOL7 readers to assist me with ideas and motivation. And a promise to not let me quit or get distracted, as I tend too. This is one project that I must complete.

WHERE DO YOU RESIDE?

There is this place called "All-About-Me-Ville" and it's growing population is astounding. I should know, I was nestled there for years. I lived right on the corner of Self Ave. and Centered Drive. (LOL) Okay, so you see where i am going with today's blog. Here's the real deal - I moved out of that zone about a year ago. It took several steps for me to officially awaken and grasp the concept of what life would be like if I took a bow on the stage of lif e and allowed the spot light to shine onto someone else's performance for a while. Truth be told, it was the most freeing sensation I have ever experienced!!!! The irony today is that I run into individuals that still patrol those streets on the daily and I cannot help but bounce back and forth between dumbfounded and frustrated. Not sure if you're one of the residents? Or perhaps you wonder if you have crossed paths with a narcissist? Here is how you can tell: 1) Do you find yourself having to repeat...

ARE YOU AN INTUITIVE EMPATH?

SIGNS YOU ARE "AN INTUITIVE EMPATH" 1) You can feel other people's emotions, but you have full awareness that they are not your own. 2) You can see beyond a person's feelings and instinctively understand the larger picture and what's truly behind their emotions. 3) You often help others better understand their own feelings, thoughts, and behaviors. 4) You are typically everyone's "go-to" for counseling & advice in your daily routine. 5) You are naturally hyper-sensitive. 6) You physically cannot stand to witness suffering in others. 7) You may not be comfortable in large groups, as all that energy is overwhelming. 8) Physical symptoms appear after emotionally intense situations. 9) You are basically a human lie detector. 10) You grow uncomfortable around those that are being inauthentic.
