That's What I'm Talkin' About Baby
FOCUS!
"Change is the essence of life. Be willing to surrender what you are for what you could become" (Tony Robbins) YES!
GIVE IT YOUR BEST SHOT ~ FOCUS ~
That's Kamryn in the photo; that's PASSION YOU SEE THERE; FOCUS ~ SHOOT THE HOOP ~ GO FOR THREE ~
In all things, give it your best shot.
This translates in every way. In whatever you do, count on yourself to give it 110% of your best effort. Kamryn would often shoot "a three pointer" and then look over his shoulder at me and shout, "Is that what you're talkin about?" And even with him in Virginia and me, the Godmother here in Florida; over the phone he can hear me smile as I say, "That's WHAT I'M TALKIN' ABOUT BABY, FOCUS!!! DO YOUR BEST ALWAYS, SHOOT FOR THE MOON"!
Shoot for the moon and worse case is you will find yourself among the stars, you will be with some powerful angels if you need a hand along the way as well.
I have heard it said that if all else fails, lower your standards.
So refuse to fail. Under no circumstances will we lower our standards! DEFY THE ODDS.
D E F Y G R A V I T Y
That’s the message.
Remember, WHETHER YOU THINK YOU CAN OR YOU THINK YOU CAN’T. YOU ARE RIGHT.
Does this mean that we will succeed first time every time?
NO, but if at first we don’t succeed, try again.
Reassess what didn’t work, revise the strategy and bring it home! FOCUS; KEEP YOUR EYE ON THE BIG PICTURE AND... SHOOT THE HOOP ~
Success will come. It will come because we know, really know that we can achieve whatever we have set out to do with purpose.
We have revisited this idea several times.
To succeed you must know deep inside your psyche that you will succeed. Against all odds YOU CANNOT FAIL.
See it. Believe it. Muscle through. Massage It. Love it. Talk to it. Receive It.
It really is a truism that we get out of life what we put into it.
Put good in, get good out. Put GREAT in and GET IT ALL.
Supersize your efforts and you will supersize your results. I have seen herculean results when failure seemed the only outcome.
Overcome the odds. Defy the Odds. SUCCEED.
You are a child of the great Universe, you have the power to choose how and what you want for your life, right here right now... I wish you enough to choose healing ways!
Do it because only you can. Do it because you deserve to be your best self. You deserve to honor your life and the life of those you have loved by giving your best in everything you do.
Create the success you want to have. You are worth it.
I believe that you are already a success.
I believe in your capacity to succeed.
Your ability to champion in all that you desire to achieve.
<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>
The sad truth is that most of us fail to reach our potential because we either have low expectations of ourselves, or because we have not really put all of our effort into getting it right. Into achieving 110% success, and as a result we have piled up more losses than wins.
Shame on us if we are willing to settle.
I for one am not. I will lead not follow. Some may attempt to imitate, others will rebel at truth... karma is powerful as are the spirit guides who walk with me ~
I will be the success I want in my life. I will lift my life up and take it to the next level.
I will invite others to join me but NEVER diminish my own effort to match complacency around me. I will attempt to seek out other like minded souls to share my time, energy and gifts with.
I am already the blessing I was born to be. I have only to turn it on, fire my passion up and DEFY failure, defy GRAVITY ~ I am a firewalker ~ and one who walks with bear spirit ~ and the spirit of Elders, of the little ones, of angels and of all those who I now know and have known ~ and the Universal Oneness ~ I am beyond blessed ~

STAND FOR YOU
STAND FOR CHRIS TODAY AS SHE IS WAKING FROM SURGERY ~ Chris made it through her surgery yesterday evening, she went in there with her warpaint on, she was "focused" she felt the "army of angels" with her. She wanted to get it done and over. "The girls are gone; she is resting tonight, hoping to get out of the hospital on Friday and back to her daughter's home in NY to heal. They expect her to be in a lot of pain, she is cut armpit to armpit ~ keep her wrapped tightly in thoughts and prayers on the wind. I reminded her that we are strong and we are united with her; we are focused and I am ready for "battle with her" She agrees... CANCER SUCKS.
She hopes we will all "Stomp" for her until she is able to "STOMP" again! She so enjoyed stomping after reading Monday's blog and has treasured the thoughts send by so many on the winds to her.

Remember: During times of good/bad stress, heartaches, loss and grief; one would be wise to consult those in the helping professions to guide along the journey, and when doing so, ask if they are qualified to work with issues of loss/grief/healing... interview them, look for a good fit for you. INVEST IN YOU... IT WILL BE THE BEST MONEY YOU WILL EVER SPEND.

Ask your local bookstores to contact Infinity Publishing to carry Healing Heartaches in your local bookstores; that is the best way to find the book on the shelves!

I am all over it! Stomping, smiling, remembering loved ones, and wrapping my arms around Chris from this great distance. I believe we are already able to so and be our best. I am not growing into my greatness, it is already inside me. My job as I se it is to maximize my effort everyday. Give it my best shot. Whether I achieve the immediate goal or strive for it, I know ZI have really given it my best shot. Feels good just to spend the energy in positive motion. Can not imagine sitting back and wasting time wishing I had tried. I believe in my own success. What a great and uplifting feeling the blog brought
me today. Thank you for honoring so many in the blog today.
To Chris,
Bye Bye boobies. On to the return of GREAT health! Each day you will feel better, healthier, not to mention, less stressed. Go with the healing Chris. We are all sending you love.
L E A P :..... and the net will appear.

Here is an update on the bookclub in Apex, NC
I needed to go before the Homeowners Association association to present the posters that Borders requested. All present voted in favor of the posters for Healing Heartaches!
After passing out bookmarks and cards, some members of my community looked at the blogs. I was told this is a "high educated community" and members do not wish to be referred to as nutcases or whackadoodles. People had no idea what Wado or COB meant...many saw this blog as metaphysical mumbo jumbo and were frightened to post!
In order to provide a safe place where people would feel comfortable posting, I created The Circle of Grief Page. People love having a safe place to post, where they are not insulted!
By the way, I was introduced to Elisabeth Kubler Ross when I was in my 20's and bedridden for one year and have read all of her work and know it extremely well. I have co-facilitated grief support groups at St. Lukes in Palm Harbor using both the work of Elisabeth Kubler Ross as well as Griefshare.
As a co-facilitator of a Grief Support Group and family who frequented nursing homes, the Bishop of the Diocese announced our family as Family of the Year for our support to our community. I am providing you with a formal update......would not ever respond to any harassing emails from your troubled members.
I am sorry if my community did not take to your blogs. Healing Heartaches is a lovely memoir. Thank you Sherry for recently joining the Facebook groups that I belong to, I find it a compliment that you joined my groups!
Again, many blesings to all who find their way here,
may the womb of night protect you,
cradle your poor broken souls,
may you awaken in the morning refreshed,
and thankful for this glorious world.
Peace & blessings to all,
Linda
PS: my medical doctors say I do NOT need a therapist, though I hope those who harass others do hopefully find the help they need
My initial art lessons were from "Dragon Boy - Jonathan W." He also referred me to several sites that taught computer art.
