We will always have our Kid at Heart
Will we always listen to our Kid at Heart?
'lighten UP!'
WHY?
Be who you truly are... what does that mean ! ?? ask this question ‘’What is the best version of myself. BV... and what am I willing to do and believe to be the best version of myself .. even tho... TBT (truth be told) I will never know the ultimate version or any version for that matter, except for the version I am in right now. We only get a glimpse .. a feeling in a day dream and/or a night dream. Dreams serve as a vehicle to get a message to you of possibilities with out boundaries or limitations.
HOW ?
When we allow ourselves to say .. hmmm what if. Allow yourself to be excited enough to go into your unknown.
Then ... Do this again and again and again. When you come back to reality it becomes possible to see a way - Your Way - to follow your dream. You Make ONE Change..ONE...to get into the dream. Change is a must. Doing the same thing will give you the same results. (fact deal with it). This is the most challenging moment.(fact deal with it).. until.... it becomes a habit .. When You practice this process of allowing yourself to dream and to make ONE change to follow your dream You FIND YOURSELF in Your Life - The suits you perfectly.. . you discover you are on an adventure living a life that feels natural, easy with more enthusiasm and excitement to meet new challenge and change .. just perfect for you.
Simple not always easy. No more no less.
Choosing not to make a change is accepting fear and BS(burdened spirit) as truth. Too many times all of us, at one time or another do not realize this. Because it was dumped on you with out the tools to SEE your truth and understand agendas, you held on to it the BS & fear are lies that are believed.. that is all. BS is.. yes you know what it is. It is the contemporary version of a Burdened Spirit. What is Your Spirit? Your Spirit is the most precious, true, amazing, loving, talented energy you have and are.. Spirit is Your life force energy. That which gives passion and excitement in doing and what can be done. When the Fear and BS is so deep and heavy ... the light in the eyes - dim... never gone ... only dimmed. The Spirit has been weakened. BUT, The Universe is constantly sending You Sparks... to re-ignite your light … your Spirit.
Remember This
every choice you make
~ One Thing Always Leads To Another -
Ask Yourself ''Where Am I Going ? ''
What if ... I 'lighten UP!'
Let's Connect : if you have questions - If you would like me to speak & share 'lighten UP!'
Here are a couple of my experiences helping others to .. 'lighten UP!'
Resolving Conflict within a Girl's High School Soft Ball Team and the WIN-WIN a favorite team experience: I worked with a High School Girls Softball team. The drama in their personal relationships with each other had overtaken their goals, focus and purpose. With loss after loss and talking with some of the girls.. it was clear one team member's drama had infected their team spirit.My opening line was "
Hi, My name is Scherie and I want you to know the first thing your Coach thinks about when he wakes up in the morning is how to make your lives miserable and how you can lose more games!" They laughed because I know this is where the drama had taken their focus. There were those who thrived on conflict with drama and those who were frustrated and didn't know what to do about it.
All I did, was ask simple basic questions that required a simple Yes or No. Where we went from there? It was their choice to Re-committed to their part .. of their team. We met a few times over the next couple months and they made a come back. They beat the #1 rated team in the State... all because they were able to Lighten UP! with the very same team members, talent and abilities .. AND We Had Fun ! The leader of drama chose to get back on track. No one lost face. They chose to be a team with a winning team spirit. They chose to let go of the drama 'clutter' that didn't matter.. the stuff that had nothing to do with playing softball and winning games. The stuff that was a drain to their Team Spirit. They experienced the WIN-WIN. Personal and Team Building !
Resolving this 4th grade girl's inner conflict was just be herself. Only choose the best for herself, her actions and choices! There was struggle among certain girls at school. Was it because of a bully ?
Her grades were declining. She was Angry at home.We talked about her feelings - thinking she wasn't liked and something wasn't right with her. She couldn't understand why they were being mean to her.
All I did was ask ? Do You think they're telling the Truth ? Let's talk about that !
Helping to 'SEE' new options when stuck with feelings of being hurt. 'SEE' how to not take it personal and what action steps to take to make changes in feeling empowered. What happened ? She made new friends. She felt more confident, not believing what others thought or say was true. Interestingly enough, the mean girl, tried to renew the friendship. Roles where flipped and this 4th grade girl was being a good role model to others. We talked about boundaries the help you stay true to your self. I talked with her teacher for insight and it was great to hear that her grades and her attitude were improving ! Her Self Respect and Pride was returning .. even stronger than before ! WIN-WIN !

I have been a Life Celebrant(funerals) for almost 10 years in addition to a Professional Wedding Officiant for 13 years. 60 ceremonies a year. Listening to Stress. helping solve conflict and to see a different view.. Is what I do everyday.
My hope is to share information and Ideas that will empower anyone at any age to make better choices.. . to like themselves more.. while being who they truly are... MORE. Life with less stress. Give tools and ideas to 'SEE' their Live & Learns with a new view. Basically to 'lighten UP!'
In the last few years... suicides and drug overdoes in young people has increased. Recently I was shocked and had no idea the numbers of suicide were increasing and so high. Beginning with children as early as 5th grade. Last fall I went to 'The S Word' movie the Johnson County Crisis Center hosted at the Englert in Iowa City, IA. This movie took us, the viewers, into the private feelings of the day to day life of someone who lost hope in their depression. I believe, when we understand ourselves and learn to like ourselves more... feeling depressed, stressed and down can 'lighten UP!'. My own experiences with stress and depress with the desire to be happy led me to my work, which led to creating simple and easy to understand tools. Tools that you can use to help yourself. I will be writing Sparks about Truth & Tools ... I hope My Sparks help retrieve lost hope.......
