The Ride of My Life Podcast/Blog

This has been an important process for me to come forward and begin to help people understand and walk through grief. In this video, I go into what I went through with grief in my life and how to help yourself and others with grief. I also share emotional, physical and spiritual symptoms of grief as well.

Finally, I talk about opening up my Meetup Group to hold space for grief through writing called The Write to Heal - Journaling Your Way through Grief.    

In Season 4, I share my story, how I was able to heal and also give suggestions from my experience on how you can heal on your journey; Mind, Body, Spirit and Soul. It doesn’t work for everyone in the same way and you are your own physician, healing yourself. I share from my own personal and professional experience.  

Come along with me to find how I continue this journey, as I am on it. Hold on, it’s quite the ride!  

Come join me in a healing partnership...  

In this episode, Michael Berger and I have a great conversation on what he does, our journeys, and how we both got started on our journeys through The REAL (Resilience. Empowerment. Acceptance. Love.) Course (formerly TLC and UYO). We talk about similar experiences with #critical and #judgmental parents who created #shame for us. #Codependency issues and #selflove was also discussed.

We have #choices in our lives and one of those is to decide whether or not we want to keep repeating the same old #patterns that no longer work for or serve us in any situation in our lives or shift our personal view and personal power to something that changes our lives.

We also talk about being #vulnerable and a #highlysensitive and using those as a superpower.

#TheREALCourse really opened the door for us to empower ourselves in our lives and I am honored to share this course with you. The course itself has gone through many iterations over many years and has had to grown and empowered itself. From UYO to TLC to REAL, it is now at a stage of being able to provide so much healing and such an amazing community for those that attend.

Listen in as we share both of our personal experiences and how we have grown and changed our lives and be sure to take a look at The REAL Courses website for more information and for contact information.

In this episode, someone I was talking to this morning brightened my day and it was such an incredible experience, I wanted to share my thoughts on what happened. I was floored by a compliment that was given to me and realized that we don't do that nearly enough in this world. Bullying seems to be more prevalent than being kind and it feels, to me, that hurt people, hurt people. When we feel hurt we tend to lash out and there is a limited amount of kindness. My healing journey has shown me that the more I have healed from trauma, the more I am kind to people. Try it for yourself for a day. Reach out to share a smile, a compliment or open a door for someone (for you, not them) and see what happens for the rest of the day. Even they will pay it forward.    

In Season 4, I share my story, how I was able to heal and also give suggestions from my experience on how you can heal on your journey; Mind, Body, Spirit and Soul.

In this episode, I am doing a Discourse, sharing my story and my experience. Talking about the difference between just dealing with something as the Still Small Voice gets louder and becomes the 2x4 that tends to hit us in the head when we don't pay attention, to just seeing something not going right for us and making a decision in the moment. Years of the 2x4 has taught me to follow the intuition and change things that need to be changed in the moment. The 2x4 can be very painful.

Come along with me to find how I continue this journey, as I am on it.

My intention is to take everything I have learned and share with you more of my experiences and how I was able to find peace, self-love and to expand my life and express myself.  

This time, I will share my story, how I was able to heal and also give suggestions from my experience on how you can potentially heal on your journey; Mind, Body and Soul.  

It doesn’t work for everyone in the same way and you are your own physician, healing yourself. I give guidance from my own personal and professional experience.  

In this episode, I share a blog I wrote on the shadow as a personal experience I had with my internal and external worlds. Bringing up some very powerful experiences from the feelings/emotions I was going through on a particular morning as I lay in bed watching the shadows on the ceiling... moving and breathing.  

Come along with me to find how I continue this journey, as I am on it. Hold on, it’s quite the ride!

I joined in this talk because people need to hear about what is causing a lot of their pain, anxiety, depression and so forth. When you know what is potentially going on, you then have something to go by that will help you on your path to healing.  

This was a very powerful experience for me and helped me to see even more what is going on and to be able to connect with others going through it as well. I am grateful to have had this opportunity with these amazing women.  

IF YOU ARE WATCHING THIS, perhaps YOU have been chosen by your ancestors to BREAK THE CHAIN & DETOX THE GENERATIONAL PATH. Inherited traumas consist of traits that have been  present within you since the time you were born. They were passed onto you from previous generations. Acquired traits are those that YOU develop during this lifetime. Acquired traits are NOT passed from one generation to another. Learn how GENERATIONAL or INHERITED TRAUMAS are likely the reason people are angry, hateful, prejudiced, divided, and more. Many dealing with anxiety, depression, and even homicidal or suicidal tendencies have no idea why. Dr. Mozelle Martin has been studying this since 2005 and has SCIENTIFIC PROOF that past lives really do exist. She will share the evidence with you during this live stream. Dr. Mozelle Martin brings on two other panelists - Caroline Rena & Dawn McCarty - each with their own experiences and knowledge. Together they will take you down a trajectory that can forever change the lives of you and your loved ones for many generations.  

Well, it has definitely been interesting since I got back to South Florida. I have worked through some things that are lessons in this lifetime for me about focusing on myself, standing on my own two feet, and self-forgiveness. It has been quite the journey inside just in the last two weeks. I'm blown away by the shifts. And... my journey began with trauma, depression, anxiety, plenty of loss and chaos in my life, and more. I realized a lot of things that I talk about in this video and share my ah-hah moments for myself as well as recognizing that there is no same answer to heal for everyone. There just isn't. We all have our own stuff and best I can say is to reach out to someone who can guide you out of the hole when you are ready to get out. When things get intolerable, there is a space in there that we can choose to shift ourselves and lives. It is possible.

The journey continues...

Follow me as I share my Poem Talks, my musings, my Inner Peace Journey and through the healing work I find myself fully committed to as I learn about the truth of who I am, find new awarenesses about myself and life and share it with you in hopes that it will provide insight to your journey as well.

My Poem Talks means a lot to me and I share my deep dive into Self over the past year and a half. I reference the poems I wrote since 2021, and share how I was going deep into my healing work because I knew things needed to change in my life. I asked for the changes but it took the moment to moment experience of life for me to learn more about my truth and why I am here on this planet.

The most important thing I’m finding is the connection between my Self, my Higher Self and my Higher Power. From the truth, love, beauty, connection, joy and inner peace I find inside, I am readily available to share my gifts with the world.

Who am I really? I am a highly sensitive being and I am Love.  It hasn’t been easy and quite frankly, this time around in this life, my Soul chose many challenges to face so I could learn about compassion, love, peace and joy (my own first and then for others). I lived my life in a complete state of “not good enough” which fully reflected in my experiences, and when that is going on, knowing myself as compassion, love, peace and joy was confounding to me.

Life doesn’t always work out in the way we plan (and mostly that is a good thing) but for me, confronting the darkness of my life and what I was bringing into jobs, relationships and life in general, showed me that how I lived and the things I was taught throughout my life was not my truth of who I am.

In order to truly heal, I needed to walk through the grief, as painful as it was, forgive myself for not knowing better at the times I didn’t which my behavior showed, and to forgive others fully in order to find the love inside me... as I continue to discover this truth and ultimately inner peace.

What an incredible journey this is has been. I am back in Florida from going through my process and the deep dive into my healing journey from trauma. I can tell you that the journey never ends but the results along the way are amazing. I have very few flashbacks now and if I get one, I am able to deal with it with my tools. My nervous system is healing because I can tell that I don't react or dissociate anymore, I just sit with whatever is coming up for me. This is so empowering. My hope is for all who have experienced trauma that you can witness for yourself freedom in your life.

While on the road heading back to Florida, met some amazing people who are sharing their love and gifts, for healing and connection on this planet and raising consciousness.

In this video, I am interviewing Ethan Vincent who owns Barefoot Gardens, a Camp/Homestead and Learning Center in Vilonia, AR. I stayed the night there on my way back to Florida and was given a tour around the Homestead. So many cool things going on from classes to chicken release to making stone jewelry among other things. I only stayed one night but I am looking forward to the next opportunity where I can stay longer. What a great family and place!

What an incredible journey this is. Learning more and more about what faith is and how it works. I talk about my experience with my mother two years prior to her death and my road to forgiving her before that and since. That mother wound has been difficult for me but I am learning more and more about real unconditional love and self-love through it. I have been building on my faith for a long time now and I am finding these shifts in my experience from traumas throughout my life are so amazingly healing. Thanks for being here with me.

I am still on the road, meeting some amazing people who are sharing their love and gifts, for healing and connection on this planet and raising consciousness.  

This interview came from a contact that was out of the blue and I am glad it came. The conversation was around trauma and how the mind and body deals with it and how we can heal from it. Find out how to work through when trauma comes us, how Interpersonal Hypnotherapy is done and how it can really help remove your blocks to the higher vibration. I share my experience and it really helped me to hear what Matthew had to share. "All roads lead back to the mind." What does that mean? Listen in...  

This was an interesting test. I recorded this on both my phone and Zoom on my laptop (which I normally do). I was in a coffee shop and wanted to see what would be the easiest. So that didn't work out and I just did it the usual way. Anyway, I was going through coming over a hurdle about myself and my truth last year and I was digging into both my world and myself. Even now, at this time, I am in a space of getting ready to begin anew and I share what it was like then and now.

The past week has been all about Rebirth for me from my birthday on August 3rd through Sunday with an experience of connection and finding out that although I didn't feel as though I loved, that was a lie I told myself throughout my life. From the celebrations with my friends in Oklahoma, to the cake, to the painting parties, to the love, love, love received and given, I find I am blessed, loved and supported by many in my life. The icing on the cake was when I shared about my 40th High School Reunion, which I ended up not being able to attend, about how I felt as a teen in high school that contributed to what went on in my life. I connected anyway with so many people from that post, I was in awe. Thank you all for being in my life! I love you and I am so grateful.

I forgot to mention my eye, which I tried to “make up” for by putting makeup on the other eye, to match. It didn’t work out too well, you can still see the puffy. And… wait… you should see the other guy!

I am still on the road, met some amazing people who are sharing their love and gifts, for healing and connection on this planet and raising consciousness.

In this video, I decided to interview Gary and Debra on the work they are doing with turning pallets into artwork for your home. They made me a tray/headboard for the back of my car for when I sleep in it and as you can see, they are so artistic with their expression of love. A little more "bad hair day" and meshing the pronunciation of "mandala." Eh... to-ma-to or to-mah-to. Hahaha... anyway, just wanted to share my dear friends because of this and their generosity. Beautiful souls, they are.  In one of the shots is a kitchen they made for their grand-daughters which I neglected to mention. So cool!   

My poem, On Being Nice is a recognition of truth for me and how I tried to keep people in my life, no matter how I was treated because I loved them. I didn't want them to leave because of my fear of being alone. I struggle through this for many years and realized that, as women, we are taught to put everyone else first. This completely diminished my sense of self to the point where I was lost and stuck. I share my thoughts of what being nice was for me. I also shared a couple of tools to help calm the nervous system - hands on heart and breathing and also bilateral stimulation through tapping on your shoulders. As well, I shared a book that really helped me out called, "The Good Girl Jail, When You Dare to Live from Your True Self" by Sandra Felt.

In this episode, I find that timing is everything. This poem happens to be about change and what better time to talk about it as a New Moon and during the process of travelling back to Florida. I continue to work through my healing process and being okay with theses changes. My life looks nothing like it ever has and I am grateful for it all.

This episode is a big deal for me in my journey. I talk about what the phrase "The struggle is real" means to me and what it can mean for others. Moving through the developmental trauma experienced in my life, I a finding a new lease on life and this poem, although written over a year ago, has come full circle.

The most important thing I’m finding is the connection between my Self, my Higher Self and my Higher Power. From the truth, love, beauty, connection, joy and inner peace I find inside, I am readily available to share my gifts with the world.  

These poems that were written over this time document the journey going on inside me. Who am I really? I am a highly sensitive being and I am Love.

It hasn’t been easy and quite frankly, this time around in this life, my Soul chose many challenges to face so I could learn about compassion, love, peace and joy (my own first and then for others). I lived my life in a complete state of “not good enough” which fully reflected in my experiences, and when that is going on, knowing myself as compassion, love, peace and joy was confounding to me.  

Throughout this journey of seeking external sources to prove that I was worthy of love, after almost 30 years, I realized that the truth is inside me.  

Working through grief was the kicker, feeling my anger (all my feelings) that I was never allowed to feel or show, I had no clue where I would end up.  

I left my last relationship in April of 2021 and stayed in Central Florida for literally a gestation period of 8 months which pushed me into the re-birthing process to really get to know who I am and why I am here. My life really began to open up the following month as I was birthed into the beginning of my new and very different life.  

Life doesn’t always work out in the way we plan (and mostly that is a good thing) but for me, confronting the darkness of my life and what I was bringing into jobs, relationships and life in general, showed me that how I lived and the things I was taught throughout my life was not my truth of who I am.  

In order to truly heal, I needed to walk through the grief, as painful as it was, forgive myself for not knowing better at the times I didn’t which my behavior showed, and to forgive others fully in order to find the love inside me…  

The journey continues as I continue to discover this truth and ultimately inner peace.  

In this episode I talk about how I was named Hummingbird many years ago by a Native American friend who has since died. He saw something in me back then that I had yet to learn about myself. This poem reflects my learnings, observations and awarenesses over the years to this point in my life where I am able to see my Self for who I truly am. It is such a positive experience AND moments can be rough.  

And the journey continues...

Welcome to The Ride of My Life – Poem Talks!  

After a year of deep diving into healing work and finding out about who I am and who I’ve been in my life, I share the poems I have written over this time that document the journey inside of me. Who am I really? I am Love and this is my Journey.   

I was working through the grief of the new changes in my life and then on 6/17/2021, I began the walk into the depths of my journey and my soul to find out the truth about myself questioning where I would end up. After leaving my relationship/partnership and moving to Central Florida for a couple of months, which ended up being 8 months, it pushed me into the re-birthing process of the truth of who I am. Life doesn't always work out the way we planned and in the time I was there, I confronted my darkness and what I brought to the jobs, relationships and life I had experienced. I learned in order to truly heal, I needed to grieve, forgive myself and others and find the love inside me.   

I am finding more and more that my connection with Creator/The Divine is all inclusive with my Soul. I have learned about God's Timing and Divine Timing and today it melded beautifully from a book I was reading talking about our Soul's Timing. I am working through something and as I ponder what is happening I realize how truly we are all connected to Creator, our own Soul and each other. This poem recreates that feeling as I understood it closer to the beginning of my deep dive into Inner Peace.

The poem, when written in 2021, was the discovery of my moving into the light. Seeing that I am no longer a "bad child" and finding out how much light I really have in me. It can be challenging bringing light into the darkness, but it is so worth it. Shine your light!

I keep digging into who I am and why I am here and find out over and over that my purpose is to reconnect and remember myself and the truth of who I am, the love inside and then share that love in whatever I am drawn to do on the planet. That is why I do this podcast, poem talks and share what it's like to do the healing work from trauma and that it is ok to do it.

Around this point is when my Poem "downloads" started to show up every morning. It was so cool. Recognizing myself as strong had not been in my vocabulary for most of my life. In this poem, I am starting to see myself differently. There was always a sense of being strong, even when I was consistently feeling small and that all began to change here.

Going in and out at this point in August of 2021, I was starting to see the new as I was releasing the old. Floating through dimensions, probably between the 3rd and 5th dimension, I started to see duality in everything and I started to recognize that we can have more than one thing going on both outside and inside of us in the world. Also, learning that in order to appreciate the light, there needs to be darkness and that has been my journey since. At this point in time, May 2022, I can appreciate both.

Just starting to believe what the Divine really is to me. I struggle quite a bit growing up with being connected to God. I was raised Jewish and it is written G-d. As a child, the dash felt like a disconnect to me and I always felt alone in the world. Finally, I realized years ago that the "dash" actually meant that God is mystery. The really helped me a lot and then I realized, in my understanding and experience that God is fully a part of me. Even the Trinity: the Christ Consciousness, the Holy Spirit (my Spirit) and God. It felt all the same. I am a Spirit having a Human experience and learning what that means. This particular poem really showed that I was getting into that space. More to come, and...

So glad you are here for Season 3 of The Ride of My Life, my Inner Peace Pilgrimage!  

I am now out on the road, back to the interviews, this time, face to face, with some amazing people, sharing their love and gifts, for healing and connection on this planet and raising consciousness.  

We are going to have some fun with this!  

I'll be honest, I had no idea what I was doing with these videos. It was my intention to meet people along this ride and just have a conversation with them about Inner Peace. It will evolve.  This video, I met Bobae and Austin, of Cat N Bae, at an AAPI (Asian American Pacific Islander) Pop Up Vendor Event in Colorado Springs. On the last video I did, Valerie and I talked about going to this event and here we are at the actual location. Bobae and Austin do some really cool things. Their main theme is "Rescue Earth, Cats and people." They are artists who really live their life in helping people and the earth. Bobae is a professional designer, yoga teacher and does Mindful Photography and Austin creates humorous illustrations as a self taught artist. Such a sweet couple. We had a nice time connecting and talking as Bobae painted a pink peace sign on my face! What fun! My little girl was getting to explore again and was having a blast!  

Stepping into my inner peace is creating outer experiences that I never thought I would... well... experience! I so love what is happening and I look forward to what this journey brings, one wing and a prayer at a time as I am guided on my way.

This video is a humdinger! Valerie Montgomery (we did a more formal interview with her on March 30, 2022) and I decided to go to a AAPI (Asian American Pop Up Market). Our intent was to look into a Human Design, Self-Projected Projector (both of us) way of making decisions and parking was the goal. I was in, because I figured it would be fun and yes, I am seriously seeing my fun loving little girl coming out now that I'm here. The music and a view of me at the Garden of the Gods is in here as well. I was just playing around with the video and decided to add those!  

Stepping into my inner peace is creating outer experiences that I never though I would... well... experience! I so love what is happening and I look forward to what this journey brings, one wing and a prayer at a time as I am guided on my way.

This video was the first of this series while I was staying just outside of Charlotte, NC, prepping my car and doing the internal work to release some fears and grief I was going through. On 4/16/2022, I was led to a Cacao Ceremony, led by Jane (the Guide) Ritz. I just have to say that the way she did this ceremony, in such a divine feminine/mothering way was so helpful for me. It was a gentle cleansing on top of the cleansing I was already going through. It really cleared out a lot for me, mentally, emotionally, spiritually and physically. I'll not get into that part! Wink, wink.  In this video we just have a really cool conversation in which I learned more about Jane (and myself) and the amazing work she does. We had a fantastic time and I am so grateful she decided to do this!

In this last episode, Sam and I went on an incredible journey through her experiences as a child with trauma and how she experienced music, piano and singing to heal herself. She has an powerful way of teaching that is not of mainstream and also uses her knowledge in Mental Health, Trauma Informed Therapy to help others. Her genius lies in her intuition and her compassion especially with her genius of singing, songwriting and playing the piano. While on the interview, I love what she came up with in describing what she does, "I help you get through all of your crap so you can get to your Soul through music and through playing."

Little by little over the past couple of weeks, I went from the "real" world, into a retreat in the mountains of North Carolina and then back out into the world, travelling as I go. "Finding myself" more and more at peace in this moment. The poem was written on 8/7/2021, just 4 days after my birthday. Life changes and continues to change. Loving my freedom these days and my connection with friends and family. Loving myself more and more and appreciating life. In this poem, when I wrote it, I was just beginning to discover myself and it wasn't easy. Obviously, the work I have done was powerful because I see myself and my life so differently now.

This video is an important step in my healing journey, where today, 4/30/2022, I move into a new phase in my life on New Moon. The ironies, synchronicities, miracles and alchemy in my life is speaking loudly to me. Less than a year ago, when I wrote this poem, I felt in my heart the truth of peace, yet I wasn't feeling much of it... yet. Throughout the last 8 months, I have been in the Chrysalis state, preparing to birth into this new point in my life. I could only sit with what I was going through as I didn't have any other options at that point. Nothing I had tried throughout my life was working for me anymore and I knew it was time. Here I am, starting my Inner Peace Pilgrimage on this day, with knowing, more than ever, what that peace feels like. I can tell you this... chaos may be exciting so peace appears to be boring, yet it is complete bliss.

In this video, I talk about how locked up I got in the lies I was told about myself and how others could not understand me or who I really am. The system taught us these things so we could fit into this world, into the box. My challenge has always been that I was so far outside the box, I would never fit in. It took many years, and I finally made the choice to dig in and find the truth of me. I felt so alone during the process, it really scared me. Grieving and letting all of my feelings surface was what got me through. It helped me to find my voice.

I was working through the grief of the new changes in my life and then on 6/17/2021, I began the walk into the depths of my journey and my soul to find out the truth about myself questioning where I would end up. After leaving my relationship/partnership and moving to Central Florida for a couple of months, which ended up being 8 months, it pushed me into the re-birthing process of the truth of who I am. Life doesn't always work out the way we planned and in the time I was there, I confronted my darkness and what I brought to the jobs, relationships and life I had experienced. I learned in order to truly heal, I needed to grieve, forgive myself and others and find the love inside me.   

In this video, I talk about how confused I was in my life in knowing who I am. Being taught the ways of the world and how to separate myself from myself, always believing my father wanted a boy and tried to mold me into what he envisioned for my life to replace what he could not accomplish in his own. Finding the Divine Feminine in myself and connecting it to my Divine Masculine, I came to begin to recognize the gentleness, strength and balance I hold inside.  

The journey continues...

In this video, I talk about continuing to go into the darkness. Remembering not knowing who I was or what direction to in as a lost 27-year-old mother with a 3-year-old. I never had anyone to guide me or support me emotionally and had to figure things out on my own. The realization and awareness that it all brought me to was my strength that I never believed I had and how could I not? We are all strong, it is the journey that helps us to remember and...

In this episode, I connect with Margot Dragon, as we talk about mental, emotional, physical and spiritual healing. We go into her very profound story of her traumas and how she got through them to bring her gifts to the world and write her book, The Silent Suicide, The Link Between PTSD, Addiction and Cancer, which brings the reader into more connection with understanding how trauma, eating and cancer are linked and also explains ways of working through it all. It covers a broad range of topics from Traditional Chinese Medicine, Western Medicine, Chakras, and the Mother-Child Bond which is deeply linked to dis-ease and healing. I found it to be a very powerful awakening and wake up call and for myself was fully interested in how the Mother-Child Bond (or lack thereof) plays a huge roll in our health.

In this video, I talk about the process of diving deeply into places that were really scary for me and sitting with the pain that was coming up. Doing this alone was not an easy thing AND it was really necessary for me to go through it. I literally felt like I was diving into an abyss with no way out. By beginning to turn away from situations and people that no longer served me, in discovering me, I was able to start to recognize who I really am. I will say it was a long and slow journey because it felt like there were "monsters" at every turn. Those "monsters" turned out to be my beliefs about myself.

After a year of deep diving into healing work and finding out about who I am and who I’ve been in my life, I share the poems I have written over this time that document the journey inside of me. Who am I really? I am Love and this is my Journey.   

In this poem talk video, I go in to how I see myself in this cocoon of healing and sitting with myself for whatever was coming next. At the time, I felt very alone and lonely and couldn't see outside the cocoon. I did the best I could but the pain from the loneliness began to take ahold of me. I could also observe myself and notice that this was somehow meant to be happening and I was fully learning about patience.

This poem talk, Where Am I Going From Here?, I go into questions about where my life is heading.   

In the first two months I was there, I was working through the grief of the new changes in my life and then on 6/17/2021, I began the walk into the depths of my journey and my soul to find out the truth about myself questioning where I would end up.

There are a lot of people who are conditioned to feel lack in life. It can be based on how you feel about yourself in general and feeds into money. I decided to jump this because it was showing up for me and is where I had been throughout my life. I am working with it differently now. It can be challenging. Being open to negative thoughts from others and having it attached to Generational Trauma for me, added to the way I felt about money. Join us as we connect on The Ride of My Life.

"As I prepare again to leave West Palm Beach and head towards my next adventure in North Carolina, I would be remiss not to talk about Valentine’s Day and what it now means to me. As a little girl, I loved Valentine’s Day. Handing out the little Valentine’s Day cards to my friends, making cut outs of hearts with drawings, it was one of my favorite holidays. Hallmark made a name for itself with all the cards, later in my life, that I purchased for those that I loved. This year I did not have a significant other in my life to lavish gifts upon, but I did learn a great deal about love… Self-Love, why it was missing in my life and what I am doing to regain it..."

"A lot has happened since I last wrote my blog and did the podcast. I am no longer in West Virginia and back in West Palm Beach for about 10 days. I think I will start with the fact that the Phoenix is working its healing magic on me. 'This mythical bird is a symbol of hope, renewal, rebirth, immortality, resurrection, solitude and grace. Just like the phoenix emerges from its ashes, so do we, after devastation and loss. The phoenix gives mankind Hope and urges us to keep going. It asks us to keep up the human spirit.'

I’ve been spreading things out a bit with my blog and podcast, due to the healing work I have been doing over the past few weeks, my Ride Inside Adventure. I am finding out all kinds of interesting information about myself and my beliefs through my own work and the work I am doing with my clients. My own work showed me that there is a fine line between taking time out (stillness) and going inside vs movement. I did some research on that to find that we need both; they are equally important. What I want to consider today is the stillness. Going inside and just being still..."

I didn’t feel I was in a place to share, so I didn’t. I am doing much better at this point. I finished getting ready to begin the true Ride of My Life.

"Here we are! The first workday in the new year! I had an incredibly deep and relaxing weekend with just a few hiccups. Today is the first day of prepping to leave. I am still very excited and still a little scared, but it isn’t about the ride, it is about the changes. Having and holding trauma in the body probably explains the fear the most for me. Some may be able to relate to it and for some it’s just hard to explain if you don’t experience it. We all have different variations of trauma and of how we were raised and for some, if you are sensitive souls, it can be challenging to be in a body when the main theme is a Complex PTSD flashback when things begin to change. It’s mainly about feeling unsafe. It is a little hairy for me, but that is why I am doing this..."

"Well, I can honestly say I did not think this would have moments of being ridiculously difficult to work through some of this old, deep trauma. The time I spent over the past couple of months working on digitizing my kids’ photos really brought up stuff for me. The combination of that, Christmas and preparing to leave for this trip has all been a whirlwind of fear, sadness, grief, anger, and even shame. It felt like it got worse, but really I don’t believe that. I am at a different place in my life, I am a different person. This is my life’s work..."

Emotions are shifting again and feelings coming to the surface with the changes going on. The feeling of my feelings of sadness and loss were so deep, but they didn’t last that long. Seems whatever I am doing is really shifting the trauma. I am a total witness and observer of my life now and being able to just watch what is going on as it is happening is incredibly interesting. In the past, I would have either completely gone into a flashback and broke down into anxiety or I would have dissociated into the closet in my brain to feel safe. I’m not doing that anymore and this is such a relief. Also, being able to talk it out loud with a friend when I need to, for me to understand for myself what is going on, is so much better nowadays.

"Diving deep into self today, realizing more and more that the present moment is all there is. Only the mind is about the past and the future. Staying in the body, in the present moment and healing it is what helps me to live in the moment. To go through trauma is to be pulled from the body. For many reasons and with many types of traumas. Also, being taught or learning not to feel feelings takes us out of the body and out of the present. I cannot even begin to tell you, unless of course you have experienced trauma, what a challenge it is to break free..."
