Secrets and lies.In my many, many years of engaging with others, these are the underpinnings of illness of body, mind and Spirit.We are killing ourselves by refusing to set them free.- Louise LeBrun

Looking back on the mom I was to the mom I am now. Massive difference. It’s not perfect and never will be and that’s ok. It was never supposed to be perfect.

We are writers. We long to be writers. We wish we had time to write. I’ve been in all categories, and continue to meet folks who share in the joyful angst that is the call of the written word. The unspoken question: if we all want to write so damn badly, why is it so hard to just sit and do it?

If you are interested in exploring, delving deeper into, and living from, the Truth that you are, you must give yourself permission to continuously notice things you weren't willing to notice before. I promise: everything will change. And therein lays the root of our most intimate desire and our greatest fear…

Joy is a state of being...Joy is a state of being that most people look for outside of themselves, never finding it ‘out there’ because it can only ever exist ‘in here’, where one lives.Joy is a state of being that requires no doing; it simply exists in the moment one stops and inhales the sacredness of the moment.Joy is a state of being that invites us to live fully immersed in the unknowable mystery of life.Joy is a state of being that allows us to touch the meaning of life … the grace of our own divinity and that of all of life, lived.Joy is a state of being that children know inherently well, because it is our birthright.All we have to do to be in joy is to be in a state of receptivity.But, what gets in the way?Here are a few tips, if you will, about becoming more joyful.

That is what trusting what the full measure of the godForce we each are looks like. Never betraying the Truth of my moment, nor giving directives on how to live your meaningful life. Truly, my greatest gift to each person that crosses my path is empowering them to the process of choice, while being indifferent to the choices they make. I trust this makes sense.

Children are intimately fine-tuned to the inner state of their mothers. It is the state of our mothers growing up that shows us the appropriate responses to the world. So if the mother dissociates (the I AM that she is disappears), children sense that and respond accordingly by developing their adaptive strategies to cope with their environment. 

Living the WEL-Systems process is available to all of us; and, it is not for the faint of heart. It takes worshiping Truth to stay with it. There is always, in all ways, a higher order truth available. Questions is, how much do you desire to seek it? How willing are you to let go of the lies your hold on to, in the form of stories, in order to create space inside your body for the wave (the truth) that I AM (we each are) to be in perpetual flow?

As I type that, I am aware of the multiplicity of bullshit that lives between manifesting a meaningful reality and habitually responding to the same old.In the reality that I live in now, I am so comfortable deciphering the bullshit from the Truth of my experience. And, I place all the value on the truth of my experience, NOT the cultural beliefs, values and attitudes everyone else around me buys into.Fear, rage, outrage, hopelessness, despair, and shame are running the show of the vast majority of people ‘out there’. Everyone waiting for someone to come save them from themselves. If I were to subscribe to their ideology, I’d be living from that space, too. As Declan likes to say recently: Definitely No.

As I have stayed conversation after conversation in this paradigm we call WEL-Systems, I discover and integrate deeper and deeper layers that allow me own the totality of my truth – even when it’s “ugly”. And let me tell you, when it comes to uncovering self-manipulations that go on in the name of family, things get really ugly. And in that, a whole world of internal freedom opens up, because once you give yourself permission to know, you can’t unknow.
