Have you ever had one of those moments where you are completely in

sensory overload? The tv is blaring, dog is barking, kids are nagging and then the

phone rings. You lose it! 

That's it, I'm moving to Mars! Or Sparta.....hmmmm ancient Greece sounds great now!

The power of silence is more profound than you think.

1. When listening to someone intently, letting them speak their mind and

really HEARING what they are saying - in silence.

2. When having an argument, think about what your words will really mean

and the impact it will have on your future - in silence.

3. Have you ever though, in any given situation; that you are going to lose your

cool completely and it would in other circumstances be out of character? 

Take a deep breath, re-assess the scenario - in silence.

4. Emotions and feelings spill over in the most inappropriate ways and times

that you can handle differently if you just take a time-out and think - in silence.

The emotional release you can get from something as simple as a long drive,

in complete silence is profound. Try it!

A-Ha Moment: A flash of insight related to a problem—e.g., integration of a complex set of data—which may result in a solution to the problem.

We are all faced with some or other situation in our lives where we either

have no clue what to do OR, we know but we no idea how to

tackle it head on, or make a decision we will regret later.

When your A-Ha hits you, it hits like a lightning bolt. You feel your head jerk back

and can practically feel the light bulb buzz on, then light up to something akin to 

fireworks of realization.

So many times we feel like we are not enough. Not a good enough parent. Not

good enough at our jobs. Not a good enough partner. Not skinny/tall/blonde/pretty/smart enough. Which begs the real question. WHAT DOES ENOUGH REALLY MEAN??

Enough: e-nough - so as to be adequate. Sufficient; as much as necessary.

Can you see how much we try and overcompensate on something 

that is in actual fact really very simple? 

So often we ruin the bigger picture (albeit in our minds) with the silly

efforts of being better when all we have to be, is ourselves. Completely, fully and

originally ourselves. A-Ha! Enough!

If you still don't GET it, put on them earphones, crank up the volume and listen to this

amazingly deep tune. Sing those words in your head that I know you have

memorized, and find yourself. Just....BE!

This I saw again today. More body, more compassion. Did I scream at the stupid service provider when waiting for them to do their job? NO. Yes I gave you that parking spot...Why?? Because If I saw it in the context of you "taking" it from me, I would have probably lost it and left my signature across the side of your car. See, I was nice. How's that for compassion huh? 

Today, maybe because I am making a point of it, I have yet again noticed the extremes people will go to to avoid people that make them uncomfortable. Hey! Me included. I am not blind to my own faults. Be it in line at the grocery store, or just stepping out of the "ant line" on the sidewalk. We aestetically stereotype. Oh Yes, we go all googly eyed at the tatted buff guy but completely ignore the nerdy looking dude. Why?? Because danger trumps security, that's why. And yes, I can hear all the marmy soccer moms going on about stability and reliability BUT, is it not in the adverse situations where we truly find out who we are and what we want? Do we not fight to keep things real instead of tolerating normalness for the sake of security???

Just a thought..... 

Okay so, here is where this is coming from. Besides deep from my heart, this has been a long time in the making. I am tired of introducing myself with head shots, too afraid that the rest of the package won't be accepted. Screw that shit. I am tired of saying all I have is hair, eyes and boobs. GUESS WHAT? I am so much more. More emotion, more REAL. More witty comebacks because I have had to think them up instead of getting hurt. More FIGHT inside me, because I have had to work twice as hard to prove I am worth it. My smile comes from a place deeper and more complex than little minds can comprehend. I love fiercely, like in romance novels, the kind you dream about when you are a little girl. I don't hate, but disappointment is as deep as the catacombs of hate, I've been there. BUT, I am real, and I have never and won't ever try to be something I am not again. 

This blog is about us. The misunderstood people who have been judged, tormented and humiliated by people who are too materialistic and blind to the inner workings of REAL people. Here's to US!
