Create "The Power of just showing up"

Showing up: being present & available, coming forth, emerging, maintaining presence, availability, readiness, arrival.

By the act of “just showing up” one has already performed half of the job / commitment / appointment / making an appearance / showing one’s face / approaching / entering / rolling in / attending / presenting one’s self / checking in / making it / turning up

“If I show up, my Higher Power shows up with me”

By simply “Showing up” the power is in my presence. Once presence is established, I’ve executed the act of just showing up, I’m is halfway there. This can mean a job, date, visit, dinner, work, interview, meeting, school, or literally almost anything. Once I “show-up” for something, or someone, I have done the footwork, and can now just let things unfold. This is that moment when I can let my higher power step in and take over. So many times, I’ve put so much pressure on the act of “just getting there”. Now I know that once I’m there, I am OK.

Remember:

Even if things aren’t perfect, doesn’t because you just showed up.

Even if you don’t have the answers doesn’t matter because you just showed up.

Even if it’s not what you thought, doesn’t matter because you just showed up.

Even if nothing happens, it doesn’t matter because you just showed up.

Even if no one else showed up, it doesn’t matter cause you did.

Love, Letting Go of Negative Emotions

Emotions are conscious mental reactions (such as anger or fear) subjectively experienced as strong feelings usually directed toward a specific object and typically accompanied by physiological and behavioral changes in the body.” Adapted from Merriam-Webster 2024 Why is it so important to acknowledge our emotions as visitors & let them go? By working through these emotions and feelings, we are able to recognize, and process them ( let them pass through our system) then let them go. If we ignore or deny our emotions that doesn’t mean that they will simply “go away”. For some of us this can possibly work for a short period of time, especially if we push them so far back into our minds ( the closet of our bodies). Pushing our emotions away can only work for so long, because once that feeling is awakened and activated, it can come back out in full force. Over time, negative emotions that are stuck with us can cause internal illnesses or depression. In order to move th...

Create / Me By the Sea

There is a woman that lives by the sea I am that woman & she has become me The ocean she loved, for so long & so much She lives now close by, close enough to touch She visualized and felt it, day after day Soon the ocean called her, it had found a way Her house is a snug one, with a terracotta roof Her dreams did come true, here was the proof. Two bedrooms, large bathroom, an office to work Snug and serene, with all her pets and her perks… I am that woman that lives besides the sea I became her, because of her vision of me.

Create / Recovering My Creativity

Growing up with an addicted & mentally ill parent caused me to hide many needs & desires, and “people-please” in order to feel accepted as survival mechanism. As an adult, hiding those needs and desires caused me to feel blocked, and unsure about myself in many social situations. The things that I saw & experienced shaped my future behaviors, I was always putting the needs & desires of others before my own , and not putting my dreams & goals first. " " In the past six months, during coaching sessions with my peers, the same blocks/issues came up over & again. They consisted of not giving myself permission to create, and shine as my Higher Power wants me to. Another major block came in the form of wanting to try/do new things, then losing interest the moment I pursued the desire. " " Recently wondering why I seem to not be able to break through a “creative block”, a memory has resurfaced. In my childhood home, behind the garage, t...
