"...a life based on other’s perceptions..."

I was raised a coal-miner’s daughter in southern West Virginia. I had a good childhood and admired my hard-working parents, especially the fact that my mother made a career for herself at a time when women were really just starting to do so. My parents always followed the rules, were kind to everyone, and always seemed to be wearing rose-colored glasses. It makes sense then that I always wanted them to see the good in me and that I was doing the right thing. I was shy and pretty content fading into the background. My dad was an avid athlete and although I was always passionate about sports (and still am), I never had the confidence to perform in front of others. I just never felt good enough or comfortable being the focus of attention. So, I kept quiet for the most part and excelled using my intellect instead.

My parents never forced organized religion, but I grew up in a Bible-belt town with a church on every corner. The God-fearing concept was very much in my face but it never quite resonated with me. I always felt that not only is God loving, but the entirety of our lives and connections with others should be as well. It should be always be about love not fear or hate. I was again not confident to share those perceptions because it was different from the majority, so I kept quiet. Despite trying my best to remain a wallflower, I was bullied through much of my early teens. I kept quiet about that too. I was always afraid that asking for help or standing up to those girls who harassed me would just cause more drama. Noticing a theme here? Fear was definitely winning the race in my life.

I graduated high school and left home for West Virginia University (Let’s Go Mountaineers!) where I ended up majoring in psychology with a minor in sociology, likely as a means to find some of the answers I had stirring inside of me. While there, I met people from many different places with different thoughts and belief systems. For the first time, I was able to gain a little more confidence in my own internal dialogue that I had never felt able to fully express.

I finished graduate college and returned home to work as a clinical psychologist with the dream of being a big part of the change I wanted to see in my area. I wanted incorporate exercise into therapy to help people feel better about themselves internally as well as externally. Little by little, I allowed my bright ideas to dim and succumbed to doing the work that would bring me income. At the time, many were finding themselves without jobs and the opioid epidemic was taking hold. So I found myself getting quiet once again doing disability evaluations and substance use counseling. I was passionate about neither and in fact knew deep down that I didn’t agree with living off the system or prolonged maintenance therapy for addicts. I also did not agree with many of the traditional therapy methods that seemed so focused on talking about the negative all the time.

Yet, I ignored my inner self.

In the meantime, I got married and had two beautiful children and concentrated on being a working mom for several years. My kids became my focus, especially their participation in sports, and although I wasn’t happy with my work, it provided a paycheck and health insurance for the family. Then, a series of life-events sort of knocked me on my ass. Although difficult, it awakened my soul in ways that I could no longer ignore. I was suddenly a single mother with an opportunity to be and live the way I wanted to and to raise my children with love and the belief that we could do and be anything we wanted… but what was that? And how did we get there?

I started to realize I had been living a life based on other’s perceptions instead of my own. So much so I didn’t even know who the authentic me was. For probably the first time ever I started to ask myself what I truly wanted and set out to find it. I remember asking God to please just show me the right path and I would take it.

I started with what was familiar and comfortable for me… utilizing my intelligence. I enrolled in a doctorate program to pursue a degree in Sports and Performance Psychology. My children had already been involved in various athletics for several years and I saw what a positive influence it had on all of our lives. It was how we maintained normalcy and helped me persevere through some tough years. I wanted my job and the rest of my life to have that same focus and motivation that pushes elite athletes to win championships and record-breaking performances.

Not long after, the Law of Attraction really caught my attention. While I was confident I would excel with my continued academic pursuits, I wasn’t so sure about money or my love life. The thought of being able to manifest whatever I wanted seemed amazing. Eventually it wasn’t enough either because I learned that you absolutely cannot manifest your way to happiness. I kept searching and found Neville Goddard. His connection of the metaphysical to spirituality appealed to my intellect and compassionate side. He also gave me a perspective on the Bible and its teachings that matched what I longed for as a youth. Neville focused on imagination and believed with it anything is possible. The key was to live in the end as though your desires were already fulfilled. Thus, I began to shift my state to feeling as though I was already the person I wanted to be, doing the things I wanted to do, with the people I wanted by my side.

I was making personal progress and continuing to search for my authentic self, but was not quite there. I changed jobs a few times, but still had my walls up in a lot of ways, especially in relationships. I was continually seeking information, techniques, and coaches on YouTube, and made some amazing connections and gained some valuable knowledge, all of which were an important bridge of incidents, but again any manifestations seemed temporary. Then I got to what I call my “fuck it” point. I was ready to do whatever it took to get unstuck. I could not quiet myself any longer… not for one more freaking second.

It was at that same time I found Chase Murphy Jr. and agreed to do his 21-Day Course. He told me it would be difficult and that I might want to quit, but if I went all-in and got out of my head for a minute, he promised me I would find the love of my lifetime. He was right!!! It was hard but I did find what I had been looking for… the understanding that I AM the love of my lifetime.

The searching for external validation stopped. I learned (and am continuing to learn) to ask myself all the right questions and trust myself for the answers. I had to correct my self-concept and love myself first and once I did, the path I had begged for God to show me began lighting up like an airport runway. It was always about me learning to be ME. Once I was able to do so everything else has started to magically fall into place. You get to want what you want and who you want in your life. I have to say I am simply mesmerized by it all and allowing it to flow without fear. Self-love truly is the greatest middle finger of all time.

BE YOU.

Thriver

The logical mind has always ruled me, as it was safe. Getting into my heart space was always scary because of my past, because of the fear of letting go with someone. But holding on to past experiences and fear does not help create a love of a lifetime. It doesn’t keep you safe. Holding on to that baggage, it hinders everything. It makes you grasp at the breadcrumbs instead of understanding your worth. It makes you accept things as they are, instead of realizing the infinite power you have inside of you to create it! Knowing that you can create the love you desire from scratch so to speak is...awe inspiring, freeing, relieving....and you already possess that power inside of you!

It's Time

I’m no expert on life, but I’ve lived long enough to know that sometimes things have to get messy to get clean. Sometimes, we have to fall on our butts to understand what really matters.

To stop accepting what we thought was what we truly wanted.

To know who we are and what we are worth.

To tear down the walls that we have built.

To allow ourselves feel the love we truly deserve.

It’s time.

Love

“Love is our birthright. Love is the fundamental necessity of our life. Do not go seeking for that which you are. Those who go seeking for love only make manifest their own lovelessness and the loveless never find love. Only the loving find love and they never have to seek for it.” – Neville Goddard

You deserve to be a success story in all areas of your life.
