Before you continue reading any further, I invite you to recall your 1st reaction {thoughts, feelings, emotions} to this picture & jot it down.

Comments made on Facebook are very interesting and show how effective a visual is. Actually, the ones I saw didn't match mine at all. Here is my take, my reaction to the picture above: 
My first reaction was not that it was meant to be funny {I wondered how difficult it must be for the motorcyclist to drive safely}, nor was the cow being hurt {I figured its tail was being held so it would not fly up and obscure the driver's vision; its rear legs were tied so as not to flop onto the road and get injured} the cow's face certainly does not show signs of being stressed, nor was this awkward undertaking a joy ride for either the driver or the cow.  What came up for me was: What a very compassionate motorcyclist, he found a cow along the road {I seriously doubt he is stealing it}that may be injured but definitely not in a pasture where it belongs.  The rescuer is so daring and brave to help this poor innocent creature & return it to a safe place,hopefully its home away from traffic.  Amazing the conclusions one comes to about a pic!  It is so telling about what is inside us... & how we judge what is right or wrong, good or bad etc.  Its like seeing the cup empty, full, 1/2 full etc. Its about our personal perception.  After a 2nd look at the pic I thought: "Wonder where this pic was taken as it appears the traffic is going the wrong way." See what I mean, I just did it again myself LOL.
When we become the observer of ourselves we gain a great deal of AWARENESS! AWARENESS about any of our MEPS {my coined term for Mental~Emotional~ Physical ~ Spiritual aspects of self} is the 1st step to transformation. Looking at a picture is one of the simplest tools one can use to gain greater insight to oneself. Coach's challenge if you choose to accept: Look at a picture that is very appealing to your aesthetic sense when you want to find comfort or Personal Peace. Look at a graphically disturbing picture if you are struggling with unpleasant feelings or emotions to stimulate the fullness of the feeling in order to release it. As you do either verbally aloud express what you think and feel. Keep doing it until it is gone. You'll know when it is gone because all the "negative"/ fear energy will feel like it has shifted to one of "positive"/Love energy.  Acknowledge and honor yourself  for whatever and ALL that showed up during this exercise for it is ALL part of YOU rather you like it or not. This ACKNOWLEGEMENT is a stepping stone toward ACCEPTANCE {Self Love} !
I hope this blog posting ALLOWED you more AWARENESS to your inner world! I pray this post inspires you to take a few minutes to send Blessings to all creatures especially to those without homes or from abusive ones. For any of my animal loving readers; I hope you didn't get any trapped emotions from viewing the pic at the start of this blog.  If so, I suggest you take the coach's challenge seriously into action and fully deal with the thoughts,feelings & emotions that came up so they can be released. If you have difficulty or need support in doing so I AM here to assist.

My dad used to say "keep your words soft n sweet just in case you have to eat them".  This I accept as a belief and the poster guides one how to do such.  On the other side of the coin my dad used to say "little children should be seen n not heard"  No wonder so many children including my healing inner child have or had difficulty speaking up for what they want or need. If this is or has been a belief for you, you may have trapped emotions in your 5th chakra, the throat chakra. You may also be prone to attracting a bully or "allow" yourself to be abused by others in your life.  This is clearly a sign of lack of Self Esteem.

Parents, if you want what is best for your child check in with yourself to see if you are being a control freak who doesn't permit your child to have a say or choice.   Be open to hear what they have to say as you set the rules of speech: "The words of the tongue should have three gatekeepers: Is it true? Is it kind? Is is necessary?" If you implement this at a young age you will be doing yourself a huge favor by keeping the lines of communication open especially for when they become teenagers. Personally, I'd rather deal with a terrible twos toddle than an uncontrollable, rebellious, pubertal, hormonal teen. Handling teens is a whole different dimension and conversation. For now let me just say if you don't have emotional maturity to control yourself n Personal Power your teenager will walk all over you. Love & Gratitude Andrew for your strong Personal Power n discipline. Let it be known Personal Power does not mean violent physical, mental, or emotional abuse!
Remember, it all begins with YOU! So if you want to "Live Your Life in Holistic Harmony" take notice of the words that come out of your own mouth! Young children learn from their parents', caretakers' , teachers' etc. volume, tone and meaning of words, because those words convey both attitude n meaning. So choose your words consciously rather than being a stimulated, reactionary, automated subconscious robot.
Clearly, the world is in desperate need of healing!  How much would it cost you to hold your tongue, to let the gatekeepers of true, kind n necessary words be your MO {method of operation} during your daily life?
Today may your genuine kind,true,and/or necessary words:
Praise someone for a job well done.
Thank someone for doing something appreciated.
Bless someone for being supportive.
Give hope n inspire those frail in faith.
Allow another to know how valued they are.
Most of all....
May the words you speak starting today carry the sound vibration of LOVE!

If you find yourself afraid to speak your mind for fear of upsetting someone else, I invite you to create Personal Peace n Self Love.

What path are YOU on ?  Do you have any idea?
Does it feel like you are aimlessly wandering around?
Are you lost without knowing what direction to head next?
Perhaps, you are well Aware of traveling a well lit path?  Very fortunate for you as many people aren't.
I can't begin to tell you how many times over the past 3 1/2 years I questioned my path.  Was I on a path I enjoyed traveling? Absolutely!  Have I felt supported and inspired by Spirit?  Definitely! Otherwise, I would have never taken the risk I did of ending my food service career and basically jumping ship into my unknown future; flying by the seat of my pants when I chose to become a Certified Life Coach, create the People Pleasers Recovery Time: Lifeline to Reclaim You telesummit,become a Certified Emotion Code Practitioner, plus mentoring in several areas of energy healing,studying Angels, doing live events, writing etc.}
Did I have doubts, fears, and lack confidence in myself to pursue my desires, YES! Did I keep moving forward on my path YES! Albeit, with many diversions and rest along the way {the greatest over the past 6mo.has been caretaker of my boyfriend who has brain cancer}. Marching forward while Allowing more life experiences to provided me an opportunity to walk the talk as I mastered the art of Personal Peace. I mention this not to boast, but to emphasize the point that I never gave up on my dreams.  I was determined to find what I felt was missing. Along the way, near the beginning of my path I realized that thing was Self Love. Once I Acknowledged that, the cake was in the oven {AKA my healing/self discovery}. When it finished baking I shared it with all those who were interested in having a bite or two {AKA me serving others who wanted empowerment in their lives}.Time for the icing, a quest for something more to enhance my accomplishments. This turned out to be more related to alchemy {AKA without name dropping this was more mentoring by higher vibrating individuals}. Where am I presently, on my path? 
   This part of the path is to decorate the cake. Multi-colored rainbow sprinkles, and a drizzle of this n that top the cake {AKA claiming more of my Divine gifts}. Today I am on the part of my path where I officially come out as a Personal Peace Psychic. Yep, I now embrace & own more of what I AM!
 Let's celebrate! YOU are invited, no matter where you are on your path to join me for a FREE 20 minute Personal Peace Psychic Session. I know how difficult and frustrating it can be while on your path following your dreams; worse for some who ar even have an idea where they are on their path.
If you are struggling, or just curious about your present personal emotional energy, I would be honored to connect with you for this no strings attached complimentary session.  For more information, please visit:

Sincerely in Spirit,

What might result from this?  Resentment, guilt, blame etc.????
Louise L. Hay writes in You Can Heal Your Life:  "I find that resentment, criticism, guilt and fear cause more problems than anything else.  Resentment that is long held can eat away at the body and become the dis-ease we call cancer. Criticism as a permanent habit can often lead to arthritis in the body. Guilt always looks for punishment and punishment creates pain."
No wonder so many are plagued with serious health issues!
This all accumulates to a stressful life filled with suffering and pain. 
Is that what you choose? 
Would you prefer to choose to "Live Your Life in Holistic Harmony"?
What do you want to do to free yourself from those emotions and circumstances?
Maybe, you prefer popping pills, drowning in alcohol, feeling worthless without purpose of direction in life, existing without Self Love. Personally, I have chosen Personal Peace.  Can you think of a better alternative?
I highly suggest Emotion Code....learn it yourself or get support from a Certified Emotion Code practitioner.
In the meantime: What one thing can you do right NOW, today so that 
one day you won't wake without time to do the things you've always wanted to do? 
If not NOW....When will you listen to your inner voice....Your Soul's Wisdom:

Soul's Wisdom

12/3/12© Sharon A. Fisher

Moments of Inspiration

while driving down the road,

walking in the woods,

working around the house.


Fleeing moments of intense passion

of want n desire.

Brief inspired messages

to create a magnificent piece of art,

write a moving manuscript,

create a life of purpose.


Ignited feelings of excitement

to an otherwise routine day,

Stirrings of anticipation

left behind from yester-years

along with unfulfilled dreams.

Set aside till someday;

SOMEDAY

when the children are grown

or retirement comes,

when the personalized list of to dos is complete

when more time n money is available,

when feeling not so weary.

SOMEDAY

When is someday going to arrive?

When will these inspirations,

eruptions during day dreams

or while focused on mindless tasks

find place in a planned day

or scheduled week?


Off to they go to the back of the mind

soon forgotten.

Whispers from the Soul drowned out by need.

Once again, creative self-expression not allowed

even though directed from the Higher Self.

When will humans' agendas match their Soul's?

SOMEDAY

When choice is to Trust the momentary inspiration,

when it occurs,

rather than postponing for a more convenient time.

When Spirit moves immediate action in the present moment.

Listen to Soul's Wisdom

It's calling YOU

to Consciously co-create Personal Peace.

It's guiding YOU

toward Prosperity n Abundance.

I'd like to edit the poster on the left a bit to read: "who loved you when you BELIEVED you weren't very lovable." and add "if they really LOVED you they would love you no matter what."  and "if you loved yourself it probably wouldn't have mattered."
"Who loved you when you weren't very lovable means you are only lovable under certain conditions.  That is called conditional love.  Seems like the kind of love that needs to be earned. It goes like this; if you do this I'll love you.  If you don't act like ____ I'll love you.  I think it is better stated:  I may not like what you did, said or how you behaved AND I still love you, regardless. It boils down to ACCEPTANCE and ACKNOWLEDGMENT, to name a few. 
  What about this:  The most memorable people in your life will be the ones you remember as those who hurt you?  Do you think that a child from an abusive home is going to remember their abuser as loving them?  Maybe yes and maybe no. It may be argued. Nevertheless, children are very resilient and forgiving, and each handles abuse differently. I'll bet that a great number of them see the most memorable people as not being very loving AND as not believing they were or are very lovable.  Bottom line is that both the abuser and abused child would greatly benefit from Self Love. Then Personal Peace {the greatest benefit of working with Comfort Coaching} could exist for all! 

    My reality is that if you truly love someone you don't stop loving them.  You may not be "in" the relationship with a person any longer.  The person maybe near or far away. You may be AWARE that an ongoing relationship is no longer in your or their best interest. None of these scenarios mean you can't still love them. 
     I don't have A memorable person in my life.  I AM blessed by the love from everyone who has touched my life, because I believe that each crossed my path for a "Reason Season or Lifetime" {see poem below author unknown}.  If they don't see it from my perspective.... that's their business....MY business first and foremost is Self Love!  If I love myself I am sure to find love everywhere and in everyone I meet and if they don't find me lovable....well perhaps some healing would be in order. 
Imagine: What if everyone knew about Self Love? What if everyone was AWARE that they are the person for whom they have been searching? What might the world be like then?
I am creating a new poster which reads:
I AM the most memorable person in my life
I AM always Lovable
because I was created
from Love
for Love
to Love
I AM LOVE!

                                             Reason, Season, or Lifetime
                                                    author unknown

People come into your life for a reason, a season or a lifetime.
When you figure out which one it is,
you will know what to do for each person.

When someone is in your life for a REASON,
it is usually to meet a need you have expressed.
They have come to assist you through a difficulty;
to provide you with guidance and support.
to aid you physically, emotionally or spiritually.
They may seem like a godsend, and they are.
They are there for the reason you need them to be.

Then, without any wrongdoing on your part or at an inconvenient time,
this person will say or do something to bring the relationship to an end.
Sometimes they die.  Sometimes they walk away.
Sometimes they act up and force you to take a stand.
What we must realize is that our need has been met, our desired fulfilled;their work is done.
The prayer you sent up has been answered and now it is time to move on.

Some people come into your life for a SEASON,
because your turn has come to share, grow or learn.
They bring you an experience of peace or make you laugh.
They may teach you something you have never done.
They usually give you an unbelievable amount of joy.
Believe it. It is real.  But only for a season.

LIFETIME relationships teach you lifetime lessons;
things you must build upon in order to have a solid emotional foundation.
Your job is to accept the lesson,love the person,
and put what you have learned to use in all other relationships and areas of your life.
It is said that love is blind but friendship is clairvoyant.

   

Poetry is concise, which is why I usually express myself in that form of writing.  Sometimes there is more that needs to be said and prose fits that bill.  So for once I chose prose, ok so I threw in some poetry as well since two specific poems fit in very nicely with the subject matter, the context of the prose. 
I just had the honor, in August, to be published in one of my advertiser's magazines and want to share in hopes that you may take away an aha, lesson or feel some emotion from within yourself as you read the articles found by clicking the link below.
