YOU!
Do you find yourself saying can’t?
Do you think its just too hard?
Take baby steps. Tell yourself you can. Tell yourself everyday, several times a day. I CAN Change your thoughts, change your life.
OUTrageous!
I grew up feeling so very alone, disconnected, angry, lost sad and very desperate! Was this my life I wondered? Was this some joke forced on me by the universe? Was I a science experiment to see how much a human can tolerate?
I wanted………………………………. something. I was empty inside. What was it I was missing? I didn’t even know.
The chaos at home would drowned out my own thoughts which were replaced by those of my parents. Their screaming “I hate you!” and “You are bad” and my favorite, “Wait till you grow up, then you will see how it really is.”
I did grow up and you know what? I do see how it really is.
While I asked those questions about my life, like, “Why me?” I felt pain. I felt my heart breaking. I held on to the loneliness, the depression, the anger and I hated my life! I did this for many years and I struggled for perspective and meaning from a past that had none!
Then there were a few years of, Who am I really? and What is my purpose here? My life began to turn around in big ways. One day I found myself asking, what am I grateful for? Who and what do I love? Is there a way to serve and make meaning so that my life matters? I have friends who have marveled at the peace I have today.
What I want you to know is this: You quality of life is in so many ways determined by the quality of the questions in your heart, mind and soul. Change your questions for just 10 days. See how you feel about it.
Namaste,
Annie
Seek and you shall find.
Ask and you shall receive.
Knock the door shall be opened.
This is law! The Universe is calling to your power. It calls for you to find your gift in this life. Ask the question and listen to the answer!
Seek your gift! Everyone has one. But you have to seek it, become conscious of it. Most are asking, how can I make more money, get more things, collect more stuff. How can I avoid pain?
Instead ask what power is in me? How can I become more myself? How can I achieve my potential?
Survivors!! It is not too late to become aware of the wonders that are inside you once you take the time to look. You can do it reflecting from the comfort of your sofa. You can ponder on a walk. You can discuss it with a trustworthy friend. Spend just five minutes out of your busy day on this quest for self-enlightenment and empowerment. You are not the past. You are the future.
We all have power that we might think was taken away. We all have a gift that no one told us to look for.
What is yours?

Survivors grow up. Yes that’s what we do. Survive, get out, move on.
HOW?
I get that question almost every day. How? How did I do it?
The goal here on this blog is to bring you ideas, thoughts and inspiration. If what you are doing is working, share! Share it here!
If what you are doing is not working, Why not try someone elses idea? I like to say, my road is not the only road. It is simply my road. It might be yours for a while. Maybe I will go down your road for a while. If what you are doing is not working you must ask yourself, “Why isn’t this working?” Then adjust!
Step out of your comfort zone.
Dare to try new things.
Dream things for yourself.
You deserve it.
Profoundly simple and profoundly difficult. Is it really just an idle thought on a Sunday night? No! Not at all!
Consider this thought from Andrew Carnegie:
Any idea that is held in the mind, that is either feared, or revered, will begin at once to clothe itself in the most conveinient and appropriate form available….
Key words are feared and revered. Why are both words key to us as survivors? As children we feared and indeed revered our abuser(s) They shaped our beliefs about ourselves. They controlled our belief of ourselves and to survive we clothed ourselves in the most conveinient and appropriate form available. We also did it out of innocence.
What do you believe today?
It’s good to be back! Annie
