Who am I really?

We use each other to mirror back to us - US. I can see the best in me in my favorites about another. Beauty and humor, matching and congruence, honesty and potential, openness and speed, I love all that about my world and the Me in it.

How about pain, loss, suffering, frustration, lack of self control, blame and loneliness?

Those are a part of me too. Yup they sure are. I hate that and I love that too.
Animals do the same mirroring, peeing critters are peeing people, urine is insecurity and a need to demonstrate it by peeing inappropriately is the lesson to see and learn from. The disease that put me in this place for the past twenty years was Interstitial Cystitis, a need to pee constantly and a lot of pain when you didn't. Thank God I got that lesson learned and put away!!

My dog Rain bosses other dogs around, I must do the same thing or she wouldn't need to do that. She keeps her own space very clear, pushing back with a snarl any animal that gets in too close. Then she kisses them later and says now that you are not invading my space I can love you up. I do believe that is me too. I have always known that I needed to protect myself and I do do that. Never having a parent or a partner to do that for me I think made me snarly. I would even snarl at them.

Now that I feel more protected in my own space by my own choices of love and light and guardian angels, her snarling bugs me. I have even disciplined her for that behavior lately. Learning to say no, without fighting or becoming defensive is a big lesson for me.

So today I choose to be calm and loving and say no quietly and firmly if I need to, without any snarls, eliminating the need to suck up later. I am learning to blame only me for me and how I feel, my heart and what I do with it is my responsibility, no one else's. Happy is a choice, you don't need a mirror to feel that way, instead, I will use my choice to do it.

Sounds workable, not easy, not yet, but workable.

So in the spirit of love, of life and self and the potential of learning and growing from this magical place we call Earth, make some awesome choices today. I have!!!

The Power to Choose

Every second there is a choice to make, luckily taking breath is automatic since that needs to be our first choice in everything we do...
SO BREATHE!!!

Now, that being accomplished, and with a clear mind and vision,
what do you choose next?

Options could be
WORDS, FOOD, ATTITUDES, BEHAVIORS, LOOKS, CLOTHES, RESPONSES, WORK, PLAY, and LOTS OF OTHER CHOICES.

Are you waiting to choose? A healthier body, a kinder personality, a better sense of justice or humor or balance. What exactly do you want now?

Have you forgotten the power in choice? There is no greater gift then choice and freedom.

The USA may have her limitations, capitalism may be out of control and changes are on the way, but she still wants you to choose.

So that being said, in my prayer each night I choose gratitude, in my morning meditation I choose faith, vision, joy, love, and truth. My truth is mine to choose as is most of all the parts of my day. I love that option and it is divine, I also choose Divine Will over Free Will every time and try my best to acquiesce to it's flow.
Not everyone here chooses that, therefore, from time to time I have to stay securely in my own little world of my own choices and forget about the choices of others.

Don't give up or give in, choose the coolest stuff you can think of, own your choices and they will be there right before your eyes in no time at all. For the holiday I choose gratitude and love and really good food and family and friends!!

AND I CHOOSE TO SHARE WITH YOU!!

Upgrade your health

We all know that coming with the dark of winter is the time of hibernation and healing. Did you see that word, healing?

It is time now,it is our time to heal.

The body slows down when out of the light, it needs to rest and recuperate. That's why we get winter, to reboot ourselves and the Earth Mother does the same thing.

What should you do?

Stay warm, take vitamin c and d-3, use immune system enhancers like Noni drops or Echinacea/Goldenseal at least one week per month. Add honey to everything, it's natural magic, is beyond your wildest dreams. Cook real food, use your stove not your microwave. Make enough to share with those you care about. Offer to help someone out, service to others is the highest form of service to self.

Laugh and sing and dance - a lot. try Zumba!! try Yoga!! Corepower will give you a free week in Woodbury, over the Thanksgiving Holiday is the perfect time to try it.

Say only what you mean and want. It is your life now. Speak the truth with wisdom and control and kindness. If you put it out there with your mouth, it is yours forever!! Tell those you thought that had authority over you that they do not get to tell you what to do anymore. You will make your own choices about your own STUFF. That includes your health, your money, your relationships, your politics or lack there of and yes, even your religion. You are your own best authority, you always were, never forget that. Tell all the bullies you know to go home and be quiet and not to contact you in any way any longer. Let go now and be in the present, for it is a gift!!

Body, mind and spirit are equal players, give them equal attention. You must be balanced to be happy and healthy. Work your body, work your mind and enrich your spirit daily. I do Angel cards each day to inspire myself, I meditate and journal, I do yoga everyday and I read and listen to music everyday. AND LOOK AT HOW GOOD I TURNED OUT!

Happy Holiday, be grateful, for gratitude is very attractive. Namaste' Dr. Su

Dakota 38

I need to help you see this film, look up the trailer on the Dakota Website, I'll get more details today after our ceremony at Cold Springs.

38 plus 2 DEAD

I was invited to a preview of a beautiful documentary at Ft. Snelling yesterday. A gentleman named Sheldon Wolf Child showed his film of the realization of a man's dream.

The dream was to have a 330 mile horseback ride to Mankato, where the day after Christmas long ago, President Lincoln ordered the mass murder of 38 Dakota Indians. They had been hungry and started battle for food for their people and the result was their assassination, the largest ever carried out in the USA.

Jim Miller dreamt it was time to go back to Mankato on horseback at Christmas and find forgiveness for all who participated in this sad reality. AND THAT'S WHAT THEY DID. From 330 miles away in South Dakota, where they lived, across snowy lands and down icy roads they rode for 16 days, to arrive on the 26th day of December in 2008.

What a powerful story. We have long felt the sting of self pity and the depression that comes with the idea that we are victims. 150 years later these people chose a different road and decided to become victors instead. The peace that comes with mercy and compassion is the whole story of the healing of humanity. We each have many stories like this one from many times and many lives.

In honour of these healers, those who chose to let go now and live in peace in their own hearts, let us all let go of something painful. See backwards to a death or a loss that breaks your heart and offer that broken heart to the Creator for healing.
Ask for the peace that passes all human understanding and embrace a new day filled with the love of life here and all it offers, easy and HARD.

Jim told me after that showing, my horses, because they are quarter horses, could have never made the trip, he said they only could have gotten a "quarter" of the way!!

Now that's what I like, sassy and willing to laugh, even after a film of tears. Thank you Jim and Sheldon and all who did this project, may the Universe use it in a mighty way!! Namaste' to all, Dr.Su

All we need, everyday in everyway.

So much has been brought into the light since the millennium shift. Over and over, illusions and realities are shattered by shifts in perception. I told my client that our views of the same thing were so very different since he was 6' 2" and I am 5'5". and seeing on the top shelf of my products is so much easier and clear for him then it is for me. It is that way in all things, two people, see points of view and two different ways of perceiving that view.

So in my prayer today I say simply this.

With the gift of my sight and faith combined now, I ask that easily, within my reach , all that I need to nourish myself and flourish here, be obvious and accessible. So be it and so it is.

Simple, to the point and totally doable. No more and no less.

We have struggled to maintain the illusion, let the truth be the order of the day, and let the authenticity of that personal truth add to your experience!! Be proud of yourself and your willing nature, celebrate yet another beautiful day and the chance to be the blessing you choose to receive. Namaste' Dr. Su
