Amends Bring Accord
My vocabulary has grown since I began my spiritual
journey. The longer I am on this path,
new words occur for my growing vocabulary. Over the years I find a new
understanding of words. Their deeper
meaning provides a way of life that was new to me, 32 years ago. Amends was a
new word to me. I was trying so hard to be perfect; I did not understand the
significance and wisdom behind this action.
My first amends was to my mother right out of treatment. I
told my counselor the story and he said I was not responsible for her feelings.
I had always gone around saying, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry I am
alive." This was to calm the waters around me and I became the sacrificial
lamb in the family. I found out I did not need to make amends to her for this
particular situation. I then found out it is a good idea to check this idea of
amends with my counselor to see if it is appropriate.
Then, I made an amends to a fellow worker for talking a
chart off her desk, as I as too lazy to make my own. At the time she discovered
what I had done, she was furious. However, she was most pleasant about it when
I made my amends. She told me that it takes a big person to apologize. I was
only trying to get rid of my anxiety and guilt because I worked with her every
day. I did not see my action as anything more than wanting to find my inner peace and
serenity.
I made an amends to my daughter for leaving her and her
brother alone in a motel at Disneyland while her dad and I went drinking. This
had been tearing me apart for years, emotionally. Surprisingly, I found out she
was not upset at her abandonment without a dinner. She understood, she told me.
She knew what would happen if I had not gone with him. She was upset about an
entirely different incident, of which I never knew was a problem to her.
I heard in a meeting about forgiving yourself. That was not
something I had heard about before. I thought about this, over time. Now, I
understand that forgiveness is about leaving the past in the past, so I can
live in the day, one day at a time. Amends change my energy into harmony when I
let it go. Most people have accepted my amends graciously.
As I have forgiven myself, I do not have to beat myself up
for not being perfect. Now, I understand where and when I need to make right
with another person for my actions that harm them. It may be restitution,
reimbursement, or acknowledging I was wrong.
Recently, I was very tired from overdoing when walking and
climbing stars that day on a tour, because of my arthritis. In a conversation
with my fellow that evening about dinner plans for the next evening, I got
angry. I vented well because it could have been a short talk and he kept making
it more complicated. I let him get the blunt of my tiredness from being
exhausted and in pain. In a few minutes after hanging up on him, I called back
and told him that I realized how dog-tired I was and that I was sorry I had had
gotten so angry from overdoing it on the excursion. Today, I recognize it
sooner, take responsibility for it faster, and move on.
This changes my energy into harmony and releases it into the past. I do not have to carry that with me anymore. I can be free of that weight and be liberated to enjoy my life. Amends allows me to give up the wrongs and enjoy the presence of God today.

The Secret For Reality
One Day at a Time —The Secret For Reality
The idea of “One Day at a Time”
was new to me. I always had to protect myself from past harms and was very
focused on how to be safe. I did not know that I was reliving the past
repeatedly and reacting to those old situations. As I worked through the
principles presented in my first columns, I was able to leave my history
behind, one fear at a time. In addition, I could release my resentments, as I
was no longer the little 5 year old throwing a temper tantrum that life did not
go my way.
As I let go of my past negative
thoughts and actions that had been recreating my going around on the hamster
wheel, I could now move off the old rotation and into the present time. This
frees me not to carry the burdens of the earlier experiences. My head can clear
of those messages that kept me reacting as if I was still in the old
predicaments.
The emotional damage from
punishment was severely ingrained for not getting the chores done as directed.
I was beaten, humiliated, and shamed for not measuring up to my stepfather’s
standards and requirements. Therefore, I acted in extremes to be perfect to
escape his chastisement. However, there was always another predicament and
price to pay. This kept me a victim and always vigilant trying to stay safe. It
felt like I was always in a war zone. Focusing on the past for me was about
survival.
At the same time, I had a huge
worry about the future, especially, my financial security. My fear of not
having money began at the age of three. My mother and real father fought every
night, and I felt abandoned and without any security in my life. How would I
get money for food? If they were not there for me, how would I eat? This fear followed
me throughout my life until recently.
My mother was raised in the Great
Depression in the United States. She taught me the fear of financial insecurity
well. I was to keep my meager amount of money from birthday gifts in the bank
until a rainy day. I kept track of every penny I had or spent. That was the
rule. I never had an allowance to blow on myself. If I did not buy a souvenir
on a vacation, that was considered a good choice. Even in my marriage, I wrote
down every penny spent for the family. To spend money on me meant I might not
have the food I would need in my future.
Therefore, coming to terms that
they were sick people and I do not have to follow their demands anymore became
freeing. It became essential to release the past and the future so I could live
in the NOW—One Day at a Time. In my earlier years, I was never in reality.
Accepting that the past cannot be redone, improved, or changed. I can replace
the old messages and fire those voices in my head. I can make my own rules and
give myself approval for my actions. This meant moving beyond my childish
endurance. I cannot pray for a better past. It is over.
The past was a fantasy that no
longer existed. My worries about the future were unrealistic hope or figments
of my imagination. I so much wanted to have everyone get along and treat me
decently. My prayers for a happy family were not going to happen. That daydream
never came true. I have to create my happiness and not depend on them to make
me happy or provide my needs.
Living in the present time is a
novel idea. Reality is in the moment to moment. Life is only right now. I have
a roof over my head, food for the next meal, a car to get me to my activities.
How I handle my life right now builds my future. If I offer loving help, listen
to someone, or do a kindness for someone, it will come back to me. When I drive
a friend to the grocery store or contribute my time or money to a good cause, I
am creating my potential.
As an adult, I see where I can
contribute to others. Instead of a love taker, I became a love giver. My future
becomes caring, kindness, and being helpful. I build my own future by how I
respond in love now. What I give away returns as abundance.
Now, it is possible to make good
choices. I no longer react from the past and am acting in loving ways. I make
amends where it is appropriate to right my side of the street and trust the
universe to give me direction and guidance for my life. The ego is no longer
running my show, I am.
I just do the next right
indicated thing as I move through the day. This is the secret for being in
reality. Now I can be fully engaged in what is happening around me: the sights,
smells, sounds, the people, things, and the ideas that occur. When I learn to
value each day, using it wisely, and fully, I need not react when it ebbs into
yesterdays, nor waste it by projecting my thoughts into tomorrows.
Living one day at a time allows
me to brush away my previous days, to let go of my dread of tomorrow, and get
on with my life, now. I seize today, put it in order, and fully make it my
own. I take time to stop and smell the roses, and take my life One Day at
a Time. I am happy in reality.
Today I Will:
1. Slow down
2. Enjoy the flowers
3. Be kind to others and myself
4. Remember everything is OK.
5. Reduce my expectations
6. Increase my laughter
7. Be less sensitive
8. Hug my lover
9. Not over react
10. Meet all events with confidence
11. Release the past
12. Enjoy the quality of life’s
journey
I share my experience and
strength hoping t it will enrich your life.

Be Emotionally Available
Are you able to be emotionally
available to yourself and those around you? Most people think they listen to
their feelings. Stuffing feelings with alcohol, prescription drugs, food, overachieving,
and being a workaholic, all stop emotions from evolving. I did this for years,
until my health became nearly terminal.
It is much easier to cover these
emotions with behavior, imbibing excessively with drinks or foodstuff, or other
addictions. I did not want to feel the fear, anger, or anxiety. It is easier to
ignore my guilt, shame, or resentments, and then be honest with myself. These
deceitful ways of ignoring my inner messages that help me ultimately understand
who I really am, causes more problems than I realize.
Over time, suppressing toxic
energy, of fearful feelings or secrets can, often cause medical symptoms as
cancer or other diseases. Taking toxic substances impair my best intentions. In
addition self-destructing behaviors need transformation for a healthy conscious
life. Ultimately, without releasing my negative, non-productive energy in my body,
I cannot feel my inner guidance system of feelings. My emotional life shuts
down.
Information brings insight and
understanding of how fear can change to love Now available are a couple talks
by Marilyn Redmond about this process of moving into being emotionally
available at http://angelicasgifts.com/lectures.htm.
"Ego to Heart" and "Emotional Recovery in Alcoholics Anonymous"
are helpful. Your life can evolve into the “Great Reality” of love.. This
allows replacing the old depressing emotional past with the love that is being
blocked from flowing through your life.
When the new incoming feelings of
love can replace my old worry, anxiety, and apprehensive history, I move into
experiencing the moment. I am emotionally available to love and joyful feelings
as my reward. I am available to communicate honestly with others and myself. As
I release the past emotional baggage, feeling good becomes my daily focus. I have evolved into the person I was born to
be. I come alive and out of the darkness. Living in the present or “Now” feels
good.
"Road to Success" just
published shares inspiration and tools to become real. My book, “Paradigm Busters,
Revealing the Real You”, gives details of "how" to make the changes
within and become a genuine person. The highly rated book, “The Real Meaning of
2012, A New Paradigm Bringing Heaven to Earth”, is also available. It tells how
to reduce the influence of the ego.
