Ever After

Here I'm sitting at my daughter's house, getting kids settled down and watching the movie. Interesting how stories develop over time. I'm not going to go through the movie chapter by chapter so if you want to know the movie details, you must rent it.

The point I gathered and pondered throughout was the development of stories. We all have stories that began somewhere, over time we or others embellish them to fit the situation.

It's interesting how I have learned that what I thought was a big deal when I was younger doesn't seem such a big deal as an adult. The story that sticks out in my mind, that was huge as I was growing up, was I had red hair. Red hair is not that big a deal but when you are the ONLY person in the whole entire school --- yes in ALL grades (Kindergarten thru 6th) with red hair, you kinda stand out! I truly felt like an alien.

I was told I had a hot temper, I was hard headed, stubborn etc. When in fact, I was pretty easy going, sensitive and not all that stubborn. I was given labels my entire life! Not just by others but also by me.

This last year, I fully understood the power of labels. The power of removing them!
Labels are definitions of who you are ... how silly it is we hang onto those labels without learning if they are true or not. Sometimes we simply live up to them.

If you are ready to release your labels...let's get started.
Begin writing down all the labels you have in all areas. Here are a few listed.

1. physical: Are you a daughter, Mother, Brother, Father, sister, gender, skin color, tall, short etc.
2. Business: What is your career, education background, income level, etc
3. Spiritual: what religion are you, what beliefs create labels, are you spiritual or not etc

You get the idea. Now get to work ..... message me and give me ONE label you are giving up (removing) and why.

Have fun!
