Starting over Again and Again in Paris with Light

On my mind this week is —-it is time to start over again and again and again and. ….

Each day is different …..

Each time is scary ….

But I do it anyway!

For the longest time, I’ve been stuck in this place, just trying to survive my life.

It’s been a mishmash of an emotional rollercoaster with spots of joy mixed in.

It’s been hard to keep going sometimes, never knowing what challenges the day would throw at me.

After a while, I stopped living and started just trying to make it..

And that’s a terrible place to be.

There’s very little joy in the deepest darkness and I found myself stuck there.

But throughout it all, no matter where my steps took me, I always lifted my head and tried to find the light.

I knew it was out there, I just kept getting blindsided by all the disasters life could muster.

One thing was certain.

I had to grow.

I had to change.

I had to transform who I was and how I thought to rise above the struggles that threatened to consume me.

Step by step, day by day, I climbed out of rock bottom and started seeing the light.

Okay, so I live in Paris.   It does not matter.

Nice is prettier . 

But Paris is Paris is Paris…. The city of light. The city of love.  Ugh.

“She sat at the back and they said she was shy,

She led from the front and they hated her pride,

They asked her advice and then questioned her guidance,

They branded her loud, then were shocked by her silence,

When she shared no ambition they said it was sad,

So she told them her dreams and they said she was mad,

They told her they’d listen, then covered their ears,

And gave her a hug while they laughed at her fears,

And she listened to all of it thinking she should,

Be the girl they told her to be best as she could,

But one day she asked what was best for herself,

Instead of trying to please everyone else,

So she walked to the forest and stood with the trees,

She heard the wind whisper and dance with the leaves,

She spoke to the willow, the elm and the pine,

And she told them what she’d been told time after time,

She told them she felt she was never enough,

She was either too little or far far too much,

Too loud or too quiet, too fierce or too weak,

Too wise or too foolish, too bold or too meek,

Then she found a small clearing surrounded by firs

And she stopped…and she heard what the trees said to her,

And she sat there for hours not wanting to leave,

For the forest said nothing, it just let her breathe.

June 7, 2023

I am astounded by the incompetence of the nurses on this floor of this hospital and I have stopped expecting them to help the patients 

Breakfast was thrown at me and pills left on my tray. I had no help getting to the toilet and cleaning 

I went to kini and complained about everything. And it is only 11 o clock. And a nurse just changed my bed linens and I already done Duo

I want to go home 

Ugh 

Somehow I have made it through this day and I will get through tomorrow.But I don’t know how I will ever get back home again. 

I dread tonight and sleeping in my pee.

I want to go home.

The bed is comfortable and the bedroom is private and the food is good-,, but I don’t trust anyone here to help me .

I want to go home.

I think I will be fine at home but I need to try and get my apartment in order . 

As I sit and think about my life-

Where I’ve been, what I’ve done..even the challenges I’ve faced-

Something stands out at me every time.

There were many times that I’ve wanted something so badly…

Whether it was a new job, a potential love, even the small things, too,

I always ended up finding my way to something better than what I set out to get.

At the time, all I could focus on was that I was disappointed and discouraged about not getting what I wanted…

But now that time has passed,

I realize that everything happens for a reason..

And it’s always because I deserved better.

A better love story, a higher quality job, even a more appealing future.

Every door that closed led me to the door I was always meant to enter.

Truthfully, I couldn’t be more thankful for the broken hearts that taught me and strengthened me, dead ends that opened my eyes and setbacks that turned into comebacks.

I couldn’t see it at the time, but everything happens the way it is meant to..

And that’s not comforting when you’re hurting.

But the older I’ve gotten and the more stuff that I’ve been through, I realize that the bigger picture of my life isn’t something I’ll always see when I’m in the middle of a struggle.

I have to hold onto the fact that I deserve the best out of life and I’m never going to settle for less.

So, as I sit back and take a sip of my drink, I can’t help but smile just a little.

Every broken road has led me right to where I’m meant to be..

And I’m going to make the most out of every opportunity, each day and all the dreams I have for myself…

I’m worth that…and so much more

———

Doing the work consciously and opening our minds and hearts to love and compassion is what heals. 

Making the unconscious, conscious and allowing the flow of our emotions, thoughts and sensations is what heals. 

Breathing through the need to understand and allowing the body’s consciousness to awaken and guide us back to earth, is what heals. 

Accepting all versions of ourselves from the space of unconditional love, grace and forgiveness is what heals. 

Allowing the answers to flow and letting go of our own need to control time, relationships and space is what heals. 

When we show up every day with a fresh breath of faith and appreciation for a conscious and healthy soul and body presence in harmony with our Divine Essence, our Truth, God and Creation, we are healing, we are grounded and we allow ourselves to evolve and enlighten the path for others. 

Healing needs Acceptance, Love and Accountability. 

Healing is the consistent Question: What is this Situation trying to teach me? 

Healing needs us to walk the talk. 

Healing is the Mental Approach: Yes, I Can. 

Healing is the Journey: Thank You. 

Sending love to you from Paris.

Best, Jay

Today is Saturday, June 3, 2023

On my mind today is how wonderful some nurses are and how terrible and mean others are.

Last night, I had a mean one.

As a result, I did not sleep well. And today I don’t feel well.

I don’t like mean nurses.

My concern is that I am being abusing my body to help me get better and stronger while doctors want me to take medication for my heart and pumping my body with medication. 

I don’t like doctors.

I don’t like medicine.

I like healthy food and vitamins.

I know it’s hard to believe in yourself because you’ve been downtrodden and at rock bottom for so long.

But this is where you start your comeback.

This is the chapter in your life that changes your life..

And it’s all up to you.

Before you say I’m naive, that I don’t know how hard it is or that I don’t know what it means to be tired..

I do.

I’ve been where you are and I made a choice to rise from the ashes of the old life that I burned down..

So, it’s your turn to choose to rise up or stay down.

Whatever your dreams are, no matter how big or how small,

You’ve got this.

Learn to dance.

Start a new career.

Skydive.

And when you get to that point where you’re scared and maybe it even hurts a little..

Keep going.

Your best days, your loudest laughter and deepest loves are still ahead of you.

Stop saying what could go wrong and start believing what could go right.

It’s your life.

You’ve got one shot.

Make it a memorable one.

In the end, it’s all up to you.

Ugh.

Can I do it today and tomorrow?

I am going to try. Wish me luck 

No choice because I don’t want to die 

Period!!

June Begins in Paris 2023 from my Hospital Bed

This is on my mind this week…..

My Flat Tire Theory!

Two cars are on a one-lane road traveling very fast and headed for a head-on collision 

One car has a flat tire and has to pull off the road to repair the tire.  The other car goes speeding past, avoiding the head-on collision .

Often things happen and plans are changed ????? God’s watching out for us!

I fell and had to go to the hospital and do physical therapy to get stronger and better   !!!!!

God’s work ?

I don’t know.

And so,

She decided to go on a journey

with her baggage.

She carried all of it

to the land

that nurtured the soles of her feet.

She wore a tiny crown.  

Because her baggage

as much as it had been a weight and

a secret; a shame,

and messy embarrassment

was also that which made her to be

who she was!

So she ritualized it. 

She took a deep breath

deeper than Lake Baikal 

in Siberia and spoke,

“I declare my baggage

a celebration of myself!”

The winds swelled like a pregnant sea. 

and licked her face

kissing away her salty tears.

The moon cried

out of gratitude 

that something so small

could carry so much honesty.

She realized that her journey

would go easier

and be lighter

if she released what she no longer needed.

She was attached to her baggage!

How would she dispose of it?

She sorted and piled up the stories

and the pieces

and took away only what could fit 

into one small bag.

She stood with her back 

to the weight of old things

and waited

for the song of the universe 

to guide her further.

~Stasha Ginsburg

~~~~,

Stop telling yourself all the cants you’ve made yourself believe.

You’re better than that, so shrinking yourself for the expectations of others or because you’re afraid will never be enough for you.

It’s okay to be scared..

That means you’re alive- in fact, we’re all scared at first.

Before you do it, it may seem impossible or implausible,

And that’s okay, too.

Please don’t tell me that you’re too old, too tired, too beaten down or too weak.

I know it’s hard to believe in yourself because you’ve been downtrodden and at rock bottom for so long.

But this is where you start your comeback.

This is the chapter in your life that changes your life..

And it’s all up to you.

Before you say I’m naive, that I don’t know how hard it is or that I don’t know what it means to be tired..

I do.

I’ve been where you are and I made a choice to rise from the ashes of the old life that I burned down..

And when you get to that point where you’re scared and maybe it even hurts a little..

Keep going.

Your best days, your loudest laughter and deepest loves are still ahead of you.

It’s your life.

Just Getting a Grip as June begins

This is on my mind this week….

I am so happy that I am still alive and trying to get better but it’s not easy because I am still dizzy and confused and I had my first therapy session today . Ugh !

HELP!!!!!

I dont want to do anything. I want to go home .

No one tells me anything They trick me ! 

Okay I need to get a grip!

———-

One thought….

I realized today that I’ve been looking at things all the wrong way..

Well, at least for me.

I’ve been thinking my life wasn’t enough or that things haven’t gone my way so much that I’ve forgotten that I can control it all.

It’s up to me what I see- not just what I look at.

I’ve been staring at the glass thinking it’s not full enough or too empty and stopped remembering that I can keep filling that glass every day just as much as I want to.

I don’t have to be okay with accepting less than I want…

In fact, I’m tired of that.

I need more.

I deserve more.

More happiness, more fun, more things that fill my soul and fire my passions.

I’m through chasing empty pursuits, hanging around negativity and letting toxic people stay in my life.

I’m not going to keep looking at that glass and hoping it was fuller.

I will take every chance to fill it to the brim and live the life I want.

No more settling, excuses and feeling disappointed.

I’ve tried that and it just doesn’t work.

I’m welcoming all the people, places and adventures that make me feel alive and bring depth to my soul.

Maybe that means taking road trip without a map.

Perhaps that means dancing in the kitchen with the music turned all the way up.

Or maybe, just maybe…

That means setting out in search of love, laughter and happily ever after-

And never looking back.

———

Another idea 

What goes around comes around. 

 I didn’t believe that my family would abandon me in my old age but they did and have !  My daughter told me she was going to.  I didn’t believe her.  I should have because she did.  Oops 

She thought I was a witch with supernatural powers.  I wish…..

And I am alive and alone in Paris France. Without supernatural powers.  Oops 

Welllllllll.  It could be a lot worse.  There, for the grace of God, go I.

BIG OOPS!!!!!

But the only important thing is that I am alive and I was 86 on March 30th.  

My grandmother lived to be 112 almost.  So my DNA is good.  I still have time to write a book about my interesting life,  

I’m trying to write something down and let my thoughts free flow for a few minutes.  

I wish…

What?

What do I wish?  

To be younger 

To get stronger 

To travel places 

To have Good health 

So I am focusing on good health.

Mother did a wonderful job with her family.  Bravo for Mother and now it is New Year’s Eve and I didn’t like 2022.  Good bye Mother was fear based NO!

Flip to Maverick 

I love the holidays.  

This Christmas, I realized for the first time how frightened Mary must have been to be pregnant and no one would believe her that she had not had sex with a man.  I wouldn’t.  Would you ?   No.  And Joseph helped her anyway because he loved her.  

I was pregnant and knew I was pregnant but I had slept with a man and a baby girl was on her way I chose to have her.

And the Magi were people in foreign countries who were astrologers and had to travel by camel caravans.  It took a long time.  Maybe a year or more.

WOW 

I want to write a book letting my mind just free flow and see what happens .  I have written excellent posts on Jayspeak and people from all over the world read what I have to say!!!  Amazing!  Maybe . I have to remember how to use the computer with the new brain I am working with.  

I have had a wonderful life and I think it would be a wonderful film for a producer and it is still going on!! I have lots of ideas for Paris but got stopped in my tracks by the pandemic and brain strokes and fear galore. But I think it will be over at some point and I will continue….  The War and the New Normal and Climate Change  and God’s Plan to be a light in the dark for a hurting world. I often think of my daughter.  She is 65 

I have some additional information to add as time goes on.  Spring is around the corner and I am glad.

Why did I unfriend so many people ?  I wish I had not done that. Adele Scheele linking and connecting .  Her book is Skills for Success and I followed her recommendations. 

So I have begun to do it again in Paris and I will see how it goes. I may rent a summer cottage in Brittany this summer. But I would need help to get from here to there. It all takes money . Hmmm

Best , Jay

Thoughts From a hospital bed in Paris

This is on my mind this week…..

I am writing from the hospital bed so please understand 

A thought ..,,,

I don’t like daylight savings time. And I don’t like coverups.  Truth does not matter anymore and I don’t like that. 

I like nighttime for sleeping and ´

TRUTH MATTERS 

Another thought …….

I realized today that I’ve been looking at things all the wrong way..

Well, at least for me.

I’ve been thinking my life wasn’t enough or that things haven’t gone my way so much that I’ve forgotten that I can control it all.

It’s up to me what I see- not just what I look at.

I’ve been staring at the glass thinking it’s not full enough or too empty and stopped remembering that I can keep filling that glass every day just as much as I want to.

I don’t have to be okay with accepting less than I want…

In fact, I’m tired of that.

I need more.

I deserve more.

More happiness, more fun, more things that fill my soul and fire my passions.

I’m through chasing empty pursuits, hanging around negativity and letting toxic people stay in my life.

I’m not going to keep looking at that glass and hoping it was fuller.

I will take every chance to fill it to the brim and live the life I want.

Maybe that means taking road trip without a map.

Perhaps that means dancing in the kitchen with the music turned all the way up.

Or maybe, just maybe…

That means setting out in search of love, laughter and happily ever after-

And never looking back

Another thought…..

There is little you can do to make everyone like you.

Some people will see the real you, straight away. 

The you with the worries, the fears, the kind heart. 

Others will only see what you have that is not theirs. 

Or who you have. 

Or a life that sparkles a tad too brightly for their liking.

In Some People’s Story You’re An Angel, In Others You’re The Villain.

And that is pretty much that.

If you are spending any time worrying how others see you, or whether they think you are a good person or not, you are wasting precious time my friend.

Precious time that is much needed elsewhere.

Is is universal truth that you cannot please all of the people all of the time.

That in fact, the best way to get even close to this goal, is to stop trying and to just be your authentic self, with kindness.

Always with kindness.

So, if you have been hurt by an unjust representation of you in someone’s story, take comfort in the fact that it is not the truth.

And that the right people will see that.

Keep your sparkly little light shining and your people will find you.

And they will stay.

And you will never have to convince them of who you are.

Best, Jay

More Life Thoughts From Jay in Paris With Love

This is on my mind….  

Where am I going and what do I really want to do? 

I wanted to get to Paris but do I want to stay here ??

I don’t know.  I don’t like this apartment but I don’t have the money to move. And I am overthinking everything but this apartment is not quality and I don’t like it.  And the days are flying by when I am on quality time.

But I have a Plan if I can find a way ..,

“The Plan”

I want to provide a Safe Haven for my people and family who need to feel safe in today’s chaotic world. I have named it “Chez Clarissa”and these are the details: 

(I dont know if this will work – mixing the currencies of two countries but I am going to try because I need to get started and I have people to help me with international currencies)

Two story townhouse on a tree lined street in a gated community in an excellent neighborhood in Paris with a full staff of eight or nine saleries

– care taking couple of family with child in studio upstairs and salary to be negotiated

-chef

– soo chef in studio off kitchen 

Gardener 

Accountant 

Personal Assistant 

Driver and Mercedes 

Couple on call for day trips 

Service fresh flowers delivery everywhere on 4 tables

Real wood real brass working fireplace Steinway piano 2 dogs Missy and Laurel and two cats Chipper and Tigger

Concierge  for booking 

Budget is estimated at $3 million dollars but I don’t know about the income stream after the initial purchase so that could change. 

Where is the money ??

I hope the universe will provide..´??

Well, I must work on it.

Today, I realized, there are really times when time passes us by not because time is spinning fast but actually because we have unconsciously let it. Like in the things unsaid, the risks not taken, and feelings taken advantage of, all because of fear or unforeseen circumstances. 

Time and time again we are told, that life is too short to be overly conscious — to just live the way we want to, as long as we’re not purposely hurting or stepping on anyone; to live everyday because we only die once. 

I hope we all find the courage to live — to not only exist and survive but to live abundantly doing what we love, with the people who matter to us, and with a sound heart and mind. I pray we all have that.

Karma and Trauma Re – Activation

Did you know that every time you talk about an unhealed wound or trauma, you re-activate it in your emotional, spiritual and physical bodies? As you speak, or even think, about an old issue, you experience it as if it is happening right now. Since your subconscious mind does not know the difference between current experience and past memory, for all intents and purposes, the trauma or negative experience is happening now.

When you re-activate old painful memories, your thoughts, words and emotions create a negative karmic energy that you unknowingly project out into your future. This karmic energy manifests in more painful experiences, similar to the original issue. In other words, when issues come up without resolution, a karmic loop or pattern develops.

Each time this karmic pattern manifests in real life situations, you re-experience the original wound and the current hurt simultaneously. When this occurs, it is a powerful opportunity to heal the past wound by healing the current one.

Unfortunately, when an issue is re-activated, instead of using it as a healing opportunity, many of us react by pushing the wounds down with numbing substances like food, drugs, internet, Facebook, TV, and a long list of other distractions.

Unhealed issues get stored in the body, until we release them. The body obliges as a storehouse for emotional wounds but it does take its toll, especially if issues are accumulated for long periods of time. Storing wounds in the body eventually weakens the body and invites illness and disease, as well as causing depression, fatigue, stress and weight gain. The good news is that the body is ready to release issues, the moment you are.

When an unhealed issue is re-activated, don’t just push it down – take the time to finally heal it. This means creating intentional space to feel your emotions and allow the issue to process through to Healing. Once you allow yourself to fully experience these emotions for the first time, without resistance, you will innately know what path to healing is right for you.

Wounds are meant to be healed. We are not meant to spend our lives carrying around past issues and hurts. Unhealed issues weigh us down, keep us asleep and prevent us from consciously creating. It is only our personal issues that stop us from experiencing our greatest potential. Holding onto issues keeps us limited and unable to reach that mountain top.

Because of the shifts going on in the collective consciousness and the higher energy now available on this planet, it has never been easier to release old issues. In fact, issues are now coming to the surface to be resolved. This is why so many of us are experiencing familiar challenges. Wounds want to be healed and issues want to be released, but you have the last say. None of this can happen until you are ready and willing.

You are meant to be free and clear of emotional burdens. You are meant to live a limitless life with an abundance of love and creativity. You are meant to stand on the mountain top with arms stretched wide – willing to receive your grandest dreams. The Universe is listening. Nanice Ellis

Life Thoughts

👵Written by a 90 year old, 42 lessons life taught me 💖

It is something we should all read at least once a week! Make sure you read to the end!

Written by Regina Brett, 90 years old, of the Plain Dealer, Cleveland, Ohio.

“To celebrate growing older, I once wrote the 42 lessons life taught me. It is the most requested column I’ve ever written.

My odometer rolled over to 90 in August, so here is the column once more:

1. Life isn’t fair, but it’s still good.

2. When in doubt, just take the next small step.

3. Life is too short – enjoy it..

4. Your job won’t take care of you when you are sick. Your friends and family will.

5. Pay off your credit cards every month.

6. You don’t have to win every argument. Stay true to yourself.

7. Cry with someone. It’s more healing than crying alone.

8. Save for retirement starting with your first pay check.

9. When it comes to chocolate, resistance is futile.

10. Make peace with your past so it won’t screw up the present.

11. It’s OK to let your children see you cry.

13. If a relationship has to be a secret, you shouldn’t be in it…

14 Take a deep breath. It calms the mind.

17. It’s never too late to be happy. But it’s all up to you and no one else.

18. When it comes to going after what you love in life, don’t take no for an answer.

And finally 

Women, you can begin to heal your feminine energy by limiting who has access to you. You need to see yourself as precious as a diamond & very valuable. It does not matter if no one else is seeing this worth, it matters that you do. Just as you would ensure a very rare & special diamond needs high protection, so does your essence & being. Only those that truly meet you correctly should have a key to enter you. This is the fastest way out of engaging with karmics, jesters, page boy energies. 

Your time & energy are very valuable & by prioritizing yourself & self-worth, you will begin to see a shift in the quality of your connections & draw in healthy masculine energy that provides safety & full commitment of a King or Emperor. Put your own heart on the pedestal & trust it can & will be matched. You do not have to pull yourself down to receive love. You do not need to ever participate in uneven exchanges of energy. Be cautious of your social presence also. Limiting access to you applies for this too. Each time you do not feel validated in any way, instead of giving away your beautiful energy, see yourself as a child, hug yourself, validate your child self with love.~ 𝐴𝑏𝑖𝑔𝑎𝑖𝑙 𝑆𝑡𝑒𝑙𝑙𝑎𝑟 𝑆ℎ𝑒𝑘𝑖𝑛𝑎ℎ
