I love music. For me it rates right up there with water and oxygen. It is organic, nutritious food for my soul. And some songs are simply my “comfort food”.

Steve and I met in Northern California 30 years ago. Since then, his music has sustained and encouraged hundreds of thousands around the world. He’s a genuine human being, interested in raising the experience of the human condition to “something even better”. And his song “To Be Who I am” is one of my “go tos” when I need a little encouragement to stretch myself a little further, BE more of who I know myself to be, and contribute more deeply to the life experience of others with whom I share this journey!

• I forgive myself for believing that I am defined by others.
• I give myself permission to define myself and let who I really am shine.
•  I can regret what has happened in the past, or I can make a new decision and move forward defining who I really am. I choose to define who I really am!
• I am free to define myself today by the smile I give the next person I meet!
• I know what it feels like to show up authentically in the best way I know how!
• I am being the best I can be, moment to moment, and discovering who I really am!

“Misery was all I got when I tried being what I’m not

The angels cheered from up above when I started doing what I love.

We all have our own roads to travel,

And we all have our own lights to shine

It’s been a long hard lesson, but I’ve come to understand

I was meant to be who I am.”

You were meant to be yourself – no one else can do that! Here’s to showing up and playing full-on!

Namaste,

I’ve been divorced twice, and so has he. We both knew what we wanted, but it just never quite came together – until we met and it did! The magic of a new relationship is a wonderful foundation, but how do you build on that and create the emotional connection that will sustain you both? Phil and I will share what we’ve discovered in creating a solid relationship – one conversation, one step, one situation at a time.

• I forgive myself for believing relationships have to be challenging.
• I give myself permission to create more rewarding relationships in my life.
• I choose to dissolve the challenges with commitment to understanding, curiosity for what is really happening, and compassion – for myself and the others in my life!
• I am free to create amazing relationships – beginning with the relationship I have with myself!
• I know what it feels like to connect easily with myself – it happened when I…
• I am creating better relationships with those I care about, including me!

Remembering everyone is always doing the best they can in every situation goes a long way – and providing what you are looking for in another to yourself will keep you solid. You can, and will re-pattern the “way you’ve always been” in relationship – in fact it is the very BEST place to do it!

Namaste,

Suze

“If you can’t fly, you can run, if you can’t run you can walk
If you can’t walk, you can crawl, that’s the beauty of it all
If you can’t crawl, you can roll, keep your eyes upon your goal
You have your place in the flock, if you can’t roll then you can rock”

 The chorus from one of David Roth’s  www.davidrothmusic.com

Songs “If you Can’t Fly”

I sang this song over, and over and over again when I was making the decision in 1999 to leave my secure teaching position and begin to do my Belief Re-patterning work full time.

Everyone of us has a song we sing to ourselves, and you might as well train your subconscious mind to sing something that is supportive! Even now, as I move into another larger way of BE-ing in the world, with new discoveries to make, challenges to navigate, and accomplishments to claim!

• I forgive myself for believing I can’t do what my heart desires.

• I give myself permission to step into my dream, and keep my eyes on my goal.

• I choose to take a step in the direction of my dreams. “If I can’t fly, I’ll run. If I can’t run, I’ll walk. If I can’t walk, I’ll crawl.” I choose to move forward.

• I am free to move toward my goal by… (1 specific thing, 10 minutes or less that you can absolutely do today.)

• I know what it feels like to take a step in the direction of my dreams. I did it when I … (1 specific example of when you’ve done this in the past)

• I am moving in the direction of my dreams – however I can move today: Fly, Run, Walk, Crawl, Roll. I rock!

With gratitude for the power of music in my life, and for songwriters, like David, who put into words and music the human condition in a way that supports, enlightens and empowers.

May the force be with you as you take one step everyday!

Namaste,

Suze

I remember feeling very alone and disconnected.

I remember wondering if I was adopted ‘cause I just didn’t “fit” my family.

I remember worrying if I was weird because I was told repeatedly “Nobody thinks like that.”

I remember thinking I was crazy and everyone was just being nice to me.

That’s where I was as a child, adolescent and young woman.

And I am so grateful I connected, found my place, honoured my uniqueness and valued my contribution. All of those feelings lead me to where I am today, and allowed me to create what I have created and contribute how I can to my community.

Each and everyone of us has a place. There is a song I love written by American Folksinger Bill Staines “All God’s Creature’s Have a Place in the Choir”. Here is a wonderful 2 minute break for you – it’s worth a look and a listen two of my old folkie pals (now on the “other side”, but still bringing joy to the world with their music) Tommy Makem and Liam Clancey:

Whatever your religious beliefs, the sentiment ALL God’s creatures have a place in the choir holds true. The music we make in community needs EVERYONE’S voice.

Yours included.

Please step up and step in.

Your community needs your contribution.

Only you can add your unique piece.
