Bio

I'm a 39y/o Writer, Poet, and Life Coach specializing in Transformation of our ways of being. Check out my website at www.strategiesfortoday.com and my "Transformational Thinking" blog at http://strategiesfortoday.blogspot.com.

This blog contains inspirational thoughts, insights, and strategies for living your best life possible. We all have within us the ability to be great. But, our greatness is only manifested through our actions. I believe that we are all created perfect and complete exactly as we are. However, we experience blockages to our perfection - and these blockages can be transformed by subtle shifts in our thinking, thus transforming our ways of being.

I'm working on completing a first volume of poetry and my first book about taking back control of your life by transforming your thinking. Changing oneself doesn't work. Change is "to make different in some aspect." Or, in other words, "to alter an existing thing." Transformation is "giving up one form for another (such as giving up being an orange for being an apple)." Or, in other words, "to become something entirely different."

In order for the caterpillar to become a butterfly, it must first give up its form. It cannot be attached to looking as it currently does and still transform.

Transformation can only occur when we give up being what we believe ourselves to be. If we want to transform ourselves into loving human beings, we can do that…..but only after giving up "knowing" ourselves in our predispositioned way of being - as beings of judgment. If we give up being judgmental, we can become understanding, and by that avenue we can become loving individuals.
