Ode to My Exes

I feel incredibly blessed to have spent my daughter's high school graduation with all the most important men in my life, including my son, father, both of my ex-husbands, and an ex-boyfriend.

Everyone was extremely generous in allowing each other to just be who they are, without ramifications or judgments, all putting aside their own issues for the sake of this beautiful young woman. I sat there counting my blessings and took great joy in recognizing the differences in each person. One has a huge heart; three are very intelligent; another has unconditional love for all of us. We laughed and laughed. We worked well together in preparing meals and cleaning up afterwards.

Oh did I mention, they all stayed at my house?

Of course, there was some competition, especially during game time and bowling. We recognized which parent our children got their issues from, like my daughter's unhappiness when she does not win comes from her father's side, and her outspokenness comes from my side. My son definitely has his father's sense of humor. I have my father's passion for food.

These are some things that are rarely discussed with the child's other parent when there is a divorce. Who gets to have "family" photos taken after divorces? Who gets to spend 2 or 3 days with their ex-spouses years after a divorce?

These joys come to people who truly forgive. Yes, these are the blessings of forgiveness.

I write about this because it breaks my heart to see so many people holding onto anger and resentment about a spouse. My book, Transcending Divorce, has a whole chapter on how to forgive your ex, and I have a 40 minute mp3 with a forgiveness exercise on it. Ultimately, you will learn, there is nothing really to forgive, that we were all playing our little roles, and that there is no right or wrong, it is merely the illusion of our thinking leads us to believe in this right/wrong dichotomy.

My recommendation? Give your children the gift of both parents who love them. They don't benefit by your anger or resentment towards their parent. Allow them to experience special days, graduations, birthdays, marriages, births, with both parents who love them. Be the loving, accepting, non-judgmental parent. That is what this Step Up newsletter is all about... take that leap of faith. And if you need help with that, let me know how I can be of service to you.

Blessings to you... Lori

Essential Oil of the Month

Brain Power

Getting forgetful? Having trouble concentrating?

Brain Power clears "brain fog" by dissolving the petrochemicals that congest neurological receptor sites. It promotes deep concentration and channels physical energy into mental energy. It also increases mental potential and clarity, and long-term use may retard the aging process.

Many of the oils in this blend are high in sesquiterpenes, which increase activity in the pineal, pituitary, and hypothalamus glands, increasing output of growth hormone and melatonin.

Oils included in this blend are:

  • Frankincense - stimulates the limbic part of the brain which elevates the mind, helping to overcome stress, dispair, and depression.
  • Sandalwood - high in sesquiterpenes which stimulate the pineal gland and the limbic region of the brain.
  • Melissa - removes emotional blocks and instills a positive outlook on life.
  • Cedarwood - high in sesquiterpenes and improves the thought process, cognition, and memory.
  • Blue Cypress - improves circulation and increases the flow of oxygen to the brain.
  • Lavendar - improves concentration and mental acuity.
  • Helichrysum - stimulates optimum nerve function. Enhances awareness and cognition, allowing one to gain focus and concentration.

Suggestions of how to use it:

  • Diffuse it in your home or office.
  • Put 2-3 drops to your bath water.
  • Apply it to back of neck, throat, temples, and under nose.
  • Apply 1-2 drops with a finger on the insides of cheeks in the mouth
  • Put 4-8 drops on a cotton ball and locate on heating vents.

Remember, Young Living Essential Oils are 100% pure, therapeutic grade, organic essential oils. They have nothing added to them that dilutes their potency or their purity. They cost a bit more and they're worth it. They're not only more effective, they last longer because you don't need to use but a drop or two.

  • the coaching wheel - a tool for identifying your levels of satisfaction in different areas of your life the houses of
  • astrology - an ancient "map" of the twelve most important parts of your life
  • archetypes - the different roles or personas you adopt according to differing situations and the people involved

These components by themselves are extremely effective. Combined, they're amazingly powerful in getting the information needed about any issue, situation, or relationship so you can move through fear and begin making forward progress.
