Each Purpose

  Every being, every thing on Earth has a deep purpose and a guiding force for its existence

  You, too, have a deep purpose and a guiding force for  becoming all you are capable of being.  You may sense this as that inner strength that directs you actions.  Or that inner voice, the intuitive voice, that calls to you when your're at a crossroads in your life.
  It is the deepest most holiest part of your being. "This is the path you should take" Jean Houston
 
 I have added a few words from Jean because I think everyone needs to know why they are here and that each life is important.  Each moment is a gift we can accept as wonderful moment or reject.
  No one can tell another what their purpose is or what life is for--we all must find our own way.  Lilly

Hellen Keller on Communication

  I was priviledged to hear Jean Houston on a talk she was doing.  She had the experience of visiting Hellen Keller.  She was a little girl in New York.  The children visiting Hellen were ask if they had any questions. ( I remember watching Patty Duke and Anne Bankroff depict her life and how Hellen was born without hearing or eyesite.  Anne continued to work with her to learn signing for communication.)
  Jean spoke of her experience hearing a women who had never heared a human voice before use the vibration of words to learn to speak. She was the one chosen to speak to Hellen.  Hellen used her fingers to interpet the words while her other hand read her expression and face. She was ask what her life was like?  She answered, "I live each day as if it were my last.  Loving and relationships are reflections of my dreams.  My showers are a constant cleansing.  I pray let me be a blessing for the day, and for the community.  I pray for others in need.  Life and all its moments is so full of Glory and I live that Glory.
  I hope you all had a glory filled day like I did. Lilly

Communicate and Heal

   I have noticed that there are many of us that would rather be quiet and leave things alone rather than create a conflict.
   I observed as a young bride, my new mother-in-law would internilize unwelcome and hurtful comments from my father-in-law.  She was very sick with ruhmitory arthritise and as I watched her I realize she wore each hurtful comment like a piece of clothing.  Each one twisting her body with another painful tight finger or bone.
 

Past Communication Wisdom

   I have been working on our family history, with my sister, for about 10 years now.  This week was our outing to allow her granddaughter to help us print a story about our mother.
  We felt that Mom was the silent partener in the 60 year marriage to our father and it was about time she got some credit for the roll she played in giving us a very good childhood. 
   Our search and gather has been 10 years and much information.  Starting with  our great-great grandfather. We decided to do JUST MOM.  As I went through the information.  I called my sister and shared more information about my childhood.  It was interesting because she didn't remember that I had panic attacks as a child or I wasn't allowed to go to kindergarten. ( Too Many Children) Or even that I had been kept separate of the other babies because, I was  born with a rash that plaged me until Junior High School. 
   I realize that my early years had set me on a spirital path of very different understanding that makes this world go round.  I realize coming in I was carrying my mother's fears to work out at a time that women were subservant and she was caught in a cycle that was beyond her.   I too was born subservant but I was her great white hope to release the women of our family.
   I now realize how my words are so important and could never be a quick witted person in a quick situation.  So many times I wished I could but as I muled what had really happened.  I realized that it all came from fear.  Even tho the quick come back was funny and witty and the person's involved did not know what had hit them until later.  The quiet response was my real blessing to truly understand the situation completely.  The result was that No one deserves to be under cut and layed out flat with words, but it takes practice to know what the true response should be to get the positive result.  What is good for one is good for both.  Lilly

Communication for the non-able

  Communication is an important part of the learning process.  Many of us have not been able to use the words to get our needs met.  This year 2012 it is my goal to communicate with the people in my life in a hope we can have all our needs met in a mutual satisfying way. 
  The key to this phrase is mutually satisfying by understanding what the needs truly are.  Many times what the words are saying is not what the need truly is.
  Through the sharing in this blog it is my desire to help as many non-communicators  find the true words to have not only their needs met but also leaves the provider with a true sence of satisfaction. Too often the frustration of both get in the way. Lilly

   Hello everyone; My name is Lilly and have been working with health for the past 20 years.  The first 10 years has been in Holestic Health and the last 10 years has been with Medical health.
   It has been my honor to be with a lady that has no children and is 94 years old.  Emma has been a wonderful part of the community and has never been a person who would force her wishes onto others.  Recently I have noticed as her hearing is leaving she has become more frustrated.  It is something that she is dealing with in a way I have never expected from her.  As I watch her, I realize her frustration is coming from the lack of communication.  It occurred to me that communication is something people can learn
