Bringing Light into Everyday Circumstances

[Kristin]

Hello Everyone,
It has been a long time since I posted "From the Heart" but here goes...

The last few days have been extremely trying. Beyond the everyday funk that ensues there have been circumstances that have drawn me into a family that I care about. I'm talking about addiction. Recently I brought a friend into a rehab to sign in and start anew.

Things took a turn and he ended up in the emergency unit. We discovered that he was not only dealing with liver damage, but also other health complications that were causing his body to shut down. He was dying. But today there is hope. He may just make it through.

Taking the step with him while being in the middle of post production and being very busy was a step for me that I honestly did not consider until I was in the middle of it. Suddenly my appointments had to take the wayside for the greater good. Should I tell my clients what was happening? Should I explain this? Man, I have a dead line!!!

I was second guessing everything... then a calm hit me. Just do what is right. So I did exactly that... and everything smoothed out. As soon as I headed the helm with authority there was not an issue. I did not need to explain, I just needed to state what was. "I'm busy. End of story."

It's amazing really, how the thoughts of things that seem to exhaust you can be all self induced. I'm feeling good.

My friend is doing great, and there is hope. Even if he passes he knows that he will do so with dignity and as a sober man. I'm proud of him. Beyond that the other health issues coming into light now give him a chance at having a normal life. All the dark is out in the open. That's just bringing light into everyday circumstances.

Sometimes I need to worry less and just DO!!! That's my lesson. There where about ten other issues that I needed to deal with, and I accomplished them all without creating the space for negativity to rear it's ugly head. Whew!!!


Lots of LOVE out to all and thanks if you read this. We need to make a difference if even one person at a time.

From the Heart,
Kristin

If he or she has decided to stop, tell them to work on what makes them pick up. By dealing with it sober, they find it wasn't all the boogeyman in life they thought. Sometimes it's grief of a loved one, they were told to be tough for everyone else about. sometimes it's a abuse of a parent or bullying or childhood trauma or a host of other nasty thing that happen in life. Explain those things are there for a lesson and experience, it's how you deal with it that will determine you mobility to evolve after the experience is over and the memory of the emotion remembered for protection in the future, or just to have the experience because it was one you lacked.

Tell them everyone will experience the pain, it's what the do when they do, that determines their destiny for a future. They cna sit on the pity pot and hide from it, blaming others for not having the strength to deal with it, or they can feel it, remember the hurt or joy, learn from it, and move on to the next lesson.

Thanks for the kind words Lifebringer, however he is a 62 year old alcoholic. Everything else at this point would be an emotional excuse to drink. It's really that simple. Life will always be a challenge in one way shape or form. Personally I do not take responsibility for his choices. However I do take responsibility when it comes to if I can make a difference or not try to. That is what I mean.

From the Heart,
