I've Never Felt So Ugly!

One of my niece's really had me going as her and her sisters broadcasted via Facebook how sexy she was looking in her Halloween costume and how she was going to drive all the men at work wild, etc.  Only later to find via picture and comment she'd dressed up like Ugly Betty proclaiming, "I've never felt so ugly!"

Now maybe she really didn't feel ugly and it was simply a play on words since she'd dressed up as Ugly Betty.  Yet, my mind went to a place where it thought about how technically in the eyes of divine love we are beautiful unconditionally.  You know?  Without condition.  This means always and forever no matter how we may convince ourself we look ugly, Divine Love says truth is, "it just ain't so!"

So in a way it is as if ugly doesn't exist in divine mind since divine mind doesn't judge degrees of beauty or beautiful/ugly.  All is simply, equally, non-judged beautiful.

With this in mind I thought about how in a way it is almost as if the costume she donned had magical powers by affording it the ability to somehow change her from her beautiful self into something that is ugly.

It made me think do I really want to give something outside of myself that much power.  I know I have in the past.  I probably will again in the future.  What I hope is that if I find myself doing so in the future that I won't give into the power for long before I remember this Ugly Betty moment.

I believe it was Madonna during her Vogue period who sang, "Beauty is where you find it."  Well, this is me during the Ugly Betty period proclaiming in every Ugly Betty is the heart, mind and truth that she's really Beautiful Betty if she has the vision to see this is her truth.

Now that's divine!

Day 69, Tiara Tuesday, October 27, 2009

I must, must, must mention how great of a day for me (one of the best of my life so far) last Saturday, October 24th was.  I must give my Aunt Loretta most of the credit.  That foxy redhead.  Words can't even express.  The feelings are anchored in my heart.  And I must thank myself, her, everyone who was involved and all the love energy that came together (including my own...people we must remember if we aren't able to let love in and feel love and share love because we are keeping our hearts closed...things like this can't by Universal Law happen for us) I'm sure because I purposely have put it out to the Universe by participating in the 100-day open-heart challenge.

Okay, I'll say this.  My Aunt still may have had the party for me she did.  Everyone may still have shown up like they did.  However, since I technically only have control over me...I believe I would not have allowed myself to enjoy it as much as I did had I not been preparing myself to give and receive love more easily with this challenge.

Okay, thanks for reading this.  Now I feel like I have a couple of gifts that I desire to share with you that may help anyone who reads this with keeping their heart more open and able to give and receive love at a grander level than ever before.

First:

I love these two Brad Yates videos.  Before seeing them, I had a time a bit ago where I realized that I was doing exactly what he mentions: withholding love from my body and myself because I wasn't yet what I felt I want to be.



While the above video is about having the sort of can't love my body until, the one below that Brad Yates did is about understanding regardless of what commercials or collective consciousness, etc., would like us to believe we have to believe is how we should determine our self-worth...our value is already guaranteed because we are divine and eternal.  Thank you so much Brad.



I also have an amazing friend, Emmanuel Dagher, who is an amazing heart full of love and has lots of things he has put out into the universe to help us remember how loved we are.  The below is what he calls his minute of transformation.  Here is the link to one of them.

Then there is Rebecca Marina.  The audio from the Lakshmi transmission she mentions in the following video is the one that rocked my world.



Be like a newborn baby and recieve and grow stronger.

If I could give you any suggestion about the Lakshmi audio, it would be to find a way to download it to something that allows you to listen to it while being in as relaxed a position as possible.

Wow!  And as I am writing all of this it almost makes me feel like I wish it was Thankful Thursday since I am realizing how many ways I am gifted love via all of these gifts I am sharing here.  I think one of the greatest gifts I am receiving from my 100 day challenge is how I am expanding my definition of what love is or what a gift is or how loved and blessed I am.  That I feel I had a huge belief that the one and only barameter of whether or not I am valuable or loved or worthy or anything like that is how much money I have.  While I would love more money, I can see that if that is all I focused on I would think I don't have a very great life.  And that would so not be true.  I am so grateful.

I know the last thing I want to share is tut.com is pretty well known in the spiritual circles.  Still, this particular letter from the Universe really inspires me.  So that is why I am sharing.  Enjoy!

I do believe, Lori, that if people would just start by saying "it's fun," when it seems hard; "I'm happy," when they seem sad; and "I know," when it seems as if they don't, they'd finally discover that it really is, they really are, and they always have.
Works for me,
    The Universe

Day 61, Monday, October 19, 2009

So 25 years ago in a hospital in Fargo, North Dakota at approximately 6 AM, yours truly was admitted so I could birth my second son, Chris.  I didn't know he was going to be a boy.  My obstetrician said it was going to be a girl from the way I was carrying it.  My ex-hubby and I only had girl names picked out.  And so my wonderful son was born with no name except "Baby Boy Bjork".

I could have never guessed what our lives would be like 25 years later.  He is happy and healthy and in a way what more could I ask for. 

You may hear it a lot, but children tend to open your heart to a form of unconditional love that you never thought you would experience or could experience.  Both of my sons certainly were and are that for me. 

I will always be so appreciative to both of them for that.  What seems to be my challenge is loving me in that same sort of unconditional way I love them.  I celebrate any of their joys or creations as if they are the greatest thing since slice bread.  I always think they are cool and have great insights about life.  I always think they are beautiful and awesome and lovable.  Now if I can just do that for me.  And with this challenge I've been on since August 20th, I am.

And I have given myself a new 100 day challenge I started two days ago, October 16th.  It is to use the info from Dr. Chopra's book to transform and love my physical body more and incorporate it more into my flowing and glowing well-being life.

So, Happy Birthday to my son.  I love him very much.  And whoo hoo to me.
