As we, as a "world", continue to heal our way through Covid-19, it is becoming more obvious that major changes have occurred in our lives and the lives of so many others.  I continue to hear individuals state that they no longer feel that they belong in their current occupation, relationship or "situation", but are not sure which move to make.  The effects of Covid and many other large disasters (the collapse of a building that killed over 100 people as they slept)  have shaken many to the core. I believe that it is safe to say that we are in the "beginning of the end of the world as we have known it”!  
What does this mean?  We are living in unsure times on many levels.  I offer an energized belief that we all have the power to make changes in ourselves that will contribute to positive changes in the world!  We can educate ourselves when there is a knowledge gap!  We can intently listen, ask questions to enhance understanding, reserve judgement and  speak consciously rather than reactively! We can choose Love over Fear by reaching across any isle that poses discomfort.  Thus, “beginning an end” to unjust pain and suffering by helping to build an energy of:


Healing via Gift Giving


I truly believe that my ultimate purpose in being created is to assist others in transforming from the inside out to enhance the realization that we all have a purpose!  I have come to feel a spiritual connection and grounded responsibility in living this purpose.  As I offer myself as a vessel, the "gifts" and "Gems" that I need and want flow to me with and without asking.  I feel that I am more connected to “simplicity” and that my desire for "things" has given way to a stronger desire for moments of connection, intimacy and meaningful conversation.  
 Connecting with others and helping people to remember their soul and divine purpose is what drives me.  Being “in the flow” is a wonderful side effect of the passion that inspires me to help others.
As we all remember that this life journey is about having a “soul” purpose, we can shed the obsession of the self.  Now is the time for a mass awakening to understand that this journey is not just about each of us as individuals, but about the collective!  We ultimately exist to remember why we were born, realize the “gift(s)” that we have to share and then take one step at a time to begin giving these spiritual gifts to others.
Can you imagine the "light" that can be generated if we first and foremost understood our gift(s) and then begin to freely give these Gems to others in need?
As I recently shared in another blog, we are all a "Gem of God" and once we "remember" this fact, and share our Gem, we will heal this world!
Here is an excerpt and the link to the "Gem of God" blog:
Have you ever been in a situation in which you felt that you could share something that would simply enhance the conversation and bring some "light" to someone in need, but you leaned on self-doubt, instead of self-worth, and decided not to share your thoughts?  There was a point in my life during which I held my thoughts often because I felt like an "imposter", like I was not worthy of sharing such light.  That was before years of self growth and peeling the proverbial "onion skin" of a tough childhood.  I had to learn that I was created as a Gem of God https://static-promote.weebly.com/share/b3c4a08f-9bd3-433d-8486-0b3279b79767
What Gems or Gifts have you kept tucked away that could be "let out of the box" for the good of all?
If you are unsure, ask others what gifts they see in you. Write down your positive traits and review them daily.  If you need more assistance, I am simply a phone call or email away!


Namaste (The Light in Me, Sees the Light in You)


Dr Lorri​

While sitting around the camp fire a few weekends ago, Melissa’s grandmother (Eileen Roesler McCue) and grandfather (Melvin McCue) told us that Eileen’s grandmother (Eleanor Roesler aka Lori) would say to them, “You Never Don’t Know”.  After we all chuckled about the double negative flare of this statement, a bright light bulb lit in my mind.  I thought and then said, “That is a brilliant statement!  I would love to write a blog about it":


“You Never Don’t Know”
We so often say to ourselves or others, “I don’t know” before thinking further or as an escape from thoughts that we do not currently want to ponder or to remove ourselves from an uncomfortable conversation.  I believe that we do “know”, in the combination of the body, heart and mind, most things.  Sure, there are unknowns along our journeys and things that we have not learned yet, but our intuition or gut “knows” so much more than we allow ourselves to believe.
How many times have you second guessed yourself about something or someone?  Have you found that your first instincts were often correct?
We are currently living in a time of what appears to have numerous unknowns:  
What are the most effective ways to stop the spread of the virus?  Which candidate deserves my vote?  Is it time to change jobs or careers?  Should I stay in a certain relationship or leave?  Is this the best house or town for me to live in or is it time for a change?
This list of questions could go on for pages and I am sure that as you are reading, your own questions are popping into your consciousness.


So…. let’s revert to Eleanor’s (aka Lori’s) statement.  She told her loved ones, “You Never Don’t Know”.  I never met Eleanor, so I am not sure if she was simply including a “Don’t” in this so often used statement, or if she was trying to instill some wisdom upon her grandchildren.  Either way, I am very thankful for stories around the camp fire!


This is the wisdom that I gleaned from this profound statement:


In matters where intuition (body & heart) and knowledge (mind) meet:
We always “Know”, but we do not always Trust ourselves!
So how do we get in touch with the answer(s) and learn to trust?
We need to stop, drop and roll and not react!
Breathe deeply, ask the question and let the body reveal the truth (the “Know”).  


Let’s take these two questions on the same topic:  
“Do I stay in this relationship”?  
Sit with the question.
How does it feel?  Is there certainty, joy, relief, relaxation or a knowing?  
Then, ask again this way:
“Do I leave this relationship”?  
Is there certainty, joy, relief, relaxation or a knowing?
Which one makes you breathe a bit more easily?
Which one brings you peace?


You can pick any topic.  Just simply ask the question in two ways:
Do I stay or do I leave this job?
Do I vote for this candidate or a different one?
Do I wear a mask or not?
Do I communicate what I am feeling now or wait for another time?
Do I continue to live here or do I move?


The mind is a very sharp tool and can twist or turn any thought.  It needs the connection of the body and heart to bring “knowing”!
The body and heart will always give the answer in the form of relaxation, gratitude, peace, love and warmth.  The stomach will calm and breathing will become much easier.  The mind will ease!


Listen to Eleanor, aka Lori, the next time you react and state, “I Don’t Know”.
She will whisper, “You Never Don’t Know”!


Let’s practice this together!

From one Lorri to another “Lori”, thank-you for your wisdom and may you continue to Rest In Peace!
Thank-you, Eileen Roesler McCue (aka Gram), for allowing me to write this blog !!
