“You don’t hate, your demons do!”

“You don’t hate, your demons do!”
Charlie Monroe

Who are you? What are you filled with today?
Light or death?
You decide to cut your demons off by not feeding them with the very thing they need… your slow painful death in the form of defeat, loneliness, woundedness, rejection, sadness, anger, depression, sickness, offense, judgement, shame, fear, guilt, unforgiveness, bitterness, jealousy, resentment, disappointment, broken heartedness, revenge, abandonment, hurt, worthlessness, unloved, until there is nothing left of you, and you operate just like the one trying to kill your heart and soul their goal is hopelessness. So wake up and take it all back! They have no right to any of you!
Being without hope makes you the walking dead! It’s the demon apocalypse. STAND UP to them. Expose their lies, and that is the truth that has the power to set you free.
I love you Sweets! I just hate your demons to the moon and stars and back.no hope

Calling all of Humanity…..don’t you think it’s time for a Global Time Out?

stacey - backI have tried for as long as I can remember to be kind and loving to almost every person I have encountered in my life.  It was a decision I made because I just want to be better.  Whether it is just locking eyes and smiling or simply saying hello.  I try to be a light in the place, because in life we are all here trying to live which sometimes is really hard.  Overwhelming to some, so much so it pushes some of us to do things and say to things to each other that are not right.

Calling all of humanity……..

Can we just call a giant time out!  Worldwide, every single one of us!  We are all so different in so many ways, or experiences have defined us and made us who we are today.  Some of us have experienced so much sadness and loss that your reality would be unimaginable to most of us.  On the other side we have one thing in common.  Each of us has only one live to live……  that is it!  One life we are given here.  We are born innocent with one common need and desire to be nurtured and loved.

What happened to us??

Remember life before all the wounds and scars?  All the words that pierced through your heart?  All the sadness that sits on your chest as if you will suffocate and die from all the loss?  Do you remember yourself before all the hurt, that turned to bitterness and anger to rage to unforgiveness to revenge and back around again….. and again.

Humanity do you remember that child, that small hopeful soul who had hopes and dreams for a future?  Who wished no harm on anyone until harm was introduced to them?

We all start out innocent… when did it become to have little or no concern for human life?  Each life is for a reason.  Each of us is made to do something extraordinary and what if we just as humanity agreed for a timeout and in that timeout we pulled a 180 and all just agreed to use all our powers for good and not evil.  We agree to support, nurture, and root for each other to help others overcome the hurts and the wounds.  There is a whole army of little souls out there we can change history for.  We can teach them we would all be better off caring and being kind to one another rather than hurting and killing each other.  We are not always going to agree on stuff, but if we could get it together and agree on one thing!

One Life!  How about we put away our bombs, guns, swords, but most of all our words.  Our words are the most powerful things we have and each of us can change the world, but most of us have no idea because we have chosen to believe the voice inside who is there to remind us of who we are not.

Change your words and you can change the world.  The next person may not do this but you are not them, you are you, and you can change you!  Be an inspiration to the people you meet and the people in your life and you just do that over and over again.  Come on!!  Your words have power use them always for good and not evil!  Let’s make that the new normal and we can turn this around.  Let’s stop hurting each other and see what happens when we care for one another.

I have just one life here and I want it to be amazing.  I want yours to be amazing too!  We can do this people!!

Your words are your superpower how will you use them to now to build someone up, or tear them down.

Please except this mission because you will be brilliant at it!

Love you all, Mama Stacey

Four Little Words that stop me in my tracks!

Posted on by Stacey

I have four little words that can stop me in my tracks at times!

‘What would people think?’ has made me pause, second guess and stop an embarrassing number of times.

I decided to ignore those four words on my visit home to take care of my mom.

I went to the pharmacy to get wound care supplies. I looked like a million bucks because I dress up to fly, and had just arrived from the airport. While in line to ask a question, I noticed in the security monitor that the ladies behind me were making fun of how I was dressed and had done my hair.

While I was in the middle of a good pity party, God told me to pay attention to the woman who was already at the counter for a moment.

God told me to step in and take action on her behalf. In this case, I was supposed to pay for some medicine after her card was declined. The Pharmacist finally agreed to take my card and allow me to pay for her medicine, but startled me when he told the lady what I had done. I don’t like the attention, and wasn’t ready for the lady to grab me. I didn’t know what to tell her about why I did it, but God told me to tell her that He was her provider. (This was remarkable because He’s never asked me to share that message before with anyone. ) Of course, it turns out that was exactly what she needed to hear, and had been praying about since her husband’s accident would mean not only expensive medication, but no paycheck for the foreseeable future.

It was exactly what she needed, and exactly what she needed to hear.
She was excited about getting home to tell her husband all that had happened, and their message from God.

She left, and I noticed that the ladies that were in line behind me had seen and heard what had happened, and their disposition about me had completely changed.

The Pharmacist then proceeded to make the ladies in line, who had been mean at first, wait while he escorted me around the entire store to make sure that I had everything that was needed. At the moment of purchase, he pulled out his personal card to pay for everything, and said, ‘please allow me to do this for you and for your mom because I’ve never seen anything like that. That was the kindest thing I’ve ever seen anyone do.’

Even after being delayed in line, those ladies still had smiles.
What an amazing, high impact event in a bunch of lives. That woman and her husband, the ladies behind me, the pharmacist. And me more than anyone perhaps, even though I was just a messenger.
I don’t always say yes when He asks.

When I’ve declined, it’s usually because of those four little words, ‘What would people think?’. In this situation, in which I was already embarrassed by what these ladies thought of me because of my dress and hairdo, I went forward anyway. And it changed me forever.

And just maybe, some women in Winter Park Florida learned not to judge a book by it’s MomHawk haircut, and to stop being ‘mean girls’ at 45 years old.

I have enough friends is what my demons told me…

Posted on by Stacey
So I have huge trust issues. It would seem that my demons play well with other peoples demons sometimes, and that friendsgets messy and complicated.  Who has the time to invite new people in our life… the vetting process is exhausting. I can’t afford the distraction, as I am just trying to keep myself and family above water.  So I close myself off even more as my demons say…. good call you don’t want to chance it, that will most likely result in  disappointment and heart break again. 
I believed them, they caught me at a vulnerable moment when I was hurting and feeling betrayed by people I trusted the most. I reacted in a panic to cut out almost everyone one from my life and my circle became smaller and smaller.   It was easier to run away from even the slightest suggestion of the potential of pain, disappointment and rejection.
My demons filled my head with every word I just typed. My freaking flying ghost monkeys haunted my head with each and everyone of those thoughts. They covered all bases to isolate me as they added…. they are all better off without you, because you will just cause this,this, and this so now, I am also doing everyone a favor.  So I react in fear and push people away to run and hide. When I got lonely and missed those now missing from my life, my demons graciously reminded me of old hurts, wounds and pain that you can almost feel all over again just by thinking about them… so you don’t and find yourself in protect and survive mode. My own thoughts would introduce fear and beat me down until I was in agreement….yeah that is a terrible idea….and you would just screw it up, so better not to even try…lonely isn’t that bad. Bam! onto the next shiny thing to steal from me.
 
You see the thing about all that is that it is total bull shit!
I don’t have trust issues, that is so over dramatized, my demons lie. I would say I am cautious. I want to give everyone a chance, just like I want them so desperately to give me one.  
See something was exposed… I thought… what does a people person do when you are tricked into believing you are scared of people. You pull a 180 on the lies and do something differently.  I made it a mission to make up for everything stolen from me and I set out to meet as many new people I could and that is when I started to see my truth, not filtered through a bunch of lies of fear whispered in my head. It changed me for the better and I can’t imagine never having the people that are new and in my life that because I was willing to take a risk  they each play a role in loving me back to truth.  I encourage you if you believe you are good and have enough friends you maybe being lied to.  The greatest things about this life is the people I get to share it with.
So just an example of a lie I believed that maybe you can relate to…. I believed I had enough friends and I needed my inner cirlcle close and closed.   I am overwhelmed at the people I get to call my friends not distractions.  I can’t even imagine all the laughs, memories and all the great stories I would never had experienced. This changed me a ton when I exposed these lies. Go make a new friend, if that is too scary then go out and be friendly… talk to people. I talk to everybody… my kids tell me.
People are so lonely out there and you never know what might happen.  Maybe you are one of those that already know all this and rock it…then I encourage you to think about the other areas of your life these little bastards steal from you as they whisper in your head.
Another one of the biggest lies I believed was that I was never meant to be anyone’s mother and I believed I was like a nanny and maid who hated her job….Lies, lies, lies,  every word, Oh my freaking God… that is another story. I have tons of stories of how I caught my thoughts and my belief system kinda screwing me over. 
Thanks for your time, the most precious thing you have.
Later Sweets

My Demons call me names!

Posted on by Stacey

My demons they call names like fat, lazy, stupid, worthless, dirty and what is wrong with you? Each of those words came in the voice of someone in my life I knew, love and trusted. It is hard to hear the question over and over by someone you love… What is wrong with you…  So my demons use that against me…Well remember when such and such said you were…blah blah blah my demons love to remind me of the pain that fuels them.  The truth is those voices that came out of those people were just the ghosts that haunted their head and if they could take it back they would. Sometimes we forget the power our demons words have disguised in our on voice!

The words we USE have power.

Posted on by Stacey

A while ago, my daughter taught me a great lesson here. She had a word that actually caused her a lot of distress when she heard it used, and instilled fear in her.  After talking it through, my kids decided to take away the power of the word by replacing it with a word that didn’t have the same ‘baggage’.  That day, ‘Demon’ was replaced by the word ‘Potato’.  This took away the power the thing was deriving from it’s name and all that name implied.  By changing the name we used to refer to a thing, we changed how powerful that thing was.  Who is afraid of a potato?  Today, we can talk about Demons, because they have lost their ‘power’.  In fact, she laughs at that word.
