Welcome back!

Percy, My Assistant

Percy likes to sit on my arm when I’m typing.  I’m not sure how he sees that as helpful or efficient, but he loves doing it.  He also sits in my Inbox.  I’m sure my paperwork loves being kept warm.

Do you have an assistant?  Does your assistant help you to heal your sense of “I’ve got something wrong with me?”  You see, Percy doesn’t know I’m fat, so every time I see him, I get to remember this about him and it helps me to remember it about myself.  I do believe that the normally-sized me is in there and wants to come out.  I keep that from happening because I indulge my old habit of thinking that I am fat.  This kind of thinking is what continues to create fat, and the concepts of my handsome-dude Assistant, Percy, never get to see the light of day.

Each of us has something about ourselves we think is “wrong” in one way or another and we think that we will be judged as less-than by those who observe us just as soon as they discover this one embarrassing flaw.  Some people have “hidden” flaws that aren’t immediately obvious, such as being overweight is.

I think that each of us has this “one thing wrong” idea going and honestly folks, your “one thing wrong” truly can become your biggest blessing. Being overweight became the strongest catalyst in my life to overcome this curse.  Instead, what I got was enlightenment, understanding and a keen insight into Life.  One hell of a payback, if you ask me.

Cherish your “one thing wrong.” It is a blessing if you’d embrace it that way.

If you’d like to get a leg up on the process, I’d highly recommend reading my book, “My Cats Have Seen Me Naked,” and yes, that’d be Percy the magnificent who saw me stepping out of the shower and never deflected his eyes because he loves the I inside the big me.

Warmest wishes,

Pat

On Top of The World

This is my four-month-old grandson, Hieronymous.  His dad is a Photoshopper and has made his son King of the World.  I thought it would be a great picture to accompany today’s topic: how does the lack of self-acceptance show up. Right now, Hiero is completely accepting of everything and I think getting to that stage is where we’re headed.

Now this is a topic that will definitely require your comments and feedback because all I can share with you is what I’ve experienced myself and what I’ve read about.  I absolutely have to have your feedback as to how the lack of self-acceptance shows up in your life to help flesh out the subject.  So please, do leave a comment, won’t you?

Here is a partial list of how I’ve seen this lack show up.

• Staying in a job too long for too little
• Dating men I know aren’t good enough
• Getting sucked into doing things that I don’t want to do
• Not being able to just say “No.”
• Maintaining mistaken senses of self, poverty, inability, size
• Anger over the manipulations of corporate management
• Emotional freeze about interviewing for a job
• Lack of taking any action steps
• Thinking that one deserves the ills that befall him or her
• Making-do with lower quality goods and services
• Refusal to do what it takes to maintain a healthy or beautiful appearance
• Habitual complaining and pointing out the faults of others

I need your points to add to this list.  Please, please, please leave your comment.  It will become part of our new teleclasses and everyone will pitch in to help you get past your shtick. We need you!!!

I hope this has provoked some deep thinking on your part.  That’s what has to happen so that you can heal spiritually.  Recognize, vow to change, change.  Good luck!

Love,

Pat

Many women struggle continuously because of the nitpicking they do to themselves about the appearance of their bodies.  Many of the women who do this have absolutely gorgeous bodies.  I find myself feeling so sad when they tug at their clothing or they say uncomplimentary things about themselves.

It reminds me so much of me, 40 years ago.  In those early days, I may have been considered plump, but I always thought then that I was disgustingly fat and enormously obese.  I had not yet unfolded the ability to reason at that time. If I had, I know I would not have today’s appearance.

However, even with today’s appearance,  I have learned to love the purest sense of my Self and I’m so content with that accomplishment.  In order for you to accomplish that settled sense, you have to discover who you really are; how who you are really works; and then you have to take charge of your life and make things happen that you want or desire.  Once you do that, you are so satisfied with your real, true Self, that your appearance becomes unimportant.

You can read about how I lived through this learning in my book “My Cats Have Seen Me Naked.” It’s enlightening, at a minimum.  It’s also funny and deeply spiritual. Let me autograph one for you.

Love,

Pat
