http://www.blogtalkradio.com/heartacheWhatever you are thinking and feeling today is creating your future. All of us have had things happen to us in the past that we are still holding on to today: whether it was a troubled childhood, a bad marriage or difficult job. Whatever it is, if you hold on to it as a negative it is baggage you carry with you 24 hours a day. It makes the journey through life more difficult. It would be like trying to hold a beach ball under water. It’s exhausting and eventually the ball will pop to the surface anyway and often at the most inopportune times! Instead of holding on to the issues in our lives as problems we view them as challenges with potential learning opportunities. This single shift in perception changes our attitude from victim consciousness (someone to whom life happens) to true empowerment.

Why is it that the victims of sexual abuse are the ones that carry the guilt and shame in our society? Finally it's time to take these experiences that have been locked-up in the darkest recesses of the heart and bring them to light to be healed once and for all. Today I have the privilege to interview Irene Stafford. She will share her healing journey through rape, molestation, guilt and shame and how she was finally able to fully release the love in her heart. 00:30:00From Heartache to HappinessnoRape,molestation,shame,heartache,heartbreakFar too often women (and men) are holding on to guilt and shame of some sexual abuse that happened twenty years or more ago.

When I was growing up I heard pearls of wisdom like, "Time heals all wounds," "Don't talk about your troubles; no one wants to hear about them," or "Just get over it!" If you are like me you probably learned these, and many others, from your parents. Your parents learned from their parents, and inaccurate or incomplete information is passed from generation to generation; family patterns are set. Learn more effective ways to resolve heartache or any other upset, you may be experiencing. It is possible to resolve and let go of your past and live a free and happy live.

Giving gifts to our family and friends is a wonderful tradition, but is it a substitute for really connecting with them the rest of the year? Is it done out of gratitude or guilt?  You, or someone you know, may be surrounded by friends or family and still feel isolated and alone. The holiday season can exacerbate these feelings. Wouldn't Thanksgiving actually have more meaning if we were to connect with the people in our lives and tell them how grateful we are for them and that they make a difference in our lives?  For me what is missing in our present society is the heart to heart connection. Over 100 years ago Thoreau said, "Most men lead lives of quiet desperation." What is it that we are desperate for? The feeling that our lives matter, that we make a difference and that we have a heart to heart connection with others. 00:31:00From Heartache to HappinessnoThanksgiving,holidays,hearache,gratitude,connectionIt's not even Thanksgiving and we are already bombarded with advertising for the holidays.
