"It is Not What You Call Me...
It is WHAT I ANSWER TO...

Isn't that profound?
I just saw it on Facebook, and it has me going.

HELLO! I believe I have been answering to the wrong names!
Some examples:
Overweight
Aging
Struggling Artist
Physically Challenged
Funny Walk
Workaholic
Childless
Single Woman
Still not THERE Financially


As a very Wise Woman has taught us: In an instant We can make a decision to change our direction and change everything about our lives - (sorry Ellie, I know that is wildly paraphrased..)

So I am saying "Goodbye" to the static-laden "names" I have been answering to. If you want my attention, call me something like this:

Master of My Existence
Healthy Body
Capable
Wizened by Experience
Available!
On Track
Living With Purpose
SkyDiver
World Traveler
A Student of the Universe
An Instrument of Change


I encourage each of my readers here, to, right now make the list of names you answer to!

With Love,
Linda

Thank you, Linda! What a wonderful opportunity to muse on the names that I still call myself. My external life is filled with wonderful people who call me names filled with love. I am so appreciative and grateful for those gifts.

Through your post, I realize that I have kept the judgmental names of my childhood tucked away like broken jewelry, which I no longer wear on a day to day basis, but haven't taken the step to fully clean out that drawer.

Here's to clearing another bit of mind-clutter! Warmly, Susan
Aloha and Welcome Tina!
I'm glad you found us too!
Linda
This is fabulous! I am so glad I found it on the discussion board.... I love your message and want to thank you for sharing.

Of course there is no accident, I have not been feeling well today and basically overwhelmed and I love this - I was beating myself up with work and everything else "I ought to do" instead of caring for me and this is a message that I needed to have reiterated to me!

thank you again
Have a POWErful Day!

I missed one of your questions! Skydiving is THE MOST RIGHT NOW EXPERIENCE YOU ARE EVER GOING TO KNOW.I mean, you are just not giving a flip about bills or menus at 120MPH!
Tip From Linda Carol Berry: If you are a person who has EVER said "I have always wanted to sky dive!", then,
1.open your yellow pages,
2. look under "Parachuting"
3. find the nearest Drop Zone,
4. call for an appointment,
5. drive to the DZ ( the most dangerous activity of your day)
6. plow right through the waiver ( " I understand that this activity may involve serious injury or death) because you already completed the most dangerous part of the day when you got out of the car,
7. strap yourself to the cute guy, and
8. Experience FREEFALL

You will never...ever...be the same...I promise!

When I master more video stuff, I'll post some footage of some of my more exciting jumps! Stay tuned!!!

I have a lovely thought about a BraveHeart Boogie ( skydiver's term for "Big Ole Jump Party" ) at a DZ!

More to come...FreefallLinda!
Aloha Kathy,

...and a wonderful list it is! You are such a strength!

With Love,
Linda
Aloha Mary!
As divine wisdom prescribes, I was JUST at your blog, thinking - "I love it when Mary writes! She has such a compelling style and her heart just comes through, no matter what the topic."

Thank you for your comments. It has been a joyous experience and process. Now I am experiencing the thrill of sharing what has worked for me when so many things didn't! - what a gift!

I so look forward to our next time together - September in LA it looks like. I think you you frequently and with great affection.

KEEP WRITING!!

Warmest Aloha!
Linda
Hi Linda,

I've pondered this and have come up with my list of what I answer to...never mind what I've been called (mostly by myself)

Coachable
Heart-centered
Intrepid
Trustworthy
Open
Brave
Centered
Very Humorous
Loving
Wise Student of Life
A Great Servant/Leader
Pioneer Spirit
Highly Creative

Thank you!

Your Friend,

Kathy :-x BraveHeart B-)Bibby
What a triumph! A great post, Linda, your excitement for living seethes through the words.

How do you like skydiving? That thrill was a 'jumping point' for my husband Barney many years ago. He enjoyed the thrill of the jump and the extreme trust in the process of landing.

I enjoyed reading your post and seeing your recent pictures with your message of hope.

Love,

Mary
Aloha Christine,

Mom's Know!!
I did not tell my mom for some time, her being a world class worrier, and someone who liked to tell her daughter how much time was spent in prayer to seek divine intervention. in hopes I would not go up in smoke, and spend eternity in hell!
When I achieved my license ( it took determination - that's a book! ) I shared my accomplishment with her.... And she was soooo happy for me!
Go Figure!

Linda
Aloha Beautiful Bell,

Shauna really struck a cord - here it is 24 hours later, and I am still resonating with what she said.

Add to your list, if you feel you want to answer to these:

Cherished friend.
Gracious in all circumstances
Generous of spirit
SCULPTED TEACHER
Balanced
Beautiful in every way

Love you,
Bell
Cheers, My Friend!

*HUG*

*Breath*
I'll go have a glass of organic wine to celebrate you...

Cheers Linda!

I have not jumped for 20ish years...wow has it really been that long! LOVED it... we will have to share stories sometime. Like the one I statistically should not have been able to survive, yet went onto to jump 40 more times! And it was my mother who was fearful of my jumping that told me I had to jump again to overcome the fear! Wise woman, my mom!
