Somehow, they got into a conversation about how to raise my son.
His father kept saying something along the lines of, your son could be great, you have to teach him, you have to read to him, you have to show him how to learn, listen to me – I am teaching you all how to raise your kid kind of vibe.
For some reason I was taking everything that he said very personal. We do all of those things and more, and my hubby’s father assuming that we didn’t, really bothered me.
On top of that, he had a really stern tone, and was saying all those things as if we weren’t raising our child right.
It started to get under my skin, so I walked away for a moment and I thought to myself, why am I attracting this kind of situation? Why am I attracting a phone call where it seems as if his father is downing our parenting skills?
I shrugged my shoulders and forgot about it for the night. But today, while I was in the shower, the thought came back to me.
Another thought occurred to me right after that.
Where did I recently feel like I wasn’t a good mother or a fit parent?
You see, I can tell when negativity shows up, that I must have been thinking something along those same lines.
So when the question above came up, I just smiled to myself and said, ohhhhhhh I was thinking that.
Obviously, I felt like shit because I had gone a little over board and didn’t control my anger.
Anyway, after I yelled at him, I started crying because I was so frustrated with myself.
I started saying things like, I can’t do this. I’m not built for this mom thing. I am losing my patience. I can’t manage this. I felt like an unfit mother.
Now those thoughts were way out of line, and I probably just needed a nap or something, but I could suddenly see where the negative situation with my hubby’s father stemmed from.
It stemmed from my thoughts and feelings about not being a good mother. So something showed up in my experience to amplify exactly what I felt.
If we dig a little deeper, the situation was showing me something even more profound.
It was showing me the ability I had to recognize and respond differently to the situation.
Just like I recognized that the conversation with his father was a bit off key, and I walked away. I could have done the same thing when I got frustrated with my son.
It was showing me that I have the ability to respond differently – in any situation. I don’t have to wait until a situation gets out of control or something negative shows up to beat me over the head.
I believe that all the things that show up in our life, have something to teach us. Sometimes we miss the lesson, but I got this message loud and clear.
When a negative situation shows up in your life next time, see how the situation makes you feel, and then ask yourself, where in my life have I felt this same way lately?
With just that little bit of investigating, you’ll see where the situation stems from, and you’ll be able to do something about the root cause of it.
The root cause usually has something to do with how you feel about yourself. That situation that is appearing in front of you is just amplifying something that you are holding inside.
We can’t change how other people act, but we can change our response to it. We can’t make other people value us, but we can remove the parts within our own self where we degrade and speak negatively towards ourselves.
{TWEETABLE} Change in your inner world leads to change in your outer world. #soulguidance
Remember that. Empower yourself. Shift what you say to yourself and how you treat yourself.

I can feel them sometimes when I am angry – just sitting in the background waiting. It’s almost like they are watching a child throw a tantrum, and then after a few minutes of entertaining themselves, they will then say, “okay come here and calm down a little”.
They try to reach me, and when I don’t listen they just sit back and watch me, eat their popcorn (kidding), and wait for me to ease up. Once I ease up and allow the space to receive the answers, they are right there to address my concerns.
We get so stuck in our ways, so stubborn, and so unwilling to accept the help that is right in front of our face. I do it from time to time, and I know that you may do it from time to time too.
This stubbornness comes up especially when we are entering new parts of our experience. Think about it. When we are going after what we really want or trying to follow our dreams, we start this cycle of self sabotage.
We tell ourselves that we aren’t good enough, we don’t deserve better lives, we aren’t educated enough, or that we don’t have enough time or resources to make our dreams come true. The truth is however, you are just giving yourself a really hard time. You don’t have to do that, but sometimes we just go there by default.
We are use to avoiding things that make us feel uncomfortable – especially when it comes to following our dreams, but what if the process wasn’t as painful as you believe it is? What if it’s liberating? Try stepping out on faith just this once. Trust your intuition.
The space is open for you to be honest about how you truly feel about yourself. Tell them what hurts you, tell them what’s frustrating you, and how you truly see yourself, and the angels will respond with love, sincerity, and attention.
They aren’t going to tell you just what you want to hear. They are going to show you where your perception of yourself may be a little off. They are going to let you know what they truly see from their perspective. Sometimes you just have a difficult time accepting your goodness and your good qualities. I understand. That’s why we are here to help.
It’s not difficult to allow something new. The only difficulty, is holding on to old outdated ways of looking at things when there is help and assistance all around.
So go ahead, tell the angels what you feel, let it out, get it off of your chest. At the very least, you will have friends there that will listen and respectfully reply to your concerns.
I can also assure you that you will receive so much more than that when speaking to the spirit guides known as Ray. They are here and willing to help you, but you have to be willing to allow the help and to receive the answers you have been waiting for.
Go ahead, give them a try. If you need to know more about Ray before deciding to work with them – you can read some of their messages here or see some of their video messages here.
If you are ready to give them a try – follow me here.
We can help you see things differently, but you have to be willing to accept the help. It’s here for you.

The old hag that lives in your subconscious mind, or if you are a man, the stubborn old energy that refuses to yield to your requests.
Imagine that this stubborn energy occupies a room in your subconscious. The shades are always drawn allowing no light to steep in.
Every answer is a no, you tried that, this won’t work, or who are you kidding?
What a stubborn, seemingly immovable, problematic energy.
You’ve grown use to her. You think that she doesn’t affect how you think or what you attract into your life, but she does. You don’t know that she turns away opportunities at the door, scares the hell out of your inner creative child, and leaves you feeling down and out for no reason at all.
Imagine that you enter her room. It’s dark, I know, because she doesn’t allow any light in, but you are aware of her tricks – so you have a flash light (a willingness to explore and change this energy) ready. All it takes is a swift push of the curtains, and consistent redirecting of negative energy to make her disappear. She hates the light, so as soon as you allow the sunlight (optimism) to shine fully, she will surely pack up her bags and go.
She hasn’t moved out because you didn’t know how to get rid of her. She made you believe that she would never leave, causing you to abandon your heart’s plans, and turn away from what called you forward, but you are aware of her now.
Open those shades, and send her out. It’s time to clean house.
There are some other characters we need to evict as well.
Evicting these stubborn energies will free up plenty of space to start allowing your key players to move in.
Stay tuned…

Can you believe that someone thought this was a scam? LOL. It’s really me Renee “Soul Writer” Brooks, and I am really giving one lucky winner a beautiful spa basket. It’s free! It’s just a nice thing that I want to do for one lucky winner. All you have to do is follow the blog and refer a friend. It’s a beautiful gift. So enter here for your chance to win and good luck!
I’m sure alot of you face this same issue from time to time.
We all want the best out of life, we pray for more blessings, for healing, and to have our spirits uplifted, but we sometimes don’t realize that we block the very things we are praying for.
I mean, how comfortable have you gotten with telling yourself you can’t do something, it can’t be that easy, or that you don’t have the support you need? We stay wrapped in that frame of mind so much that when the blessings do come, we can’t recognize them.
When you are angry, upset, or feeling down – the last thing that you want to hear is some Pollyanna Princess or Mr. Do Good telling you to let things go or to cheer up. Their messages are so clear and they give you a direct route to the answers that you have been seeking, but you are in such a bad mood sometimes that you don’t even realize what’s being spoken – so clearly.
We must understand that our prayers are always being answered – always. We just aren’t attuned to hearing the solutions all of the time.
An answer to one of your prayers could be as simple as someone saying,
Think of how many times you have listened to a positive quote for a minute and then your mind switched back to all of the reasons why you couldn’t honor that positive quote. Your responses may sound something like this, “I’m too tired, I’ve tried everything, I’ve prayed endlessly, I’ve done this, this, and that, I see no future for me.”
Recognize what you are doing…
Someone said to you as clear as day, “Just believe in yourself”.
That’s it. That was your only task. It was the answer, and you took a different route, backpedalled through your past, and then drew the conclusion that the “positive talk” was bullshit because you attracted a situation that confirmed all the negative thoughts you were thinking.
If you would have turned those negative thoughts around and really believed in yourself, you would have attracted a different circumstance, and then your conclusion would have been completely different.
Someone calls you beautiful, and you shy away from the compliment. Someone leaves a nice comment on one of your pages, and you wonder what their “real” intention is for leaving such nice words. Someone offers you help, and you think it’s because they want or need something from you.
Why is it so hard for us to believe that we are the right person for the job, we are at the right place at the right time, and the resources to support us will line up once we get comfortable with that knowing?
Maybe someone stripped your joy away in the past. So you hold on so tight to certain things because you don’t believe that you are powerful enough or worthy enough to attract more things that bring you joy. Or perhaps someone told you that you would never make it. So you get the impulse to try something new, and then give up before it even has wings strong enough to fly.
You have to realize that there is higher part of you wanting nothing more than to link you with your goodness, power, and potential. But how many times do we repress this spirit because we don’t believe what it’s trying to tell us?
If you have been asking, wishing, hoping, and praying for something, your answers are being delivered to you right here – right now.
I didn’t say conjure old ideas about yourself. I didn’t say phone a friend to see if they agree. I didn’t say check with your brother, mother, or sister to see what their opinions are about you. I said, believe in yourself.
That means you have to find ways to honor and respect the totality of who you are, feel comfortable with who you are, and feel confident with the palette of life that has been laid before you. There is an infinite space of potential that we all have access to.
Anything can be created from the infinite – anything!
Set your true self free.
