Saying Hello to You
Hello, I am Birte Edwards.
In telling about myself I could talk abot the internet community for personal development and empowerment I created with my friend Jeff Mossler; I could tell about guiding tourists in Israel, my brick and mortar business of 25 years; I could talk about going green with subjects such as alternative power sources and recycling; I could talk about alternative medicine I once practiced; I could be about internet and affiliate marketing; or it could be about other things I am involved in.
But that’s not who I am. That’s what I do … and enjoy.
That seems like a big mouthful, and it seems like I must have been doing all this for a long time. Long is relative, and I have had plenty of time to do all this, and I have plenty of time to do much more.
Who I Was
I wasn’t always like that. You see it took me a long time to wake up. For the greater part of my life I was running on automatic - the automatic that was set in motion in my childhood and that I allowed to run my life.
What do I mean by automatic? That I was not REALLY thinking for myself. I was being run by my emotions and my instincts, by what I had been taught to be the way to live life and not knowing or daring to think that there could be other ways.
I did create a great life for myself and with my family. I did love my husband Steven, when we married and had our two children Keren and Guy, with the later addition of Dror, my son-in-law, and Zohar and Alma, my two delightful granddaughters.
The sad thing is that my choices were made out of instincts rather than understanding and feeling, even though I would have denied it being so at the time.
And so the marriage ended up in divorce.
And that was also sad, because the divorce was also reached through
instincts and emotions rather than understanding and enlightenment, even though at the time I tried to tell myself otherwise.
I thought I had the life of my dreams, more or less, after the divorce. But there was constantly something inside me nagging me … I never seemed to be able to reach what I thought I wanted. As a matter of fact, I am not sure today that I knew what I wanted, but even more important … what I wanted to be. I am not talking about profession. That one I had chosen wisely at the time.
Who I Am Now
But that was still outside, not inside. And there the nagging continued. And so I began to involved myself with personal awareness seminars and personal development seminars.
That’s when my life began to change … from discontent to content (and that last word can be read with two different meanings, and both are included here) … from a life of victim to a life of creation … from a life of lack to a life of abundance.
I made a commitment to myself as my life got better and better … to get the message out to as many as possible … to find ways for others to be, do and have, as I have managed to do.
The way I do this is via this blog, my e-mail course on personal development, and through on-line mentoring, coaching and more with Jeff Mossler in OurLighthouseCafe
Take a look around my blog. Take your time, but be sure to sign up for my newsletter. What you may find is that I will give away a lot of stuff and information for free.
Why? Because it is so wonderful when others begin manifesting their lives. I have received so much, and I love giving back .. or pay it forward.
Enjoy what you learn here, put it into practice and start to create the life you desire and deserve.
You can also leave your comments after my postings. I will read them all and take notice.
To the life you deserve
Birte Edwards
