Your Tears...!

Your Tears...!
Tears are silent waters running from your soul.
Tears are silent words speaking from your heart.
Tears are your way of telling another just how you feel...
now matter what that might be!
Tears are healing waters, regardless of whether they are...
falling in pain,
falling in hurt,
or
falling in despair!
Tears are healing waters, regardless of whether they are...
falling in happiness,
falling in joy,
or
falling in ecstasy!
So, do not ever stem the flow of your tears nor be ashamed that they fall,  for...
tears are a wonder!
There are times when tears are needed for healing, so...
just let them flow!
Tears are for a reason, so...
just let them flow.
Tears are for a reason and...
the reason is, that, tears are healing waters as they become streams meandering down your face.
T = Time: Take the time to let those tears flow as they release all those pent up feelings.
Take time to be who you are - a human being not a machine... a wonderful, unique person who has a 'right' to voice your emotions...
E = Emotions: Emotion contained within, if negative, leads to hopelessness, unhappiness and stress! Emotion contained within, if positive, should not be held to one's self but expressed in happiness and joy.
Emotion released leads to self-acknowledgement and a voicing of inner thoughts and feelings if time is taken to just 'be'!
A = Amazing: Tears are amazing as they are part of you! Each tear is uniquely yours, each tear forms into a stream of running water and becomes an expression of your inner self!
Tears are amazing because they can replace words...
Tears are amazing because they are silent yet speak volumes!
R = Real: Tears are real because...
they are raw, remembering, they can reach others, they are reactionary and yes they are part of YOUR reality!
S = Soul: The words of your soul are expressed in the only way they can be... through your tears, whether the words that flow are from happiness or from sorrow, it is your inner self speaking!
Your soul is you, your inner core!
Your tears are expressions of your very being so,
let them flow...
let them speak and let them heal!

Rheema Radio Interview about my Bullying

Rheema Radio Interview about my Bullying
Today I had a radio interview on Rheema Media with John Peachey (Mornings with John Peachey - weekdays, 10am - 1.00pm) discussing:-
my adult bullying, what led to the writing of my inspirational blog - http://ruanca.blogspot.co.nz/ - and my subsequent Inspirational Book - "Musings of a Blogger - Inspirational Thoughts for You Life's Journey"
Check on the link below to hear my story and find out about my book!
http://rhema.co.nz/shows-djs/mornings/item/7613-blogging-about-bullying
----------------------------------------------------------------
Many of my followers have asked for a bit more information about my book so please read below and find out more:-
1.Where this book take place:
My book takes place in the ‘here and now’ of each readers life as it is written for them to be inspired to work towards and find their authentic self!
2. The main characters in my book are, and why are they important to the story:
There is only one main character in my book and it is, each reader themselves, thus… it is the reader themselves who is the most important person to the whole story, as, the information contained within the story is for them to read, contemplate and utilize for their own life.
The story is really each reader’s story… the story of their life if they choose it!
3. This book will appeal to readers, because:
My book will appeal to readers because contained within its pages is hope! Hope in the fact that each reader will learn something about their inner self. They will gain knowledge (and the tools) on how to go forwards in their life. They will, if they choose too, gain an insight on how to overcome and start on a journey of self-discovery – one of learning about themselves and their authenticity.
The two concepts running through my book (‘The Hexagon of Life’ and the Parable of the Butterfly) will open up new ideas for the reader to contemplate and work with – these concepts are new to many but realistic and easy to apply to one’s life!
4. My book is relevant in today’s society, because:
People in today’s society have to face so much due to the fact that life is so busy, stressful and can sometimes be a frightening world to live in. This effects people in many ways and will emerge as fears, anxiety, depression, sadness, loneliness and loss of hope – so much so that they look for answers outwardly not realizing that the answer they seek is found within themselves…!
 My book with its inspirational words and work book will give readers the opportunity, and tools, to look within themselves and find some answers!
5. The subjects currently trending in the news that relates to my book are:
One just needs to turn on the television, read the newspaper and look online to see how the world and the way it is, can, and does, affect people both in the physical and mental sense so much so that people are looking for answers! The answers can be varied and are many, including many self-help and inspirational materials! My book is inspirational but it goes further in that it is also a self-help book – there are tools to work with (user friendly, practical and obtainable) as well as words to read and absorb – it will be an answer for many and open their eyes as to how, if they choose to, can overcome and lead a great, happy and fulfilled life!
6. What makes my book different from other books like it?
My book contains information which will make a difference in people’s life and incorporates two amazing themes - ‘The Hexagon of Life’ and ‘The Parable of the Butterfly’ – which will open up new opportunities for people to look at their lives in an alternative way.  The workbook can be worked through at a person’s own pace, in privacy or within a Reading Group (if so chosen). 
The book is user friendly – easy to understand and has the two themes (The Hexagon of Life and The Parable of the Butterfly) running through it allowing the reader to identify a parallel between their personal life (the hexagon of their own life) and that of nature (the butterfly and the chrysalsis).
The book is written from my own personal experience and from the heart and, brings a variety of concepts together which many other books do not, such as:-
Dreams, Stoppers, Fear, Change, Self-Esteem, Challenging thought patterns, Loneliness and Hope, Happiness and, choices, Chances and Changes.
The inspirational chapters (ten), workbook (ten chapters) and subsequent ‘Reader’s Questions’ allows the reader freedom of choice to choose how, who, when and what they want to work on.  It gives the reader the choice to be inspired and to inspire others!  Also at the end there is a ‘Certificate of Authenticity’ for readers to fill out and frame once they have read and worked through the book – this is to encourage readers to continue on their journey of life seeking and learning about
7. What I want readers to take away from your writing is:
I want readers to realize that life is not hopeless… that no matter what issue/s overwhelm us there is always an answer – we just need to look for it and we can!  I want my readers to realize that hey yes, they can ask for help from others… and should do if they need too but, ultimately, it is up to each of us individually to find, and use, one’s own inner strength to overcome – just like the butterfly in the chrysalis we need the struggle of life to realize and know where our strength lies and when we do we will start on a journey of finding out who we really are – we will find our authentic self!
Come walk alongside me and start on the path to finding your authentic self!

Love, Peace and Happiness

Love, Peace and Happiness
If someone could look past your outer 'shell' and into your heart...
what would they see?
Would they be dazzled by the light dancing there...
the light of love, peace and happiness,
or...
would they see something else reflected there?
We each have those things that cast a shadow and scar our heart for always,
but...
if we let these things darken our soul and change the very essence of our inner self  a personal tragedy occurs!
Life is comprised of opposites:-
love and hate,
peace and turmoil...
happiness and sadness!
All of these reflect both the good and the bad and...
the light and dark of life!
This is a given which, we must accept but... must let the shadows of any hate, turmoil and sadness go!
We must if we want our heart be filled with love,
with peace and with happiness.
So concentrate on cultivating the light, (which is always here even if hidden for a time), burst forth and shine brightly...
 so brightly that it dazzles and engulfs any remnants of hurt, pain and sorrow!
You were meant to shine so lighten your heart now, and more each day...
as, you are so very worth it!
-------------------------
May the light Shinning through from the window of your heart reflect...
love, peace and happiness!

Bullying is a Soul Destroyer...!

Below is my international press release and do read what I have wrote at the end too....!
------------------------------------------
Blogger uses bullying recovery as impetus for book
Ruth Anne Caukwell releases ‘Musings of a Blogger’
CANTERBURY, New Zealand – Author Ruth Anne Caukwell suffered a soul-destroying period of adult bullying through which time, support and writing helped her endure. The experience led to her new book, “Musings of a Blogger: Inspirational Thoughts for Your Life’s Journey” (published by Balboa Press AU), which is a collection of inspirational thoughts with workbook exercises relating to each chapter.
An excerpt from “Musings of a Blogger”:
What is life? All of us have asked this question at some point in our lives, and we all seek to find the answers—but are there any, and if so, what are they? Many seek the meaning of life through religion, science, or in whatever means they feel will fulfill, or answer, this question. So what is life? Life is different to each one of us, and the answers we seek can be simple if we only look to ourselves, look inwards, look within. In life, there is only what you know, not only of the world and how it functions but also the secret life within you. Our senses and what we see make up our entire beings.
 “Musings of a Blogger”

-----------------------------------------------
Bullying is a Soul Destroyer...!
Bullying is everywhere in society and affects people from a young age right through to the elderly - it is NOT just a childhood happening as many ADULTS have and are suffering at the hands of BULLIES!
Bullying comes in all shapes and sizes and in many forms:- verbal, physical, mental, silence and even just a look!
Bullying is done by all sorts of people:- work colleagues, family, friends, groups of people and even strangers!
Bullying occurs for many, many different reasons:- jealousy, hatred, anger, inadequacy, self-esteem (high or low), punishment, unawareness and, power and control...!
Bullying has many levels and can be:- blatant, subtle, in-your-face, underhanded and sneakily done, a 'one-off' or continuous occurrence, but in whatever form it takes Bullying is SOUL DESTROYING...
B = Brutal! 
Bullying is brutal because it involves the destruction of a person's confidence, self-esteem, freedom and rights to be who they really are!
U = Ugliness!
Bullying is ugly because it shows the dark side of human nature - a lack of respect and sadly the need for 'one-or-more persons' to hurt and bring another down!
L = Leverage!
Bullying is leverage because it falsely gives 'one-or-more persons' the illusion that they are better than another... it, in their eyes, gives them the 'power' and 'control'! 
L = Loneliness!
Bullying  is loneliness as it isolates the 'one' from the 'others'... it sets up many false self-beliefs as it destroys an individuals very essence...!
Y - Yielding!
Bullying is a yielding, as it demonstrates the surrender of the'one-or-more persons' to their baser, hurtful instincts - kindness, respect, honour and love become overshadowed as they yield and succumb...to the darker aspects of their character!
I = Isolation
Bullying is isolation for both the victim and the perpetrator/s as:-
- the 'one' becomes isolated from who they really are in the belief that they are a lesser person and... a nothing!
- likewise with the 'one-or-more persons' for they become isolated as, deeper and deeper, they fall within the shadow of the power and control that bullying seemingly brings!
N = Nameless
Bullying is about being nameless for both the victim and the perpetrator/s as:-
- the 'one' gradually loses their name and identity becoming just the 'object' for abuse!
- likewise with the 'one-or-more persons' as they too loose their name and identity becoming just the cause of both hurt and pain!
G = Gag
Bullying becomes a gag upon which to silence an individual... their hopes, dreams, laughter and their... very existence!
It leaves instead ... a hollow shell!

Bullying is SOUL DESTROYING, but have hope as you can, and MUST, rise above it for... YOU are worth it!

My message to all who read this is this - if you are being bullied in some way, whether blatant or subtly...
bullying is NOT OKAY and you are worth so much more!  
You are precious and deserve to be who you are, so please seek help NOW! Hold out your hand, talk to someone and work together to break away from this soul-destroying cycle of abuse - I have done it and others have, so, you can too!
'After a cold, harsh winter comes the warmth of summer.
Just as the night will herald in the day...
After every storm cloud that rolls across your sky,
there is left a clear blue vista for your eyes to look to, so...
know that through cold, harsh, dark and stormy times there waits the calm.
All you need to do is to look with eyes that see, reach out and grasp it with both of your hands' 
Ruth

Musings of a Blogger Trailer

Monday 1 February 2016

Are you Ready to FIND your Authentic Self...?

Be inspired to take a Chance to Choose to Change and check out the book trailer for my new inspirational book - "Musings of a Blogger - Inspirational Thoughts for Your Life's Journey": https://youtu.be/rl5d31mfl2k
"Musings of a Blogger - Inspirational Thoughts for Your Life's Journey" A book which entwines a collection of inspirational thoughts with a sequence of workbook entries. By spending time sharing the musings and then reviewing one’s own life, the reader of this guide for life’s journey can set out with determination to discover life’s deep truths.
 Musings of a Blogger shares the story of a boy who sees a butterfly struggling to emerge from its chrysalis. Desiring to help it, he releases the butterfly, only to discover that the struggle to break free is what gives strength to the butterfly’s wings. Absent the struggle, the butterfly is too weak to fly. The workbook gives shape to one’s struggle, serving to build strength so that one may fly gloriously like a healthy butterfly.
By sharing this journey with the author, you can discover the truth about your own life and the source of your strength. As she writes,
“Walking alongside others instead of totally relying on them allows you to become strengthened. It allows you to become who you really are, able to find your authentic self and fly free. It allows you to be who you were meant to be!”
 My book is written in love and hope that you will start on a Journey - one where you will find your Authentic Self -
"Your journey will consist of many small steps and not one giant one—so step forwards in confidence and with courage towards your future."
