A Spiritual Healing of Adult Daughters
with Vickie Spray
May 27th 3-6
The complex relationship between mother and daughter can create a vat of anger, confusion and feelings of betrayal. This one relationship between mother and daughter permeates our relationship with our friends, our partners, and our children, particularly our daughters.
This workshop will help you release your hold on the disappointments and compacted feelings you may have carried into and throughout your adult years concerning the relationship (or lack thereof) with your mother. It might be time for some clarity.
- She does not have to say she is sorry for you to heal the pain you feel from your mother/daughter relationship.
- The entanglement of identities of mother and daughter can burden your ability to see yourself and your mother clearly as separate Beings.
- Expectations of who you “should have” been as daughter and who your mother “should have” been as mother are compassionately examined and evaluated as beliefs that have caused harm to the most important relationship a woman can have.

The reason (besides his muscled legs and the fact that he was in his underwear) that the dance Tom Cruise did in the movie Risky Business was so popular was because he is his own Valentine. Same for Ellen (no last name needed here) when she comes out dancing and all those women hoot and holler and watch every move Ellen makes. She is her own Valentine. They are both beautiful boxes of chocolate, a dozen red roses and pleasurable kisses.
You do not have to be a dancer to be your own Valentine. What you do need however is to know how beautiful you are. That light behind Tom and Ellen’s eyes comes from inside of them and yes, granted, it does help that they are both physically beautiful, but that is not what the spark in their eyes is all about. That is not what drove them to seek their dream of acting. That is not what has allowed them to move through their dream career year after year becoming who they came to this earth to become. They love themselves.
Sure, you can say, “What’s not to love?” We must remember that Ellen had to come to a place of total acceptance of who she was in a culture that could have spit her out like plum pit when she came out of the closet. A Valentine believes in who she is. And for Tom..well, there must be something in his closet that he had to overcome!
Being your own Valentine only requires that you drop any negative thought you have believed about yourself. Drop them, throw them, toss them, spit them out, write them down and burn them, or say them out loud so that they leave your consciousness and remain outside of your mind. No more beating yourself up. No more self-flagellation. No more allowing the negative words someone else said to you to roam in your mind. You cannot be your own Valentine and also believe the crap the world may have told you.
Fill that void where self-dislike once resided and insert a truth about yourself that you have never given yourself permission to believe. People who are their own Valentine know their attributes. They know they are not perfect and they do not want to be perfect. Who they want to be is THEMSELVES. They know they have something to offer this world and they do not make any apologies for it. They are not pompous, they simply have allowed themselves to live a fun-loving life that recognizes their Valentine status and they know harsh judgment comes from non-Valentine sorts of folks. They ignore what non-Valentine folks say because non-Valentine folks do not know what they are talking about. It seems to me that 2012 would be an excellent year to become your own Valentine.
Vickie Spray is a Spiritual Adviser who assists people in finding their own inner Valentine. She can be reached at 850-322-6944 or vickiespray@yourlifeexpressions.com

Spirit Group January 18th, 2012
We had a sweet and powerful time together in our 1st group meeting for the first six week session of Spirit Group! We spoke of our desire to deepen our spirituality and to know our divine natures. We had all experienced an awakening to our authentic selves and the feeling by the end of the evening was that Spirit Group might very well be a place where this awakening could be nurtured. It was recognized that there is something in all of us that seeks to understand our purpose on this earth for this lifetime.
Some had come from a religious background and this had helped some and hindered others. Everyone shared a part of their own story of a new awareness. Some had experienced a need for answers to this new experience and others have had pure moments of joy that convinced them they were on the right path in their lives. We laughed at ourselves some and cried a little. The energy in the room was reported as being loving and safe.
Vickie Spray gave homework which was for everyone to create a character as if they were going to write a story. Besides the usual, height, weight, race, gender and background, the one common characteristic all the characters would inhabit would be that this person recognizes themselves as a Spirit Being in human form. This person knows her/his connection to Source. This person knows and feels a relationship to that Source. This person recognizes his/her place in this world as a Spirit Being in human form. It will be fun to see what everyone came up with!
Next group-up is January 25th.

She serves them in such a way as to help them find spiritual healing of human wounds in the process. Vickie conducts workshops, retreats and private consultations.

You are Invited!!
Healing Group in 2012
January 18, 2012 –December 19th,2012
Spiritual Healing of Human Wounds
Human wounds are created by a disconnection from our true identities. We were made to experience joyful and complete lives. We must heal from the identities others have given us and move toward our true SELF.
The three things we need to help us create a more authentic life is:
Encouragement – Support- Compassion
This group acknowledges that we have within us a spiritual self that urges us toward our true Self.
This group acknowledges that we are human beings who can choose to live from that true Self.
This group acknowledges that the goal of this group is simple: Each individual will find a deeper understanding of their spiritual nature and that understanding will assist EVERYONE on the path toward authenticity.
2012=YOUR SELF RECLAMATION
We Meet On Wednesdays
$60.00 every six weeks-Sliding Scale if needed

Eat Chocolate and
Learn to Forgive
Forgiveness in 2012
January 1, 2012 – 2pm to 5pm
Forgiving Yourself and Others
A Healing Workshop with Vickie Spray
The weight of grudges is heavy and grows heavier
with each year that passes. While the world
obsesses over thin bodies, our souls grow
increasingly burdened with the weight of
resentments from our past.
This workshop acknowledges that forgiveness
is done in layers and that sometimes the
misconception of what forgiveness truly is can
prevent us from doing the vital work of forgiving.
What forgiveness is NOT:
1- forgetting
2- condoning
3- absolution
4- self-sacrifice
5- a clear-cut, one-time decision
6- an invitation for more harm.
Come! Eat Chocolate! Discover 2012 in
a way you did not know was possible.
Abundance Wellness Center
325 John Knox Road, Building T – Tallahassee

It has been said that pain is inevitable but suffering is an option. We have all experienced pain from living in a human world full of dysfunctional and disconnected people. From emotional unavailability to physical and sexual abuse, the pain of living can diminish the joy of life if we let it. Healing Night is about breaking out of the present influence of a painful past.
Writers, Musicians, Artist, and Story Tellers will share their creative expression with other women on November 5th.
Come see and hear these women who have determined that what happened to them does not determine who they ARE.
They know the healing power of saying Yes! to that Flame Self within!

The pain at the bottom of the well is the kind of pain that will scream for help and receive only an echo in response. The self that is chewing the muck has lost its way and the light that shines dimly above the distant lip of the well might as well not be there at all. That person, there in the dark within the confines of the hole in the ground has nothing within themselves that can surmount the overwhelming obstacle of that dark place. This is what they believe and belief creates reality.
There has been a lifetime of discouragement from a world whose ideas on life are based in fear and the anxiousness that fear creates. The world dictated what success looks like and what happiness feels like. The world had told them that some people are more important than others. The world told them that there was a god and that god angers easily, he (always a he) wants something from you and if you do not give it, you will be cast out and forever forgotten. The world has declared who is pretty, who should be granted privilege and who should be thought less than the rest. It is at the bottom, with the grit between their teeth that they decide if the world was right in its judgments. It is there that they will birth themselves or allow the past to bury them. It is possible that there, beneath the earth surface they will see the glow of their true nature. It is possible that the quiet will reveal the hum of the universe that is within them. It is there where they will decide if they will live or if they will die. The pain has brought them to a place they were too afraid to go to on their own. But here they are. They may choose life or they may allow their will to give its final sigh.
