What's Happening in Ali Bierman's World

Sleeping Naturally After Way Too Many Years

Ali — Sat, 19 May 2012 22:13:26 +0000

I don’t even remember how long ago it was when I slept with my hands up by my head without having them go dead asleep–like rocks at the end of my wrists.

Well, that was true until two nights ago. Now I sleep the way I feel comfortable and no body parts go numb. pretty good, huh?

My next goal is sleeping on my right side and back too. Getting there!

Everything is Both Good And Bad

Ali — Wed, 16 May 2012 22:54:47 +0000

Seeking the good in the seeming awful will bring you to and keep you in happiness. Period.

So when the larynxologist put the camera into my larynx and again reported the vocal continues to be completely paralyzed and then prescribed a strong med to counter the very dangerous and painful effects of the not working chord, I had to look for the good in the situation.

I foudn it.

I still need to take better care of msyelf and trust the Universe to aways support in every moment regardless of how life circumstances appear to be.

To that end, I again request your prayers, Light and Blessings for my healing. Pleas see both of my vocal chords opening and c;osing completely and vibrating perfectly as Nature intended as well as returning feeling and control to m y tongue.

Seem puzzling to anyone else that my speech is often not there when I need to speak up for myself (which I have done, IMHO, eloquently).

One of the great joys ofj my life has become a serious and painful issue. And my great love of food–well I cannot eat what and when I want. Now that one is tougher to figure out for me unless I see, again this is puzzling, another great opportunity to take care of myself. I mean I sriously have to pay close attention to my diet and my activities.

ARGH.

IHEAR YOU, UNIVERSE! BUt that is not what the Universe wants. The Universe wants me to implement what I become aware of.

Getting There

Ali — Tue, 15 May 2012 15:04:27 +0000

Phew! I transferred all my websites and pages to a new host back on May 6. I just finished figuring out my blog entry info. Complicated to explain. anyway, now I can begin to post again so long as I have the energy.

Happy is being okay with how you are not necessarily returning to your previous state. That is where I have been the past 6 weeks. Building my life as I am now. I am better in many ways and my physical health has not made it easy to get through each day. I do get lots done anyway. I figure I send the message out there that I “can do” what is important to me.

What I know is the Universe is not fooling around here. I constantly find messages in my face telling me what I still need to do grow spiritually. I feel such gratitude for being able to recognize those messages and usually heed them immediately.

The loudest message continues to be, “Love myself first and take care of me before doing for others.” My experience tells me a mighty huge program continiues to run, mostly in my subconscious, telling me to take of others who I see as being able to heal with my help.

So I remind myself, I cannot do for others what I do not do for me. That means my writing and sharing will gradually pick up but still remain far less than before.

I can use your help…I am tweaking my program that helps women who are unhappy, unfulfilled and inappreciated in their marriages. IF you or someone you know fits that description please leave a comment–that will never be seen by anyone but me. I want to interview you/her to make certain I include everything you need in my revised program.

Thanks for coming by today!

I Feel GREAT

Ali — Sun, 29 Apr 2012 22:19:14 +0000

For the first time in a whole month–no acid reflux, no digestive tract hurting or nausea.

Maybe I will hit that tennis ball on Wednesday after all.

Walking and Singing

Ali — Sun, 29 Apr 2012 03:53:16 +0000

Yesterday I started to wonder if I would ever sing again. I also wondered will I actually be able to run and hit the tenis ball on Wednesday.

Today I took a brisk walk with a friend. The ace was not what I used to do band it was faster than I had been doing. And the great news? I never lost my balance. Now that is the first time since DEcember 6, 2011 that I was stable on my feet. Not sure if i can run yet–still have not found those tennis shoes. I may give looking another shot tomorrow.When I have the shoes I will train my body to run again. Nothing is impossible.

Brilliant seguey, if i do say so myself. For just a few moents today I sang. No kidding–with an almost full voice. It was bried but hey–yesterday I could not have done that at all.

Ta da!

A Video, Ebook and and a gift

Ali — Sat, 28 Apr 2012 06:15:33 +0000

I amazed myself today. Ideas started fkowing non-stop just like they did all my life–untill all the numbness got in the way.

Today I made a new video–no singing just some talking and laughing too. Then I discovered a faster way t format it intio a movie for uploading to the web. You will see it next week–probably Monday. That is the gift from the Unicerse–the step and time saving upload technique.

Ah, then I wrote my new ebook for my new site and business, www.HowToBeHappyWithAliB.com. GO there and also please visitmy facebook page, like it and entermy contest www.facebook.com/howtobehappywithalib

I need 30 likes to secure my page name so you do me a big favor. Well, me, you and the millions of people who are looking for the solkution only I can uniquely offer them.

Cool, huh?

Do You Live Here?

The show’s director directed Barbara Streisand’s tour. This amazing star won awards for stage, screen and television. Kristen Chenoweth puts on an unbelievable show. If you live in any of these cities get tickets before all the seats are gone.

Oh yes, my son is her drummer. Watch some of her videos here:

Buttons–and other miracles

Ali — Wed, 22 Feb 2012 03:31:35 +0000

Back in 1996 when a client’s attack left me legally disabled with a brain injury, I discovered what it is like to lose one’s intellectual powers and daily routine living skills. I suddenly saw how so many people spend so much energy compensating to keep up in school, at work and even in play–because their brains work differently.

Those people (some of whom get labeled “learnng disabled”) don’t go around explaining how much harder every day life is for them. They jut go about living it. For me, such people are the true heroes in our world.

With the surgery there isn’t exactly an injury (okay, I guess the severed chord and accompanying paralysis could be seen as injury–as a by-product). This brain experience has taught me how precious every little simple thing we do daily is a precious gift we get to experience each and every day.

Yesterday was the first time I could button and unbutton a shirt in I don’t know how many years. For me, you see, that is yet another miracle in my life.

When your world turns upside-down you get to see anew and witness countless miracles you just fail to see otherwise.

oh yeah–this happened yesterday

Ali — Sun, 19 Feb 2012 16:09:38 +0000

only I just didn’t have the energy to share with you the fact that I started composing a new piece yesterday. Been a long time ince I sat at the piano and started playing. I miss the singing but hey, I started compoing instrumentals when I was a wee tiny kid and I love it t5oo. I just wish I knew how to write all the music I hear in my head–or is that in my heart?

Another Miracle–Two years in the making

Ali — Sun, 19 Feb 2012 16:06:47 +0000

I awakened this morning and quickly discovered reason to celebrate, for two years my left hand and fingers were so numb even though I could tell something was touching them or I was holding something (I had to look at my hand to make that happen–basically mentally instruct my hand and fingers about what to do) but I could not feel objects.

Today I can actually feel with the fingers of my left hand.

I now what I am touching and don’t need to see how to hold something!

I’ver been living in happiness, smiling lots more–even when taking care of the massive medical bills! And my world is once again flowing, carrying me to what I want in life–which, bottomline–is to be happy and healthy.

sometimes we need friend to remind us of what we already know! Thanks to each of you who does that for me–and for others too.
