SIMPLY RIDICULOUS! A Realization and Transformation of Ridiculous Beliefs and Behaviors
This picture book is profound and invites everyone to look at their own unbecoming behaviors, and barriers to a highly satisfying and successful life. Things like finger-pointing, blaming, judging and making others bad and wrong – are Simply Ridiculous and keep us separated!
Enjoy the story of MeMe as she works through the Simply Ridiculous madness and transforms her attitudes and behaviors to unfold as she is destined to. Be with her on the journey and notice her heart as you read and as you watch her transformation take place, consider your own life challenges. And its not a gender specific thing, its a human specific thing!
————————————————————————————————————-
Simply Ridiculous didn’t start out as a book, but as a process of self-inventory as I was looking at why my life wasn’t working. As I owned my stuff, it became funnier and funnier. When I shared it with my family and friends, they all laughed and commented that it seemed like the list of their life blunders too!
We’re all having the human experience and I’ve discovered that it’s easier to laugh about it together than cry about it alone. As I’ve grown, I’ve learned to notice my old programming and the unconsious mechanisms that held me in bondage. I call this my “ridiculous self.”
NEWS FLASH: The past doesn’t exist and there is no reason for me (or anyone) to keep painful, ridiculous old stories and experiences alive in my head or my heart.
Now I’m creating my new self – one that I love! So when I see my old “ridiculous self” rearing up, I ask, “Am I being ridiculous?” If so, I chuckle and I choose to take the high road. Humor is a healing balm and laughter is the mantra that serves me. Now instead of creating such a drama of my life, I choose to see Divine humor in nearly everything.
I’m on my own unique spiritual path, finding my way through this complex and often confusing labyrinth called life. I’ve learned that I create my moment by moment existence through the thoughts I choose to hold in mind and heart and that I AM THE CAUSE OF EVERY MATTER IN MY LIFE. Without exception.
It is my hope that other readers too will recoginize themselves in some of these pages, stop the ridiculous madness and LIGMO! Let It Go. Move On! We’ve got work to do, and a world to save. Let’s start by saving ourselves from the ridiculous programming that keeps us living small.
In order to gain access to our genius ability we must first LET GO of everything that is SIMPLY RIDICULOUS! That means learning how to LIGMO! – Let It Go. Move On!
Often what gets in the way of us achieving great things are messages that we’ve internalized about ourselves that contradict the truth of who we are. We are miraculously made! Simply Ridiculous didn’t start out as a book but came about as a result of recognizing my own self-limiting beliefs and behaviors and making the choice to let them go and start creating my life and becoming the person I wish to be.
The most successful people in life learn to take responsibility for their thoughts, feelings and actions. We must move out of emotional immaturity and develop emotional self-management tools so that we can mature emotionally along with our higher order thinking skills. That is the crux of what this work is about.
We all have blind spots and the fun of this work is to confront and uncover unbecoming behaviors that are often hidden from our sight. We learn through feedback loops and this work provides unique opportunities and exercises to develop our intra-personal intelligence. In order to know and relate to others, we must also learn to know ourselves.
I believe that we’re all having the human experience and it’s easier to laugh about it together than cry about it alone!

Hi Millicent.
I need to thank you what you’ve done in my life, had been climbing one of the most rugged mountains in my life, moving slowly but firmly convinced of wanting to do, It was not easy to see how the pain of loss, and the discovery of me true self, were taking me to stop in the middle of the way, weak and not knowing for sure it could keep climbing or needed to go down, I sat there, and I froze, because I felt I could not stand , the circumstances weighed much more than I ever could have imagined, because despite everything that had happened in my life, this time it seemed simply impossible to move forward, with two lives depending on me, I knew I had to, or at least should try …. there were days that my dear friends and members of my family helped me get up and so I kept climbing, many times they went up next to me, many times side by side, other times, they simply held me and would not let me fall.
Yes, it is true, had lost “an important part of my life,” but had many more here and now, I was ignoring all the love that surrounded me, I was allowing the role of victim took hold of me, and that, confused me even more, because it just was not me, that is not my nature!!!
I still remember how much I cried and asked to heaven for those I love most, and among them ME, Yes, I love myself deeply …. I asked God to change my circumstances, I asked God for forgiveness for not being happy .. I apologized for wasting time, I asked forgiveness for feeling alone, I asked God for forgiveness for having forgotten that he was always here, always by my side …
I am convinced that I had to go through this time of darkness, because thanks to that I grow, now I see life more beautiful than ever, I realize that I love others as deeply as myself, found what I’m really made of, my capacity to give and receive love, is infinite, has no limits, and you know what? ….. It’s great that I discovered it !!!!!
My life is much better now, before it was beautiful and had a sense, although today, my life also has a purpose, and largely thanks to you, Millicent, you were the hand that reached out to me that cold November night, You made me remember that I was losing my essence, you made me remember who I was, you helped me to remember who am I…..
The fact of having seen you and hearing you was wonderful, it was literally hear you say: “This is the last step, give me your hand, let me help you to place you where you should be”
Now you’re part of my life and I am very grateful that so, I thank God for your life and pray that through you many more people find themselves.
Again, Thanks. Blessings.
P. D. I LOVE: LIGMO….! I ALWAYS WILL !
