My first LIGMO home party

Stephanie Merricks LIGMO Home Party

As a new Luminary and I had my first LIGMO home-party with family and friends and it was a huge success. We were able to have breakthrough moments and communicate with honesty and openness. I get a little annoyed sometimes with my mother and in the course of the discussion that evening, I could clearly see how I’ve been judging  my mother. While I was taking responsibility for my ridiculous … [Read more...]

Simply Ridiculous Behavior #16 – Living in a Hell and Jail of My Own Making

Simply Ridiculous Behavior #16 - Living in Hell and a Jail of my own Making

If we create our own heaven or hell right here on earth everyday, I was certainly living in a  hell and jail of my own making! All of my accumulated simply ridiculous behaviors and mindless choices had led me to a living hell. I couldn't blame anybody for any of my misery. Not my parents, not my friends, not my environment, not my lovers, not the system, not the man and NO not even the devil! I … [Read more...]

Simply Ridiculous Behavior #15 – Falling for the Next Big Thing

Simply Ridiculous Behavior #15 - Falling for the Next Big Thing

I was an open and vulnerable soul... which basically means I was gullible! Gullible to the next big thing that would bring me out of the ditch and put me over the top and help me get rich. I put a lot of time and energy into programs that I never really worked for me - or that I never worked - and never got anything from. There is always some shinny, attractive, too good to be true opportunity … [Read more...]

Simply Ridiculous Behavior #14 – Acting Confused and Topsy-Turvy

Simply Ridiculous Behavior #14 - Acting Confused and Topsy-Turvy

This matrix that we are all living in has us all in such a spin that it takes some real discipline to get a grip. It had me acting confused and topsy-turvy. There were so many distractions and things competing for my attention that I din't know if I was coming or going. Eventually I let overwhelm sweet me under. Everything looked good. Which decision? Which choice? Which relationship? What to … [Read more...]

Simply Ridiculous Behavior #13 – Attracting all the Wrong Things

Simply Ridiculous Behavior #13 - Attracting all the Wrong Things

Attracting all the wrong things is easier than you think. We are all transmitters and receivers - sending out invisible thoughts, feeling vibrations and messages, and receiving them as well.  Whatever we experience is simply an out-picturing of the energy I had magnetized to myself.  All of the mess that surrounded me may have not seemed like a creation of my choosing, but I drew it into my … [Read more...]

Simply Ridiculous Behavior #12 – Faking and Pretending

Simply Ridiculous Behavior #12 - Faking and Pretending

Faking and pretending or the need to look good by putting on airs and masquerading is simply ridiculous. I found myself getting into debt, buying a bunch of crap that I didn't need and running up credit cards to buy clothes to hit the streets and look good with the girls. I used to fake it like I knew who I was and act like I had it going on. In reality I was like a lost kitten, just wanting to … [Read more...]
